I respect all of this.
I heard the Public Enemy tracks off of the House Party flicks they were dope and then the movie soundtracks like Any Given Sunday.
It was apt Chuck D used to rhyme in the music videos with a speakerphone, because dude was on that Marcus Garvey address an audience with your best mode.
His flow for me was a little 2 steps short of a bounce that I like, the swagger darts of the 90s and beyond but I respect him almost a 100%.
This is due to me being a big Professor Griff fanboy lol, I still hear from Professor Griff when he is dropping info hear and there.

Top 10 for me, not just of rappers with a message but just in general.

The reason I say top 10 instead of 5 is because technically he isn't too impressive. But he is top tier message/content wise.

I've been saying since the SOHH days that Chuck's in my Top 10.
Dude has a ridiculous amount of legendary verses. Mad mad classics.

Classic moment when Chuck was kicking them weak lyrics from 1982 on his demo, not using his amazing voice effectively
and sounding super UN-confident on the mic and Mr. Magic shytted on him HARD
Its crazy how much Chuck an early 80s emcee stepped up for PE's 1986 album and then stepped up AGAIN for nation of millions
from "no more music by the suckers"
to "I'm proud of ya'll"

Nah. I respect and appreciate Public enemy as a group. The music the message but a top 5 list is to me about technical proficiency, rapping skill and ability plus song making. Chuck only gets. The song making. I wouldn't personally rate his rapping skill high. Great voice and delivery. Rarely had a good flow. He was giving speeches and sermons to my ears. It worked on a lot of the early explosive PE producing. It didn't work on a lot of their 90s shyt and beyond.
The last PE album I threw on and my fav track was the flavor fav solo about his dead homie, easily. Chuck didn't have the dated flow or style of his era but he also wasn't as smooth as the MC's that came after him.

That's just the vapors. PE blew up, so he couldn't front of them anymore.
Magic was known for being a hater. One of the worst wannabe gatekeepers in Hip Hop history. Dude literally said that "Rebel Without a Pause" was a "wack record" and that PE needed to "give up on trying to make music". He dissed Tribe and De La Soul. He also said BDP and KRS were wack. Anybody that Red Alert liked or helped to get on, Magic was on the radio saying they were wack and dissing them. We would've missed out on a lot of legends and classic albums if Magic had his way. If you weren't from Queensbridge or in Juice Crew, he was dissing you, around that time.
But then later, even the QB rappers didn't like dude. Craig G popped up on Stretch and Bobbito in '93 and said "F*ck, Mr. Magic" in a freestyle, with Red Alert there, lol. Magic was just one of those dudes that damn near nobody liked.
