the older I get, Chuck D creeps into my top 5

[Paper Boi]

of any rapper with a message... his was the most clear.


and it still holds up damn near 40 years later.

yeah public enemy shyt might not be pleasing to the ear in 2025, but it is maybe one of the best uses of the mediums of rap. still to this day.


and as far as i know about chuck D he has not switched up on anything he said back then. real one. i've also seen him live and he still goes hard.

Co-sign!!!

Chuck D low key might be the GOAT.

He has nothing like this in his discography

Still sounds just as good to this day. Has multiple classic albums and songs. Was one of the first rap superstars, and with their content, that's saying a lot. Chuck deserves to be in way more top 10 discussions.

One of the few MCs I'll always say he never waste words on the mic. Says what needs to be said directly and doesn't dance around it

That’s how I feel about Zach De La Rocha and he gets it from Chuck D

to be honest this is a little bit of a capitulation, but overall bernie sanders is the most anti capitalism politician there is.

i don't think it fully softens the message.

The man who made this


tap danced for a man doing and saying THIS

 

[get these nets]

Albums 2 and 3 still hold up today because of the production and Chuck's voice, flow and lyricism.

Fear of a Black Planet had him at his best in terms of different styles.

i don't disagree necessarily. i take less issue with it than you do i think tho.

either way the original songs are not compromised even if you think he is now. the music lives on.

And that's with Flav providing the Backup to really bring the Words home
