Public Enemy

From TheBestLinks.com

See The Public Enemy for the 1931 movie and Public Enemy (documentary) for the 1999 Black Panthers documentary film.

Public Enemy are a popular rap group.

Since their formation in New York in the mid/late 1980s, they have been highly influential. Over an innovative brand of hip hop employing samples and scratching by DJ Terminator X, Chuck D's raps were frequently explicitly political, often concentrating on black pride and black power and taking a militant stand on many issues. Their earlier work was also explicitly influenced by the teachings of the Nation of Islam. Other members of the group are Professor Griff, who was accused of anti-Semitism, and Flavor Flav, who provides some comic relief.

As Terminator X took early retirement, Atlanta native DJ Lord now takes his place as the group's main DJ.
