Public Enemy Performs Free Show in Soweto, South Africa (Video)
When I went to South Africa for the first time last year it was one of the most enjoyable & memorable experiences of my life. I took advantage to soak it all in from the cosmopolitan areas to the hoods of Soweto which is short for “Southwestern Townships”.Public Enemy took a journey near the cradle of civilization to show love to the people of Soweto about 30 miles or so outside of the capital of Johannesburg. Many of the people I met in South Africa told me that when American artists come to visit they never go & hang out with the people or visit Soweto. I’m not surprised to see Chuck D in this video let the people of Soweto know to hold those artists accountable when they come their country. Chuck D wasn’t lying when he mentioned on his twitter page that he thinks he left his heart in South Africa.
Public Enemy: The Art Of Chuck D (Video)
I respect Chuck D for many reasons from the music, as an emcee, to sports, to politics, but I never knew he was heavily into art. Check out this brief documentary from Chuck D’s website TheArtOfChuckD.com about his venture into fine art influenced by the immigration policies taking place in Arizona.
The Roots ‘Fight The Power’ With Chuck D & Clyde Stubblefield On The Jimmy Fallon Show (Video)
This is definitely a classic moment right here for music fans. What you are witnessing in the video above are the ‘Copyright Criminals Allstar Band’ featuring Clyde Stubblefield, Chuck D, & Ecletic Method. Clyde Stubblefield has been one of the most sampled artists in Hip Hop & he’s rocking alongside The Roots & Chuck D of Public Enemy on Late Night Television! Just like the song ‘Fight The Power’….. THIS. IS. CLASSIC!
