    PE was my favorite …
    PE was my favorite group in the 90’s. Yo! Bum Rush The Show, Fear of a Black Planet, and the greatest hip hop album ever made “It Takes A Nation of Millions…” made hip hop important. It’s obvious base on the stuff they do now-a-days that the Bomb Squad had a lot to do with their success. They were ahead of their time… this video is kinda wack though. MLK wouldn’t approve of the terrorist imagery. But PE was “in your face” and that was dope back then.

  2. This was a pivotal …
    This was a pivotal momment in my life, this group has always been important to me and my politics. Love or hate them this group made me open my eyes and look at this world and see thru all the BULLSHIT!

    More people should have viewed this video I imagine!! It doesn’t matter if u like it or not. Real no BS.

  4. quran777, you’re …
    quran777, you’re point is valid, but all I’m saying is MLKjr wouldnt have wanted people to retaliate at all to even the most outrageous provocations. I’ll let him speak for himself: “we repeatedly asked ourselves: “Are you able to accept blows without retaliating?” … I have earnestly opposed violent tension, but there is a type of constructive, nonviolent tension which is necessary for growth.” letter from a birmingham jail

    You’re quite the liar. Everyone knows s don’t feel guilt. I don’t doubt that you’re a crook since according to the Department of Justice, one in every six of you s is involved in some phase of the system.

    It’s funny that s are still dumb enough to still call us crackers. s started calling us crackers because of the sound the whip made when the overseers put it to your black es.

    Too bad Flobots’ music sucks. At least they’re hungry for change. I bet they still wait in line for Apple’s latest bullshit toys though, that’s all the youth does today.

    This generation doesn’t get the fact that the civil rights movement didn’t end in the 60’s . Lip service isn’t the same as freedom . And if we all ain’t free then none are free . Rage against the misinformation !
