Weekend Song - Public Enemy

Public Enemy - Give It Up

I love this track and Chuck D’s voice in it. He remains one of the most eloquent artists in music with a rhythm to carry any message. There’s not much syncopation in it like Eminem, but/so it packs a punch.

The production in this is almost nothing and that takes some talent to pull off. This came out in 1994 when indie grunge and gangster rap had everyone looking the other way, but the glipse I caught was enough to make my head turn and spin.

    But that cannot mean “Put your motherfucking penises up if you sympathise with the sentiments that I am expressing, lady dogs”.

  9. Ed R Says:

    I am giggling at a proper British accent reciting the words Katy just typed.
    But overall, Uargh.
