public enemy sought to destroy "music" and to ignite a fire in the asses of complacent black people.
they did not succeed in the former because the "MUSIC" industry made it prohibitively expensive to sample more than one or two songs for any given track. the fucking assholes
they did not suceed in the latter because they were overshadowed by meaningless, self-agtrandizing, gang and prison worship rap a la 2-Pac and Biggie and every fucking wanna be "gangsta" rapper, that foloowed the fully FAKE ASS GANGSTAS of NWA, because the rich white suits realized that the fake ass gangstas of NWA's ilk are easier to sell to the 12-18 year old white teen market.
the Music industry did not know what to do with PE. PE and sonic youth, remember that?
The music industry did not know what to do with real "gangsta rappers" like Geto Boys eaither.
By real I mean talking about the reality in life, not talking about how great it is to be a pimp and have fly shit when you are actually a fucking high school drop out with no money living in yr momma's basement and renting bling, cars, and jets, for your videos.
