@Sponge Bob "Post-1980 draft registration On July 2, 1980, President Jimmy Carter issued Presidential Proclamation 4771 and re-instated the requirement that young men register with the Selective Service System. At that time it was required that all males, born on or after January 1, 1960, register with the Selective Service System. Those now in this category are male U.S. citizens and male immigrant non-citizens between the ages of 18 and 25, who are required to register within 30 days of their 18th birthday even if they are not eligible to join the military. " "The Selective Service registration form states that failure to register is a felony punishable by up to five years imprisonment or a $250,000 fine." "Many men do not register at all, register late, or change addresses without notifying the Selective Service System. Even in the absence of prosecution, however, failure to register may lead to other consequences. Registration is a requirement for employment by the federal government and some states, as well as for receiving some state benefits such as driver's licenses. Refusing to register can also cause a loss of eligibility for federal financial aid for college."

@Sponge Bob The song was recorded in 1987 and released in 1989, it doesn't talk about draft in particular . The song tells the story of a conscientious objector who makes a prison escape: "I got a letter from the government the other day I opened and read it, it said they were suckers They wanted me for their ARMY OR WHATEVER Picture me giving a damn, I said never Here is a land that never gave a damn About a brother like me and myself because they never did I wasn't with it but just that very minute it occurred to me The suckers had authority..."

Damn P..E. ‘ Make you dance to the revolution ‘ the picked the Elvis part of the song just to ruffle some feathers... gotta love it . My favorite rap group ever 19 years old in 1991

Does not get better than this.

Chuck D is the man

bruh, I came from the goldbergs 😂😂😂 chuck d proves that you can wear clothes that fit you correctly and still be cool. Fight the Power!! ✊🏾

Its crazy chuck d was a radio dj in the early days and was inspired by the clash to start doing his own thing. He wanted to combine good music with lyrics that made people think just like they and other great punk rock bands did. People have no clue how much 70’s punk rock influenced hip hop.

I watched this episode of In Living Color on its original airing date April 28, 1991 on Fox, on a Fox affiliate Washington, D.C.-based WTTG/5 when I was in Hyattsville, Maryland during the time.

Chuck D the Prophet, KRS-One the Educator, and Rakim the God.. The baddest and most powerful lyricist in hip-hop history. Recognize all you young cats blowing up the hip-hop game over the last 10 yrs.

It takes Flava Flav to put the pep in the Public Enemy songs and his dances

BEST MIX "ONE IN ONE" - "FIGHT the POWER" - i miss she watch chanel Zeroooooooooooo Rebel Without a Pause

The juxtaposition of Chuck D and Flava Flav is amazing

Several thanks for sharing 👍🏿 😊

Fight the Power!! ✊🏾 Masterclass Ice cube brought me back here

Flav is the ultimate hype man...

Too bad there's no market for Public Enemy today. what they're talking about then is so relevant today.

dont worry theres always others who replace them. The first group which I might add was the first rap n turntable group was booed off the stage when they appear in Oakland, Ca when rappers first came out. They actually apologized to the audience saying they were grand master flash n the furious five with three turn tables. they were awesome then n they started it all. That concert the audience weren't quiet ready for their kind of music at the time. Now everyone is copying them.

real hip hop is about staying true to yourself

chuck d’s death will go unnoticed, while Elvis will be remembered for eternity.

i completely forgot about that episode. in living color was a groundbreaking.
