1:53

we like to call the after party This

1:55

is the show after the show the party after the party the

1:58

bridge to get you from one full of episode

2:00

of Disgrace Land to the other, the backyard

2:02

to dig into the dirt. On

2:04

this episode, we are talking about public

2:06

enemy, the sources that we used for

2:09

this public enemy episode which helped us

2:11

uncover an insane story that we weren't

2:13

able to use. But you're going to

2:15

hear about it here. And of course,

2:17

your voicemails, texts, DMs, and more. And

2:19

as always, a whole lot of rosy

2:21

stuff. Alright, discos, nice. Hybrids,

2:38

mashups, collaborations. On the whole, when

2:40

it comes to artists we love,

2:42

these are usually positive efforts. The

2:45

band and Bob Dylan's basement tapes, Robert

2:47

De Niro and Al Pacino in heat,

2:49

Taylor Swift and Post Malone, I

2:51

guess. But sometimes, the melding of

2:54

two different artists or artistic elements

2:56

is not so great. Metallica. He'd

2:58

come to mind as does the sight of

3:00

Mick Jagger and David Bowie dancing in the

3:02

street. But sometimes, in the case

3:05

of Public Enemy anyway, the collaboration is

3:07

a massive head fake. When

3:09

Public Enemy and Anthrax released their collaborative

3:12

version of the PE song, Bring the

3:14

Noise, if you were me, 17 years

3:17

old, when this happened,

3:19

the world stood still. It

3:22

may seem cheesy now in retrospect, but

3:24

I am telling you back then, hearing

3:26

Chuck D rap over the massive groove

3:28

that a thrash band was providing for

3:30

him. It was as

3:32

if a whole new musical dimension had

3:34

been discovered. I couldn't fucking believe the

3:36

awesomeness that I was hearing. Rap

3:39

and metal together? Are you kidding me?

3:41

How had no one ever thought of this before? Sure

3:43

the Beastie Boys came close with their Slayer samples on

3:46

License to Ill, but that was more of a wink

3:48

and a nod. And he got

3:50

Run DMC with Arrow Smith and Walk This

3:52

Way, but honestly that felt more like a

3:54

novelty song. Chuck D and

3:57

Flavor Flav, earnestly rapping the

3:59

hard-hitting lyrics of their tune bring

4:01

the noise with anthrax killing it underneath,

4:04

rap and metal together for the first time

4:06

in a serious way, sign me

4:08

the fuck up. What kind

4:10

of gilded path of creative genre bending enlightenment were

4:12

the 90s about to thrust upon us? How

4:15

good could the future of music be

4:17

if this public enemy and anthrax, rap

4:19

and metal were the vanguard? I was

4:21

pumped. This was revolutionary shit. My parents

4:23

might have had the 60s in Motown

4:26

and Crosby, Stills and fucking Nash, but

4:28

I had Hank Shockley and Charlie Vanont

4:30

so suck it hippie. If

4:32

the blues came together with country music to

4:34

create rock and roll, what were rap and

4:36

metal going to create for us? I

4:39

didn't know, but I was there for it. And

4:41

then, Rage against the Machine. Okay,

4:45

yeah, this, this is the shit, this

4:47

is what I'm talking about. Rage

4:49

was the natural next step from public enemy

4:52

and anthrax, a revolutionary

4:54

combo of genres and

4:56

revolutionary lyrically, just like P.E. was.

4:59

I could definitely get with this. I saw Rage

5:01

the first time, the second time, the third and

5:03

probably the fourth time that they came to Boston.

5:05

I saw them open for House of Pain that

5:08

first time. House of Pain. Jump

5:10

around Guinness, Fights and Selfie. It's not

5:12

my thing, but it made sense. Okay,

5:15

I'm not going to love every child that spawns

5:17

from the beautiful rap metal marriage from our public

5:19

enemy and anthrax, mommy and daddy, but okay, what's

5:22

next? Who else you got? And

5:24

the next thing we got was the Judgment

5:26

Night soundtrack. Shitty movie on

5:28

paper, an incredible soundtrack

5:31

of rap and metal collaborations.

5:34

The aforementioned House of Pain with helmet, De

5:36

La Soul in Teenage Fanclub,

5:39

Cypress Hill in Sonic Youth.

5:42

But wait a minute, this

5:44

actually wasn't that good. It

5:46

was more run DMC, Aerosmith, Schlock than

5:48

the genre-busting revolution that I was waiting

5:51

for post public enemy and anthrax.

5:54

Surely though, it'll be coming soon. This

5:57

new music, the second coming of

5:59

culture defined tunes that would take the

6:01

world by storm, and that we would name organically

6:03

and irreverently at a later date of our choosing.

6:05

In other words, when the musical Messiah appears, he

6:07

who shall be named will be done so whenever

6:09

the fuck we of the generation known as X

6:11

get around to it. And

6:13

then he appeared. Not

6:17

as a pure, natural, revolutionary progression

6:19

from public enemy to rage against

6:22

the machine, but as

6:24

some red-hatted clown with pussy and

6:26

weed only on the brain. It

6:29

was Fred fucking Durst of

6:32

Limp Biscuit. This. This.

6:35

This doing it all for the

6:37

nookie bullshit was basically all we

6:39

had to show culturally from the

6:42

promise of the public enemy and

6:44

Anthrax collaboration. Rap

6:46

and metal had gone horribly wrong,

6:48

like some fucked up cannibal Frankenstein

6:50

descending upon our village to feast

6:52

upon our souls. How? How?

6:55

How is this the outcome? With

6:57

so much promise and so much

6:59

awesomeness produced basically garbage.

7:03

The answer? I don't know. Public

7:05

enemy and Anthrax's incredible melding of

7:07

rap and metal would bring the

7:10

noise was basically just lightning

7:12

in a bottle. Those two

7:14

groups were basically from the same place. And

7:17

though musically one was Venus and the other

7:19

Mars, rap and metal from New York City

7:21

at that time, it wasn't all that

7:23

different. The sensibilities were very similar

7:25

amongst the kids who were making that

7:28

type of music, but spread out culturally

7:30

from Sir Mix-a-Lot all the way to

7:32

fucking Mudhoney and back again. Things

7:35

got entirely fucked and ended with Fred Durst

7:37

running the music industry for a minute. But

7:39

hey, that wasn't all that bad. At least

7:41

it resulted in some awesome queens of the stone age,

7:43

but I digress. For

7:46

more on public enemy, you can listen

10:42

disgracelandcontest.com. Rock-a-rolla. Alright,

10:59

let's talk for a minute about the sources

11:01

we used for this Public Enemy episode. First,

11:03

I have to mention Can't Stop, Won't Stop,

11:05

A History of the Hip-Hop Generation by Jeff

11:07

Chang and also Check the Technique, Liner

11:10

Notes for Hip-Hop Junkies by Brian Coleman.

11:12

Two books that any hip-hop fan should

11:14

have on their shelf. These are full

11:16

of a ton of history, a ton

11:18

of insight into hip-hop that any time

11:21

we make an episode on a hip-hop

11:23

artist, honestly we're cracking these books like

11:25

we did for this episode. Chuck D himself, this

11:28

is very helpful. Chuck D himself is super

11:31

vocal out there giving lots of interviews, lots of

11:33

talks. So we used his appearances

11:35

on shows like People's Party with Talib Kweli and

11:38

Drink Champs to get inside his head and

11:40

formulate his point of view which drives a

11:43

lot of this episode which was not an

11:45

easy episode to write for a ton of

11:47

different reasons. The

11:50

primary biography of the group that we used

11:52

for this episode is a book called Public

11:54

Enemy Inside the Pterodome by Tim Griersohn. This

11:56

had so much information in it from

11:59

how to... He found his voice by doing

12:01

an imitation of sportscaster Marv Albert to flavor

12:04

phase numerous run-ins with the law Inside

12:06

baseball stuff here too like how you're

12:08

gonna get yours to kick off track

12:10

on PE's debut albums originally titled You're

12:12

gonna get yours as in Bernard Getz

12:16

The vigilante the white vigilante who shot four

12:18

black men on a New York City subway

12:20

train in 1984 Saying

12:24

that they tried to rob him it was later

12:26

of course found not guilty of attempted murder Public

12:29

enemies music was literally ripped from the

12:31

headlines music. It's part of what made it so

12:33

fucking awesome You could feel it back then you

12:35

can feel it now when you listen to And

12:38

we try to illustrate that with the way

12:40

that we arranged the narrative of this episode

12:43

To have public enemy story told

12:45

in a way that weaves these other stories

12:48

About the death of aspiring artist Michael Stewart

12:50

at the hands of the New York Transit

12:52

cops There's the Shakur

12:54

dramatic jailbreak in the case of the

12:57

Central Park five For

12:59

research on all those things who went outside the

13:01

public enemy BIOS to some great articles in

13:03

the New York Times and elsewhere but

13:06

I want to know this is uh Trying

13:09

to make this question as direct as possible. I

13:11

gotta give a little more background here So public

13:13

enemy to me have always been I recognize

13:15

this even at a young age. They've

13:17

always been folk music Okay,

13:19

clearly the rap their hip-hop I get it

13:22

And revolutionary at that, you know,

13:25

they're genre defining at that but

13:27

still lyrically They

13:30

are folk music even more than

13:32

NWA. We talked a little bit

13:34

earlier about how you know, they're their songs were

13:36

ripped from the headlines NWAs

13:40

were more caricature based I

13:42

think is the way to put it public

13:44

enemies was just was so

13:47

much more real Their

13:49

stories were so real so

13:52

representative of what was happening

13:56

Culturally To the members of that group and

13:58

to their families. Kind of that

14:01

music was being made in the

14:03

place it it was being made

14:05

in New York in America So

14:07

public enemy to me were always

14:09

ah is that is much akin

14:11

to Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan

14:13

ah as they did with and

14:15

of You Way and Ice Tea

14:17

or even more so in some

14:19

ways. So to me. Folk.

14:21

Music. Okay, and that's the

14:23

question our data we ask a while

14:25

back. I think it was during yeah

14:27

was there for use during hip hop

14:29

sort of cities anniversary thing that was

14:31

going on last year. We ask what

14:33

was the greatest hip hop group of

14:36

all time and I think we landed

14:38

on M W Way? Public Enemy. Probably

14:40

a close second I can't remember honestly.

14:42

And. Instead of asking that question,

14:45

I want to ask you

14:47

who is the greatest spoke

14:49

artists of all time. And

14:51

I don't mean Newport Folk

14:53

Festival Two thousand and twenty

14:55

four? Not that there's anything

14:57

wrong with that. That's not

14:59

what I'm talking about on

15:01

talking about Weeds. Artist: was

15:04

it Shook D: Woody Guthrie,

15:06

Nina Simone, Bob Dylan, Sinead

15:08

O'connor Bob Marley. Pick your

15:10

poison. Who best represented the

15:12

people spoke. As in people.

15:14

Which artist was the Wolf Blitzer

15:17

of their day in the music

15:19

business out there on the street

15:21

reflecting back to the people there

15:24

world through the music they were

15:26

created. To. Me, it takes a

15:28

nation of millions. To. Hold Us

15:30

Back by Public Enemy is the most

15:32

compelling representation of that type of folk

15:34

music that I've ever heard. Maybe if

15:36

I was born forty years earlier, I'd

15:39

say the same thing about Woody Guthrie.

15:41

Or twenty years earlier, I'd say the

15:43

same thing about Bob Dylan. But I

15:45

wasn't. I came of age with that

15:47

Public Enemy music. So to me, It.

15:49

Was like fuck, we're not hearing

15:52

this shit anywhere but here on

15:54

record. And. it was revolutionary

15:56

it was on inspiring and i want

15:58

to know from you guys who has

16:01

done that for you which artist has

16:03

best represented the world at large to

16:05

you in a journalistic folk music type

16:08

of way let me know 617-906-6638 text

16:32

nation of millions to hold us back on

vinyl and I have it on CD but

16:37

you also mentioned a group on

16:40

that episode and that was Millie Vanilli and I

16:42

good to hear from you again Millie Vanilli no

you know I've this has been requested from way back

17:26

and I've never really never

17:29

really given it any serious consideration for

17:31

an episode until the last couple weeks

17:34

I saw this really funny meme that

17:37

sparks something in me there

17:39

was like ah that'd be a cool angle into telling the

17:41

Millie Vanilli story

17:43

and it's basically Millie Vanilli standing next

17:45

to each other those two dudes looking

17:47

pissed and it says Millie

17:49

Vanilli standing by watching people get famous

17:52

for lip-syncing on TikTok in 2023 and

17:54

I just thought oh that's

17:56

too good that irony is too good I

18:00

didn't know there was a documentary on Paramount. I'm

18:02

stoked to watch this now. Thank you for hitting

18:04

me to that. And also thanks for

18:07

I get it. I understand why Res

18:38

War Dogs is undeniable,

18:42

but I related to Jackie

18:44

Brown so much more. So I

18:47

would have to go Hulk Fiction,

18:50

Jackie Brown, Once Upon a Time

18:52

in Hollywood, Res War Dogs,

18:55

and I don't know. We'll just, a wild

18:57

card for him for five. Whatever you want,

18:59

anyone wants, I don't care. All right,

19:01

19:03

I love the love for

19:06

Jackie Brown. I'm actually

19:08

19:10

Jackie Brown because I figured I was gonna be alone

19:12

in doing that. So

19:14

yeah, fuck yeah, appreciate it. 970, let's see

19:16

what the 970 was saying. We

19:19

talked about what the five greatest fight scenes were. Why did we

19:21

get into that? Was that because of Tarantino?

19:24

Fight scenes came from Tarantino. Tarantino came from Kill Bill.

19:26

Kill Bill came from the Kobe Bryant episode we did.

19:29

Okay, this is the 970 calling it. Hey

19:32

Jake, it's Dylan. Five

19:34

greatest fight scenes for me. I'd

19:38

have to say five would be

19:40

Steven Seagal and Marked for

19:42

Death against the two twins.

19:44

And then four would it

19:46

be Von Dom and Kickboxer,

19:49

three Von Dom and Bloodsport

19:52

at the end, And

19:54

two, I'd have to say Rocky, three

19:56
