Title Details
Description
Chuck D founder of the rap group Public Enemy. With the group's emergence in 1987, they ushered in politically conscious rap, portraying the world of many young urban black men, of limited opportunity, drugs, guns, and violent death. Their song "Fight the Power" was featured Spike Lee's film, "Do the Right Thing." In 1989 the group was the focus of controversy when one of its members, the "minister of information" made anti-semitic comments. Other band members spoke out against the remarks. The group's hits include "Don't Believe the Hype," "Fear of a Black Planet," and "Bring the Noise." Last summer Chuck D became a roving commentator for FOX news. He has a new memoir "Chuck D: Fight the Power" (Delacorte Press)
