you're talking to someone that took part in changing the face of hip hop. when "it takes a nation of millions" dropped, that album raised the production bar sky high. the whole hip hop industry was never the same. when he was at dmz vs dubwar here in nyc, he had an airhorn can, and was onstage with all of us.

legend!
What really pisses me off is that PUBLIC ENEMY have been written out of music history. They are barly considered a foot note. In actual fact they are one of the most important bands of the 20th century. And they should be given the fucking respect that they have earned.

Who stole the soul?
Easy now, there's plenty of people recognising PE. A couple years ago it was impossible to buy MOJO Magazine without Chuck being in some article or PE showing up in a "Best Ever" list.

i'm pretty sure spin or rolling stone or one of those mags had fear of a black planet as the 2nd best album of the 90's,and flava has tv shows and there's PE action figures etc.

honestly i think public enemy is one of the most recognized hiphop groups of all time

From the DJ mag feature:

There’s also the small matter of musical legends like Public Enemy producer Hank Shocklee, who heard Mala at New York’s pivotal Dub War event. “When I saw those guys perform it really blew my mind,” he says. “I finally saw people pushing the envelope to places where I always thought music could go. It intrigued me to the point where now I know most of the DJs and producers and I‘m touch with a lot of the stateside cats. I just think it’s very, very cool. I look at the dubstep community and I see the early beginnings of where hip hop started out.” So much so, he’s releasing his first dubstep 12” at the end of the summer, a tune he describes as “psychedelic roots vibration with some crazy wicked bass energy.”

Ah crap, I thought i'd beaten y'all to it when I read this:

(From an interview on the Propellerheads site about Reason:)

Are there any productions of yours where Reason has played an important part?

Well I just did the Yoko Ono remix and I strictly used Reason for all my drums and samples. I am doing a piece right now for American Gangster, the movie. Also I am building my own album which is a dubstep record where I am using Reason for the drum parts.

Either way, awesome news!

I seem to remember reading somewhere (blackdown blog???) that he was.
shocklee 001 coming soon. watch this space.

Will you be making any dubstep tunes?
I’m in the process of putting a 12” at the end of August, put some of my interpretation of dubstep out there. See how people receive it. It’s funny because my parents are West Indian so I have more of a reggae side. It’s going to be psychedelic roots kind of vibration with some crazy wicked bass energy. I can’t even describe it yet, but it’s going to be cool and fun.
