you don t need no baggage we ll just thank the lord she was such a representation of black power. i mean, literally, her voice was an instrument beyond anybody s reckoning. it s one of the greatest voices in american history. her ability to travel across racial lines, and to bring an unbridled power, sexuality, but also rage. she became an embodiment of blackness, of a kind of soulfulness that was the essence of our people. we are black! our noses are broad!
tension, there was a release of the power. public enemy, the young black male situation in america, we feel we re all public enemies. we have a logo that has a cross. we feel that represents ourselves, and anybody in our situation. public enemy had already been the most political rap group, at the time and still probably the black group ever. they were taking from black oppositional politics that was different from the mainstream wronz. nobody really had the to consistently use that as a base of operation.

hip hop was growing fast. it was a movement going on. fight power. hip hop was exploding in every way and any way. as far as apparel was concerned, it was like there was no main focus. it was just whoever had an apparel company was basically part of the movement and tay got to win. it was crazy. crazy to be a part of it. only time you stop typing is when i asked him, i said so how much would you charge me to do an ad? he stopped. he said i ain t going to charge you. you black. i don t charge my people for nothing. hey terry stop! they have a special! so, what did you guys think of the test drive? i love the jetta. but what about a deal?
