PUBLIC ENEMY tour dates

BDx13 - 2-28-2007 at 03:20 PM

One of the most important political hip hop acts of all time, Public Enemy has announced a formal tour set to kick off in early March. The group, though still prolific, has not toured in some time.

The group, which features mastermind Chuck D. and "hype man" Flavor Flav will be touring the United States as well as visting Canada. After the March tour, the act will head to Europe before wrapping up at the Canary Islands on the coast of Africa on April 22nd.

In 2005, Public Enemy released Power to the People and the Beats: Public Enemy's Greatest Hits, a retrospective covering much of their classic material from It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back and Fear of a Black Planet. Nation was recently ranked among the top 100 albums of all time by Time Magazine.

This may come off like I'm a giant racist or cocksucker. I don't mean it that way at all. I will bet that someone gets shot at one of these shows.

I saw pubilc enemy with anthrax in like 92
public enemy had the biggest circle pit I have ever seen for their entire set...
primus opened
yes it was a damn fine show

public enemy are anti-violence
so I doubt anyone will get shot

No thanks.

I'd absolutely love to go. Not a single date close to me.

I would actually go to this if it were anywhere nearby. I fuckin' LOVED PE when I was in high school. PE, BDP, and a very few other groups of that sort were on just as heavy a rotation on my stereo and in my car as any Punk and HC stuff back then.

i'd go but they only play one show in Canada, figures...........

i love me some PE. I bought "It takes a nation..." when it first came out and me and my stepbrother wore that tape out literally. back when you had to ask for the "rap tapes" from the record store. they'd bring a little shoebox from behind the counter and we'd look through them. stores didn't wanna stock the stuff. That album was so ahead of it's time it's crazy. "yo bum rush the show" was great but the second album was always my favorite. i missed them when they played here back then. i wanted to go so bad, but i lived a few hours away then and my parents wouldn't let me. i'd go see them in a heartbeat.

You must not know anything about Public Enemy to make such an ignorant statement bro. PE's not your bullshit gangsta rap gayness where dudes have gotten shot... PE brings some knowledge in their raps.

he didnt say PE was gonna shoot someone.
just because PE is not a buncha gansters,
doesnt mean there wont be any at their shows.

i am not saying wether or not someone will get shot at these shows,
lets hope not.

Walking home from school in 9th grade I got beat up by 4 guys (black and hispanic) because I was a white kid with long hair wearing a Public Enemy shirt. As pissed as I was I found it ironic because of the PE message of anti-violence. keep in mind this was quite awhile before the Anthrax/PE colaboration.... I was just a head of the times.

they didn't beat you up because of the shirt
they beat you up cause you were a white boy with long hair in the wrong place at the wrong time....

could have been anyone

and gangsta rap fans don't even get into p.e.
they are afraid they might learn something positive

It wasnt a 'wrong place' maybe a wrong time, but no one else was around and I was walking home from school only about a block from the school. A truck drive pulled up and got out and chased the guys away with a crow bar. All I remember is thinking... wow this sucks and falling down while they yelled 'stupid white boy' and pulled at my shirt.

I clearly am. I'm not a fan in the least. Hence me initial statement of coming across like a cocksucker. From what I have seen, I have very little faith in Flava Flav. Chuck D seems like a very smart dude. I was just stating how I felt. I'm not saying the band is going to do something. That's great that they bring the "knowledge" doesn't mean their fans do. Shit, we see people getting shot at HC shows now too.
