Oakland based Flipsyde bring serious heat with this song and video called ‘Act Like a Cop’.. Lots of messages laced throughout the video.. This is what we need more of… Props to Piper, dave and the Crew for giving us the type of cultural nourishment we all need in this time of mass distraction..

Chuck D of Public Enemy brought down the house last night at Stanford University when he delivered a new video for the song ‘Tear Down That Wall‘.
He explained that he does music and videos to add to the struggle not take away from it.. he explained many mistakenly believed the landmark song ‘By the Time I get to Arizona’ was dedicated to the current struggle around immigration and the racist law SB 1070..It wasn’t…
Chuck explained it was a song that made to address Arizona’s refusal to honor Martin Luther King’s birthday. He says he recognizes that the same reactionary forces that smashed on King are also behind SB1070, but in PE’s new song’, it specifically addresses the oppression being levied on indigenous communities.
He said he wanted to show the hypocrisy of America where they she demanded that the Berlin Wall be torn down during the Cold War, while simultaneously spending billions to build up walls of our own.
Chuck also noted how we have vastly different policies with the ‘border walls’ between canada and the US vs mexico and the US.

dope video!
lol, i think i might be in some of the background footage…you too, dave…
Chuck D is about using the theater of “against the world” poly tricks to promote himself and make money. He’s just a 50 year old rapper trying to make a buck from public subsidized colleges……… where young people don’t know the “game”.
Nobody cares about black american ghettos so “mistachuck” the “raptivist” needs to parasite off a different “victim” as his personal promotional BUSINESS gimmick.
He hasn’t built anything that requires any real work during his 30 year career as a professional celebrity. He hasn’t built schools, he hasn’t built hospitals, he hasn’t built factories…… he hasn’t built sh*t.
If this fraud wants to talk about the “oppressed” (whatever that means) latino immigrants tell his black ass to go shack up in a shed pick strawberries in Watsonville or Salinas for a week and talk directly to these people working side-by-side. Strip all this sh*t of it’s sensationalism and throw reality at him and he’ll get quiet real quick.
Just like every other infantilized “hiphop” idiot.
LOL what ur name Grunt? and who do u work with? We’ll wait.. until then,, we’ll have to consider you to be Tea party or police….Chuck’s video was dope..
Joke crack and throw labels all you want.
It’s just a big flashing neon light sign of of insecurity
and It won’t negate the POINTS.
Tea Party?
Funny, why not just replace the phrase tea party with “communist” or “socialist” and put you’re stolen mob-facilitating political tactics in their proper context child. At least those two billionaire that fund the “tea party” know how to do it in a way that gets results.
lol
Who needs the tea party to screw up the minds of the youth, they just tip toe away and let people like you do it.
That will retard their growth just fine.
Dumb motherf*cker
lol
LMAO Chucks video was “dope”.
I’m talking about building real things and you’re talking about a “dope video”.
Yeah, he really busted out with a “PHAT rap” on that one!
Keep hip’hoppin’ and peddling that idiot “dope” Dave.
Again no name… no ID.. Just a Tea Party guy…
Points, Grunt? what points did you actually make?
i don’t know, Grunt, i think the idea of a 50 year old rapper is fresh in and of itself. I mean, 20 years ago, no one could have imagined that.
Chuck D is one of my personal heroes. i respect his integrity. He never sold out and has stayed true to his ideals.
If he was just about making money, he would have changed his name to C-Diddy and been a minstrel act, lol.
If he were Bono or Sting, the mainstream media would pay a lot more attention to him.
and, since when did building factories and schools become a requirement for people in the entertainment industry?
how many schools has Madonna built? or Mick Jagger?
At least Chuck hasn’t built prisons.
What he has built, however, is a body of work which is remarkably consistent. so it appears the “fraud” is you.
They are trying to bust up Unions with these “Right to Work” Bills and they are importing illegal immigrants daily to do work in America. America better wake up! Chuck D needs to go sit down, I mean – really. “Largely due to special-interest lobby, U.S. taxpayers give israel an aveerage of $7 million per day, and since its creation have given more U.S. funds to israel than any other nation”. THAT’S $7 MILLION!!! If this quote is true, there’s your answer to America’s money problems right there.
Sit down True Notice… stop crying ain’t no so called illegal alien tanking this economy or taking away jobs from Americans or busting up unions…You sound as intelligent as grunt…on that one.. oh wait y’all the same person… my bad..LOL
“and, since when did building factories and schools become a requirement for people in the entertainment industry?”
Never…that’s why people like this guy can get away with so much empty bullshit.
I agree with you, Chuck D is nothing more than a rap entertainer, one that uses political theater to make a living. There’s nothing wrong with it if you’re an adult and understand how absurd it all is AS IF YOU WERE LOOKING AT MODONNA DOING IT !!
But you people think this fool actually is some kind of activist.
Nobody cares about rappers that’s why these people need to pretend to be something more than they are – just like the fake gangster rap.
The difference is these fools gold “activist” clowns go around pretending to be spokesman for people that have REAL problems when they have never taken the time to do any real work. They’ve made a career out of cliche’s and soundbites.
KRSONE is another one of these spoiled fruitcake bums.
Rap entertainers should stick to their own realm otherwise they will end up causing more harm than good. This isn’t the late 80’s or early 90’s. People have the internet now and don’t need infantile rappers and ideologues going out of their way to lie to their kids and imbue them with a misleading view of the world before they’ve had a chance to grow into it for themselves. – they’re going to get enough of that without them – lmao.
Keep telling yourself what you want to hear about people who’s views are different than yours Dave, and nobody on this board post their real name. Get over it. lol.
Fuck the “tea party”
E-scribblah has been riding Davey D’s jock for so long. God darn, get off his di**K!!! Dick rider!!! I haven’t been on here since 2010 and you still on his johnson. Damn!!!
The nerve of Chuck D…. thinking he can talk about something other than pimps, dope and gangster shit. The same goes for KRS-One…. ain’t that right (g)runt. Opinions should only be made by qualified individuals such as yourself. While everybody “joke crack and throw labels” you kept it real with these “spoiled fruitcake bums”. The last thing kids need is a rapper talking about issues that might get in them involved in something that isn’t gangster or self destructive.
I can see that the (g)runt knows the “game” which i why i gonna be like him and just sit in front of a computer and type my opinions. Its a lot easier than standing in front of students at a college that might challenge what I have to say. Oh yeah, ” Fuck the tea party.”
lmao
Your post demonstrates how LOW the bar is. The only reason people even give fruitcakes like Chucky D the time of day is because he’s just a normal guy in a sea of rapping clueless dumb f*cks.
“But he’s awesome because he doesn’t talk about being a gangster and killing people in his songs!!”
Wow! That’s a real STEP UP!!
lol lol lol !!!!!
If the best you can do is assume that somehow these rappers are going to keep COLLEGE students from going to jail you’re sadly mistaken. If I recall, the last time KRS ONE was at STANFORD UNIVERSITY he threatened to “Kick the fucken ass” of Adisa Banjoko.
lol
Yeah “spoiled fruitcake bum” is more than appropriate. Tack on “crank pot” too.
Have you seen professor griffs college videos? “Pointless”, “embarrassing” & “fruitcake” can’t even begin to describe it…..and guess what? people EAT IT UP!
Illuminatti yo’ !!!!!
lmao
People can say whatever they want, including any rapper. But the tide works both ways.
If you need a celebrity image to keep you from being “self destructive” you’re already brain-fucked.
Now go back to listening to your dead prez mixtape while you take bong rips and live in a fantasy world little girl.
Preach on (g)runt…… preach on!!!!!!! You are truly the authority on fruitcakes, crank pots and little girls smoking weed while listening to dead prez. Plus, the way you “lol” every time you make a “POINT” is very coincidental because I do the same thing. I especially lmao at the fact that you cry about someone who”joke crack and throw labels” out of insecurity and yet……..
Now go back to listening to ted nugent while smoking meth and live in your fake world little hypocrite.
“You are truly the authority on fruitcakes, crank pots and little girls smoking weed while listening to dead prez”
No need to be an authority, that’s just called HipHop “culture”. Being an authority requires specialized knowledge. The embrace of this dumbfuckified bullshit doesn’t require much of ANYTHING.
lmao @ Ted Nugent.
Sure, and you go back to reading the rest of the posts on this blog that nobody important cares about.
lol
I’m making it interesting. I should be thanked.
Hope KRS ONE doesn’t show up at the local college and threaten to “Fuck me up” while giving a lecture bout how HeepHop will save the world from globalization with his temple o’ heep hop and sheet.
lol lol lol
Maybe him and Mr Nugent can do a rap song together. They seem to be on the same “level” yo’.
Well (g)runt…. it’s been real but i gotta move on. No hard feelings …. although I am disappointed in you for not mentioning how KRS-ONE beat down PM Dawn back in the day. Oh well…. Be Easy
I could careless about the Mexicans down south of the border. I would argue that they should be deported back to Mexico. Every Job that an illegal has an American could have.
I live up here in Seattle where I got the Whole Pie; of Illegals. Ive worked door to door sales before so I have real world experience on how large the problem is up here. You got illegal Canadians; Mexicans; Africans; Russians; Asians and many more. I say levy heavy fines against companies and make it impossible for them to work here.
Chuck D has fallen to new lows and it doesn’t surprise me on the comments. This is still America and he’s free to voice them like I enjoy my comments now. Those who aren’t Americans are privy to what generations have died for. I for one can trace my roots back to 1700s and I know the struggle well. Those who weren’t there are taking advantage of the situation my people struggled through. That’s where I stand on the issue; that is my view and will most likely remain my view.
This blog spot is in support of illegals? Are you joking me when my home town in the Midwest just had 9 murders in two weeks… Mostly from people breaking from economic stress… Are you joking me with this blog? I will take this a step further and say this. Stop concerning yourself with others plights when Ours is much greater… Last I checked I haven’t gotten my 40 Acres and Mule MAN!
There aren’t too many “american citizens” willing to work the fields, but their are plenty of “americans” willing to exploit the confusion around these issues to make a buck.
Including the intellectual fraud Chuck D.
That guy is more than willing to drape his image over a bunch of poor people and promote himself as their self-appointed savior, but he hasn’t built shit of any real lasting value or worth, and if history is any indicator, he never will.
Celebrity frauds like this guy are just hustlers masquerading as concerned activists and I hope young people begin to see through it all at a younger and younger age and hopefully not get sucked into this nonsense
I applaud Chuck D’s logic, Upset that more attention is given to the Mexican border than Canadian.. That’s like Concluding that a family in a low crime neighborhood does not have bars on their windows, a family in high crime neighborhood does.. That means they must be Racist.
