Public Enemy Radio, an offshoot of the famed hip-hop group, rallied Bernie Sanders supporters in L.A. last night shortly after firing Flavor Flav from the group. Our recap
“It is my distinct honor to welcome to the stage one of the original hip-hop groups,” Sanders said. “A group which has spoken truth to power for decades.”
Chuck D was in a talkative mood for the band’s 30-minute set, taking extensive time between songs to encourage the audience to be active and vote. “Voting is [as] important as washing your ass in the morning,” he said after 1991’s “Can’t Truss It.” “You ain’t gotta wash. You have the right to run around funky. You just don’t have the right to run around funky and tell somebody that ‘it stinks down here.’ You have to get your ass up and vote for something.
Later in the set, the politically minded rapper further implored the audience to vote, whether it was for Sanders or not. “Even if this man here tonight ain’t the dude, use your common sense,” he said. “This is 2020, the decade of supposedly clear vision and hindsight, there’s going to be a lot of cataracts in this fucking decade. I know damn well there ain’t gonna be no messiah Jesus in the White House of the United States of America.
The group also performed “Bring the Noise,” “Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos” and “Shut ‘Em Down” before finishing with their signature hit “Fight the Power.” While some audience members had begun to pile out by the time Sanders brought Public Enemy Radio to the stage, several thousand stuck around for the setWhile Flav’s absence took a backseat to the rally, it wasn’t unnoticed by fans.
