Catalunya Calling
Chuck D
Public Enemy, Atlanta
As Public Enemy's mighty mouth that roared, Chuck D upped hip-hop’s aesthetic ante like no emcee before or since. B.C. (before Chuck) the genius of rap was most often its stylistic sophistication. A.D. (after D) we all recognized the power of hip-hop to mobilize the masses and elevate mind-states without losing an iota of its visceral appeal; "food for the brain, beats for the feet," as Chuck himself once rhymed, the bourgeois and boulevard both rocked with seminar-worthy precision. You'd think P.E.'s legendary recordings, production innovations (the handiwork of Chuck and Hank Shocklee’s beats-by-hardcore committee, The Bomb Squad), and turbulent career twists and turns would be more than enough to fill his resume. Given the present precarious state of the States (and the rest of the world) we need Mistachuck now more than ever. He’s still #1 (one, one... one, one... one, ONE!).
