Honorable Mention — Public Enemy: Sure, you hear and see Chuck D pop up for frequent appearances, mostly on college campuses or during political engagements. And he also has that radio show on XM. But, as Professor Griff pointed out, when was the last time you hear any recent material from the legendary militant band from Long Island? Where is the “Can’t Truss This” and “Fight the Power” airplay?
Seems like Public Enemy became an enemy of black radio stations and BET who eschewed their records in favor of lascivious tunes of one-hit wonders who are tied to the strings pulled by major labels.
