Rebel without a pause is the greatest hip hop song of all time!
💯 couldn’t agree more
No doubt
AGREED
It was until the genius that is Yuno Miles dropped "Martin Luther King" .... my mind is absolutely blown
YES
"Rebel Without a Pause" is one of my favorite songs of all time.
that song is the test of time it a black america song
the Italians in Brooklyn used to bang this joint so fckn hard, PE broke all kinds of barriers.
This man is a genius and he should have statues of him in high places
This guy is a total genius .
I totally agree with Hank Shocklee and make one statement further in addition... "Rebel Without A Pause" is in my honest opinion one of the most important Hip Hop songs of ALL TIME...
Always remember my mum shouting up the stairs "turn that shit down it sounds like a dying pig" just made me like it more...the intro is mad powerfull... can't call it best of all time because from Roxanne in 1984 to dre chronic 2001 each is seminal to their time imo
My favorite PE record !!!!!
IMO the greatest ever..That jam is sonically relentless and indestructible..the jam that started a revolution.. Fight The Power comes a close second in their catalogue...
this crossed barriers .. these guys started a movement ...
Rebel Without a Pause was sonically timeless. It still holds up. The first time I heard it was when they did Soul Train back in 87. I just came back from my trip in Germany and was blown away.
Straight up classic record; not just hip hop record........CLASSIC RECORD OFF A CLASSIC ALBUM!!!!
Hands down, one of their greatest songs ever!!! Absolutely dope!
Thank you for watching! Make sure you are subscribed for more!
Man, I can't tell you how much the Bomb Squad influenced my production, PE is one of my favorite Hip Hop groups of all time.
One of the must influential hip hop tunes ever
Strong Island!
Yo! Bum Rush The Show is to PE what People's Instinctive Travels... is to ATCQ, dope, classic debut albums that got overshadowed by their more iconic follow-ups. Rebel... was the turning point for PE and became the blueprint for ...Nation Of Millions...
Nice comparison!
Bomb squad definitely all time top 5 in Hip Hop production.
According to the official PE book that name wasn't around until Fear, it was about credits.
Bum Rush was a tight classic. Suckers to the side, i know ya hate my ninety eight!!
williemo44 Yo! Bumrush is incredible, album doesn't get enough praise.
It was dope but at the time it was too smooth for the subject matter.
When they dropped Rebel without a pause, then Bring the Noise Which was as Hank said aggressive, abrasive and attention grabbing sampleadelic and they pretty much kept it that way.
You're gonna get yours!
Shout out to Johnny “Juice” Rosado.
DJ Johnny Juice Rosado did most of the scratches on Yo and Nations, according to the official PE-book. Terminator X did some, but wasn't the main-DJ, it was about time and money. Check out the Re-animated TX version of You're Gonna get yours, according to the same book JJ did that one also.
the number one hip hop record made period till this day no record even comes close
I totally agree!
troy evans
Word
"Fight the Power" comes close.
This is the song that caught my attention to PE, and they been my all time favorite for all time.
Hank Shocklee is spot on because Rebel With Out A Pause was a first, it was truly ground breaking. The screeching sound that you hear all the was through the record had never before been heard in musical form. Honestly, at the time when the record came out all you heard people talking about was that amazing rap record with the non stop screeching sound. As ground breaking as hip hop was by this point (1986) no one had ever considered that you could use a weird screeching sound in this way. Remember it's not just the fact that its a weird sound (hip hop was all about weird sounds) its a sound that is a consistent part of the BACK BEAT! so it runs the course of the whole song. It was inconceivable at that time that you could make a record much less a hit record with that sound effect AS THE BACK BEAT!!. So once Public enemy blow that idea out of the water, every one jumped on the band wagon.
When i was in the army back in 1987 in heidelberg Germany living on Patton barracks and that PE album came out, rebel without a pause was our go to jam. My boy had a boomin sound system in his room and we use to crank that sh$t as loud as it could go and that would just get us hype and ready to go clubbin, those was some really good times.
GOAT hip hop song production All Time IMHO
Awesome story, one masterpiece inspires another.
Facts
this record got me Hooked!!! Mos Def!!!
greatest hip-hop record. it brings a tear to my eye. I was upstate doing time in Fishkill. this was my warm up song for my basketball games. it still amps me up to kick ass. live, on wax, cassette, or cd. it still delivers the power. thanks for everyone who made this record possible. it takes a nation was phenomenal. rebel was the pinnacle of that
This record was made for people like you, brother👊🏾
Rebel Without A Pause changed it all. This was getting played in white goth clubs and packing the floor back then.
it was played everywhere yes
Even had the remix jawn with Anthrax
@@fmartinjr That was Bring The Noise, not Rebel
Picture a mic, the stage is empty, a beat like this might tempt me, to cold show my rings and my fat gold chain, grab the mic like im on soul train, but i wait... Cause I mastered this...
I remember recording half the song off the radio, jumping between 98.7 Kiss and 107.5 WBLS. Then one day I caught it in a mix Red Alert was doing. I rewinded and played that record all night 🌙 its even deeper when you listen to it with headphones. Miss the old Bx B-Boy Days.
Off that 1st album. I always rocked to My Uzi Weighs A Ton & So Sophisticated.... ever since I bought back in the days and I still do. #Westcoast #CMW #Respect
Thank you for sharing this story .. I got soul is one of the best songs ever everything is so perfect and Rakim lyrics and delivery was so poetical and beyond this world ... Rebel with out a pause is one of the dopest songs in history
Salute! I love that era. EPMD was hittin while NWA was kickin it off. Shocklee and Sadler in the lab with Cube brought it all together. At that moment, the genre was flawless.
Sonic Assault Masterpiece!
INDEED......TACTICAL.....!
Public enemy influenced the world.broke down barriers for hiphop
Love the behind the scenes info that Hank shares on this video
Rebel without a pause was my cut and Public enemy got me through Highschool during the hight of the crack era 85 to 89 they words were powerful peace Chuck D. Flavor and Prof. Griff and the Sw1's I salute 🫡 peace and much respect 👊🏾💪🏾
This guy is a genius . I've listened to so many of his interviews and sonically he is a genius .
According to the official PE book he didn't do any beats, he was more of an overseer.
98.7 WRKS (Kiss) and 107.5 WBLS in New York City had Public Enemy's "Rebel Without A Pause" on heavy rotation during their years.
That song change my life. lol
Another example of how Rakim pushed the genre forward...
Hank Shocklee is the man...
Read Don't Rhyme For The Sake of Riddlin' the official PE book. Hank didn't do all the things, there were other people involved also.
Same, I defo agree as its my fav song outta all Public Enemy songs 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🥰🥰🥰
The contribution Bomb Squad and P.E. made for hip hop will never be fully understood to the average listener. The production/politics and the concept makes Shocklee/PE one of the most underrated geniuses in all music.
You're gonna get yours!!
Imagine having legendary emcees as your “test market” 🤑
Dope 🎼🎼🎼🎼❤ P.E so HAITI put some respect on Chuck D name 👊❤
I love this interview.
Greatest!!
Amazing!
Russell said The Bomb Squad and "Rebel Without A Pause" made Def Jam, period.
That's my favorite jam

This is part of my sound... my ideal...just a lot goin on in the traQ!
Fact
ya mon
Rebel and Terror Dome!
Marco Polo
Preach.
SALUTE!!!!
Mr. Magic seems like he was a very biased DJ. I know he had power being over WBLS but man all the great songs I grew up listening too. I get stories where he hated it and wouldn't play it. Did the same thing to BDP.I have always said Rick Rubin was the true Godfather of rap because nearly everything that made rap iconic. Russell hated. He didn't want DMC in Run DMC. Played 4 seconds of LL and hated it. Didn't like Public Enemy and it was rick who said lets remake "Walk this way" which is the record that opened rap to white people.
Mr. Magic was biased in a way that he leaned towards Queensbridge rappers, specifically those on the Juice Crew and those who were under the Cold Chillin Records.
Red Alert Helped BDP. Chuck ChillOut Helped QBC. is y krs came at shan. inquire Real Hip Hop
Russell Simons is a simp. He's got no knowledge of self which is why is latches on to Buddha or whatever religion he perpetrates these days...
Russell also passed on Nas because he thought he sounded too much like Kool G Rap and "Kool G Rap don't sell no records". Way too many classic hip hop artists, songs and albums would have never been heard if it were up to Russell Simmons.
funny i got that same story only it was welcome to the terrordrome for me
NUFF RESPEKT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
🎉HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH🎉
I can't believe Mr. Magic dissed BDP and Public Enemy 😳.
If I play this some in the whip……you best believe I ain’t yielding.
This was when James Brown was the well that everyone was drawing from.
The rock and roll scratch was too technical to be Terminator X, I bet that Johnny Juice did that one. The intro scratch could have been TX since it wasn't that difficult.
Busta and dinco wanted that beat lol
It’s the greatest hip-hop track of all time, Period, Point Blank, End of discussion.
Terminator X .......
Was a good live-DJ, but Johnny Juice Rosado did most of the studio-scratches on Yo and Nations. Unfortunately, a lot of his PE-work was uncredited. This is according to the official PE-book by Russel Myrie.
Mr Magic was wrong about a lot of things; he dissed BDP as well.
Hank The Genius !
He was a part of a team, but he didn't do the music according to the official PE-book. Don't forget Keith Shocklee, Eric Sadler, and Chuck D (Carl Ryder).
