Dropped in 1990 and caused an extreme uproar with Law Enforcement, Fire Departments, & Emergency Medical Technicians nationwide due to P.E dissing them. Hiii Powered ❤🖤💚💯
Correction: attention to the racism inherent in the system. 911 wasn’t the issue. The issue was the the system didn’t value black lives like it did white lives.
Flavor Flav had a huge personality. He is a cultural icon for hip hop and street fashion. He always had on the dopest track suits, hats, and sneakers. He was a contrast within the group because Public Enemy had heavy subject matter, but Flav was on the scene hyping Chuck D to make the soundtrack for a revolution. I wish somebody carried the torch from them to today.
Chuck Stone III, my high school classmate, directed this video! That's him saying, "There's not a minute to spare!" on the tv screen in the video. This is one of my favorite PE joints! The "Fear Of A Black Planet" album was a masterpiece and all time classic!
This track was very political and relevant at the time, despite the humorous slant the video takes. 9-1-1 back in the late 80s was the refrigerated drinking fountain in the white neighborhoods but was the lukewarm porcelain room temperature drinking fountain in black neighborhoods. And PE spoke on it. Glad you reacted to it.
"I call a cab cause a cab will come quicker...the doctors huddle up and call a flea-flicker" ....lol.....man this brings back memories of my homie Rich. RIP man! No matter what mood you were in, he wasn't going to leave alone until you either did a dance move or bust out laughing at him. And this was one of his jams!! LOL
The strange dancing from the guy in white was amusing ... and I actually enjoyed listening to the song! There was some laughter (MJ's Thriller laughter?) that made the song even more enjoyable! All in all, a fun song to listen to!😂🤣💯
While you’re here you might as well check out Public Enemy Can’t do Nothin for ya man . They were great at getting you to dance to serious subject matters
Please check out some "Rage Against the Machine". If you like P.E.'s message, they are right on par. Metal/funk music with solid hip hop bars. Try: Down Rodeo Wake up And Bulls on parade Its a deep rabbit hole (in every way). ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻
I love this song 🔥 Obviously it's not the best in matter of rhyme schemes etc. but in my opinion it's one of the best rap "joke songs". I also want to recommend you something different, but with bit of humor 😎 Kool Moe Dee - Let's Go (it's a great diss track targeting LL Cool J)
My grandmother didn’t like rap but…. She loved this!!!😂
They tried to diss our music but ended up loving at least 1 song😂😂😂

This song brought attention to the problems with 911.

Cold Lampin by Flav is better than this
Agreed!
Lb beans videos
This song came out when 911 was fairly new and there were a lot of problems with it.
Classic video with cameo from Jam Master Jay DJ Hurricane and Samuel L Jackson.
Classic song
