Public Enemy, also known as PE, is a seminal old-school rap group known for their politically charged lyrics and their interest in the concerns of the African American community. PE formed in Long Island, New York, in 1982. They were signed to the still developing Def Jam record label after Rick Rubin heard Chuck D freestyling on a demo. It then took roughly five years before their debut, 'Yo! Bum Rush The Show', was released in 1987 to critical acclaim. They went on to release the revolutionary 'It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back' in 1988, which performed better in the charts than their previous release, and included the hit single 'Don't Believe the Hype'.

A Letter To The New York Post Lyrics
Public Enemy
Yo gee
Come and get your new york post
New york post right here
Come on yall
Get the bost stubost stubost
Coasta coasta new york post
Yo new york post dont brag or boast
Dissin flavor when hes butter that you put on your toast
Put my address in the paper cause I smacked that girl
Shes the mother of my kids that I took around the world
Disagreements having scuffles when you share upon
You shouldnt try to drain subjects in a duck pond
If youre gonna tell a story about peoples worries
Watch what you tell em cause they dont bring you glory
It only brings agony, ask james cagney
He beat up on a guy when he found he was a fagney
Cagney is a favorite he is my boy
He dont jive around hes a real mccoy
Chuck d yeah, you tellin flav we got to let em know
Heres a letter to the new york post
The worst piece of paper on the east coast
Matter of fact the whole states forty cents
In new york city fifty cents elsewhere
It makes no goddamn sense at all
Americas oldest continuously published daily piece of bullshit
Flavor flav is the one that makes the post money
Writers making violence in headlines funny
Tryin to undress my past until its naked
Post got flavor from sellin no records
Europe asia to the street of new york
Flavor flav known for his finesse talk
Do it to ya for the post to employ me
New york post cant destroy me
Rapper of public enemy, rapstar beats lover
With the headline of a fucked up cover
Out the pot took plate new york post
Get your story straight motherfucker
It always seem they make our neighborhood look bad
Heres a letter to the new york post
Aint worth the paper its printed on
Founded in 1801 by alexander hamilton
That is 190 years continuous of fucked up news
Yo one can play the game, two can play the game
Yo flav read on cant forget you either jet
Flavor flav is your best jet yet
My own people own the most business
Write on faith of valuesness
Should have checked with me before you wrote it
Got it from another source and quote it
Put it out like the new year bull drop
In every beauty parlor and barber shop
Flavor flav world renown
Cant keep a man like flavor down
Yo jet be a good host
Dont print bull like the new york post
Augh, looks like somebody slipped up here
Anyway heres a letter to the new york post
Black newspaper and magazines are supposed to get the real deal
From the source yall
Sorry, jet you took the info straight out of the post
Burned us just like toast
When it comes to getting you facts straight about p.e.
Get your shit correct
