Public Enemy might as well burry "Fight the Power" deep into the pits of a slave's grave, because Flava Flav's coonish ways have totally contradicted everything this song once stood for. ONCE stood for... as in past tense.

According to VH1:

"VH1 has compiled its list of the 100 greatest hip-hop songs, and Public Enemy's black power anthem Fight the Power tops the list."

VH1 should be ashamed of themselves. Aren't these the same people that stamped Flava Flav's coon status into permanence? I knew, once I saw Flav in "The Surreal Life," then "Strange Love," and finally the first season of "Flavor of Love," that Flav was going to forever be shuckin n' jivin,' pulling back his lips to show his gold fronts, and bobbing his head around with his eyes wide open looking stupid. How happily does he bend over to let the supremacists kick him in the ass in exchange for a quarter... degrading himself in a white or black-face styled performance; big, red watermelon coon lips painted on and all. And all for a little money. Now, thanks to the success of all three "Flavor of Love" seasons, Flav is embarrassing the entire black race with that hideous, despicable, stereotype-plagued, modern-day minstrel show known to many as "Under One Roof."

To add insult to injury, let's post some of the lyrics from the "best hip-hop song":

To revolutionize make a change nothin's strange/ People, people we are the same/No we're not the same/ Cause we don't know the game/ What we need is awareness, we can't get careless/You say what is this?/ My beloved lets get down to busines/ Mental self defensive fitness/ (Yo) bum rush the show/ You gotta go for what you know/ Make everybody see, in order to fight the powers that be/..."

Let's talk about "awareness." Are you aware of the ass that these producers are making out of you? You obviously "don't know the game" that's being run on your clueless, crackhead ass. Or you know, but are "careless" enough to sell out for a check. Meanwhile, Chuck D remains he's cool with this foolishness, claiming this Flava Flav we're seeing is nothing different than the one he's always known. Yes, we know Flav was always a hypeman. And the job of a hypeman is to be hyped. But this television exploitation sh*t is taking it too far. It's just downright embarrassing.
