Professor Griff sits down with DJ Vlad to speak about his role in Public Enemy. “I was the minister of information. I would gather the information and kind of funnel it and channel it to Chuck. I tried to it Flav… those are some of the things that formulated the songs,” asserts the activist. Griff details Chuck D and Flav getting a deal from Def Jam and how Rick Rubin didn’t want Flav to be a part of the group because they understand his purpose. He goes on to explain that Public Enemy was the first group to bring uzis on stage and speak on Black Power while detailing the timeline of hip hop and the Black revolutionary movement.
