Band Biography
One of the most influential Hip-Hop acts, particularly in the realm of Political Rap, Public Enemy has had their share of controversy over their lyrics, which can be inflammatory due to their political nature, or at some percieved (and sometimes concrete) racism and anti-semitism, particularly in the case of Professor Griff. The members of Public Enemy have also done much outside of the group; Chuck D is an occasional actor as well as a lecturer and author, and Flavor Flav has done some work in radio and on the television series The Surreal Life. They're still going, though their albums have become less frequent.
