More quotes by Chuck D
The best American is one who considers themselves as a citizen of the world.
Chuck D
A visit to the hood through a record, or through a video, or through a film, is a lot safer than actually visiting the people in real life. It became a business model. It became a revenue engine that, you know, you can get to the hood without ever going there.
Chuck D
Public Enemy is the security of the hip-hop party.
Chuck D
We don't see the people who are doing real things getting enough props. We often see politicians who are everywhere but nowhere at the same goddamn time. You know the kind of person: You see them everywhere on television but nowhere in front of your face.
Chuck D
Reflect each day on all you have to be grateful for and you will receive more to be grateful for.
Chuck D
I tell each artist they have to grow toward a revenue stream.
Chuck D
I don't believe that everybody is out of some kind of cookie cutter, so the thing that protects me is always being level with myself, even to myself.
Chuck D
You can't master time, but you have to work your hardest to manage it.
Chuck D
Our freedom of speech is freedom or death, We got to fight the powers that be!
Chuck D
I'm a multi-tasker. I was down with that stuff before they invented the term.
Chuck D
Many have forgotten what we came here for, Never knew or had a clue, so you're on the floor. Just growin' not known' about your past... Now you're lookin' pretty stupid while you're shakin' your ass.
Chuck D
When culture is created in boardrooms with a panel of six or seven strategists for the masses to follow, to me that is no different than an aristocracy. It's not created from the people in the middle of the streets, so to speak. It is created from a petri dish for the sake of making money, and it is undermining the longevity of the culture.
Chuck D
The truth has no form, you know. It's not like walking around trying to actually ask for favors and to be acknowledged, it is what it is.
Chuck D
DJ culture always made us aware that the best records were going to come from the small shops
Chuck D
Getting on the road and driving along a road at night, or even in the daytime and seeing the oceans or whatever, is always liberating.
Chuck D
My advice to young people is ask older people questions and don't be afraid.
Chuck D
Minds are the real estate of the 21st century.
Chuck D
Hip-hop is a part of rock & roll because it comes from DJ culture. DJ culture is the embodiment of all genres and all recorded music, if you actually pay attention to it.
Chuck D
A lot of the post-1977 dancefloor disco sounds had their place at one time, but you can't bring them back unless you bring back a floor.
Chuck D
Bigger doesn't mean better unless you really understand what bigger is.
Chuck D
