I have been revisiting my love for Chuck D, Flava Flav, and Terminator X — collectively known as Public Enemy. I remember driving my parents station wagon (sans built-in tape deck) around in 9th grade with a portable boombox blasting PE’s “Rebel Without a Pause” from “It Take a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back.” The record sounds as fresh, dance-y, and rebellious today as it did then. It’s hard to keep from busting out a few robot dance moves on the subway followed by an MC Hammer old skool run-in-place.

And speaking of Flava Flav….if you were looking for a good laugh I do hope you were able to catch the Comedy Central Roast of the PE hype man. I think I actually swallowed a cigarette from laughing so hard.
And I wouldn’t worry about you busting out any dance moves on the subway. You’ve done it in grocery stores, malls, food courts, restaurants, etc. Why should the subway be any different? Unless of course you were wearing the MC Hammer pants at the time.
