I remember this being talked about at the height of Public Enemy's popularity.
They were huge & their style of hip-hop was starting to have positive cultural change in black America.
Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked.
There was a sudden switch from that to gangsta rap - NWA, Tupac, Biggie - which got massive amounts of airtime, promotion & money, while Public Enemy went down in flames battling accusations of ... wait for it .. anti-semitism.
