Chuck D: Self

Quotes 

• Chuck D : I protested the Grammys in 1989 because they refused to recognize rap music and hip hop as a legitimate musical category. I thought it was like admirable when she put the Public Enemy logo on her head. With Sinéad O'Connor you didn't get the sense that she was being pretentious, that she was fake. It was like, yeah, she's seriously has issues with this. This is what's going to drive her artistry. She's committed to that.

• Chuck D : I didn't think that the powers that be were ready for her. Where she's from, artists had always stepped forward and said things but maybe in different genres and not so much as a pop superstar. And Sinéad O'Connor, she was becoming a pop superstar.
