Public Enemy: Can't Truss It

Loyal to their signature style, Public Enemy delivers an energetic rap song about systemic oppression and racial discrimination, both in the past and in modern America. The music video tells a powerful and dark story, primarily set during the era of American slavery, while frequently drawing parallels to similar forms of exploitation in today's corporate world. Although there is a touch of irony or dark humor, the overall message is far from lighthearted, emphasizing that these horrific injustices not only happened but continue to this day. As a 1991 release, the song is a strong example of old-school rap that still commands attention and sounds strikingly relevant.
