Legendary Public Enemy front man Chuck D who is currently performing in South Africa took to Twitter several hours ago and got some things off his chest.
The fakeness of black celebrity is this. They are a sliver away from the poverty and drama of their own family.It's not the blue blood elite

— Chuck D (@MrChuckD) December 5, 2010
Be accountable to the people and stop making young people feel inferior. They have the artists afraid by threatening to cut off their money
— Chuck D (@MrChuckD) December 5, 2010
Radio DJs say zero for the people thus they are responsible for the condition. If you 40 talking to 20 year olds, your old asses should say.
— Chuck D (@MrChuckD) December 5, 2010
Something young heads can feel good about. If a so called celebrity is only looking for money from the people without even giving real talk
— Chuck D (@MrChuckD) December 5, 2010
Hot 97 broadcasts to millions but no one knows where the DJs live If somebody knocks on their home with that BS they the first to call cops

I say all this tonight because a potential image and cultural poison has been planted inAfrica to create Amerfrica the nerve of businessmen
— Chuck D (@MrChuckD) December 5, 2010
I speak when I recognize crucial turning points.Africa can be the center of the hip hop planet on it's own terms it can't be steered from NY

I waited to be 50 so I could brag about it. And witnessing the mass debris of artists the past 20 years who now know that their word is bond

Even if we talk Rick Ross or Nicki Minaj their obligation is to somehow give sometime not TAKE, and realize how to be around more than a min
— Chuck D (@MrChuckD) December 5, 2010
But your word sometimes must help and inspire. So I damn their exploiters who wait for their piece inthe back. LA Reid probably can't walk

I love this man. Don’t ever change Chuck.
MAD NEWS UK 
Love This!
He went IN! Only problem is the people who need to heed this won’t understand what he’s talking about.
Always loved Chuck D. Someone described him as having an extremely powerful mind and they were right. Good to see that he is still as sharp as a knife. Back in the day Hip Hop was embedded with lyrical educators such as KRS One, Stetsasonic and A Tribe Called Quest and now we just have a bunch of ignorant, money loving and fame hungry fools running around talking bullshit. There are a few gems like Mos Def and Nas but they are few and far between. It is really sad!!
Speak the Truth man! Speak the Truth!
What i have always loved about Chuck D is that he speaks the truth. He’s never been afraid to say what he feels. It is too bad that so many of our people won’t do the same. You know if you think about it….slavery is suppose to be over…But we are still slaves and we don’t even know it. Some Black people will do anything for the almighty dollar!!! And some Black people will fall for anything…sad! Chuck D has always said what he feels….i respect a man like this very much.
@OndoLady You said a mouthful right there sister!!! Love me some Chuck D!!!
ohhh lawd.. now thats how i need to start my day!!
