Now this is some great stuff right here. This past weekend The Roots held their 2nd annual festival (The Roots Picnic) at Festival Pier in Philly. I was supposed to make the trip, but that never happened. Anyways… Public Enemy performed It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back in its entirety; backed by The Roots and brooklyn-based afrobeat legeneds, Antibalas. AllTheWayLive was courteous enough to provide some audio of the show. And you can also hit the jump for a couple video clips.

After 5 years of absence from Germany, Public Enemy hit the German concert stages last December. So we sat around with Chuck D and talked about the music industry, Public Enemys successors, his father-role and upcoming projects. And even Flavor Flav had a short cameo…

While Barack Obama was delivering his historic acceptance speech, Chuck D & Flavor Flav rocked the Denver crowd to the sounds of Fight the Power. Flav has some choice words for Bush & McCain. Shouts to SirmacTV for the footage!
