Anticipation: Chuck D Black Steel

Post by bsharp »

Chuck D has long been a hero of mine as founder and lead rapper of Public Enemy, as an outspoken social and political voice, as an activist, and now as co-vocalist of Prophets of Rage. I’m always looking for excuses to collaborate with Chuck and celebrate his influence on me and culture in general, so I was very happy to work with him and Janette Beckman, whose hip-hop and punk photography I’ve loved for years. With the 30 year anniversary of Public Enemy’s “It Takes A Nation of Millions To Hold Us Back” coming up on June 28, I decided one of Janette’s photos of Chuck from that time would be great for me to illustrate as a tribute to my favorite MC and my favorite hip-hop album of all time. If you don’t own Public Enemy’s “It Takes A Nation of Millions To Hold Us Back,” learn what music at the pinnacle of it’s sonic, political, and revolutionary potential can be. Proceeds from this print will go to Central Coast Alliance United for a Sustainable Economy (CAUSE). All prints signed by Shepard, Janette Beckman and Chuck D. Thanks for the inspiration Chuck!

Some quality stuff. I think I prefer the smaller to the larger because of the pop of color.

Will probably go for the red too.

I just noticed the Banksy he’s got in the background.

Agreed. While this is one of the nicest of the bunch, I don't need another one. Timing is also bad for me RN.

I think this will probably make it to an online drop and be easy to grab for those that want it, if the other two versions were any indication.
