referencing Can't Do Nuttin' For Ya Man, 12", 44-73612

This is my favorite Public Enemy record. I know all the hip hop headz will consider this to be blasphemy, because it's completely missing both a political message of any sort AND Chuck D himself. Basically this is just Flava going off on people, and it's pretty fantastic (albeit in a much sillier / stupider tone than any other Public Enemy release). To illustrate the point:
"Fight the Power" = Do the Right Thing soundtrack,
"I Can't Do Nuttin' For Ya Man" = House Party soundtrack.
