Hank Shocklee wrote:That's what Public Enemy was all about. It was never a hip hop group, so to speak. We thought of it like a rock and roll band. Just one that lived in the hip hop world. In order to do that, everything had to be tactical. I learned a lot from when I used to manage a heavy metal record store [laughs]. Yeah! I was very interested in a lot of groups like Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Dead Kennedys, Black Flag. Bands like that, everything they did was conceptual.

Shocklee was a great talking head in that docu Copyright Criminals if anyone remembers that? Good little show that goes into the sampling philosophy from a few different angles.
