    I forgot about that pic! Where did that originally appear anyway? I wonder if Chuck ever commented on "Guilty of Being White".

    true but if ice t had jello biafra on his record, u never know...then again ice t is crazy, i remeber when he hosted rap city in toronto and the guy played slayer! i was on the floor, that was hilarious...it was the first track of the show, he just did some intro like "i know yall want me to play some rap, but these are my n**" and be plays slayer reign in blood or something...nuts, sorry for going off tangent

    i think chuck d knew who they were. at least according to this feature on southern.com

    Stills in Fuck You Heroes of D.C.'s Junkyard Band and a Rahway State Prison lifer show Friedman's documentary skills translate equally well to deeper subjects.
    Friedman is in awe of the loudest loud young mouths of the last fifteen years. He respects their impact immensely, and he's committed to passing the inspiration around. When Chuck D. and Favor Flav were wee rap challengers defending Public Enemy's first album on late-nite MTV, they sported a pair of Minor Threat T-shirts Friedman had given them, impressed by the band's militancy and drugless lifestyle.[/b] The photographer also claims to have handed piles of hardcore records over to Ice-T years before Body Count, and pointed PE's Terminator X to the Suicidal Tendencies scratches that turned up on Yo! Bum Rush The Show.

    yeah, it sounds like Glenn E. Friedman gave them the shirts b/c he thought they had a similar vibe, not that PE were fans. i'll have to go dig out "Fuck You Heros", but i am fairly certain the caption for that photo in the book said that PE were in his studio for a photo shoot and there were some minor threat t-shirts there and they thought they looked cool (the image of the "black sheep" being a "minor threat"), not that they were fans of the band before seeing the shirts. You have to remember that in the early 80's, hardcore was a tiny niche market, selling 10,000 copies of a record was big time. before the internet and stuff, unless you were really involved in that subculture, you didn't know about it (tho maybe rick rubin, formerly of Hose and the Pricks, gave chuck some punk records???)

    ok i can see that. i have no problems with fabrications like this, it's still a dope photo even if they didn't know who minor threat were prior to friedman hooking them up with tees.

    I never could get into hardcore.


    Not sure if it was the no drugs thing, or the screaming.



    I had a good friend ed though who used to put on a ton of harcore shows in atlanta.

    It's a little cooler than KRS's shout out to Sick of It All on "Blood, Sweat and No Tears" and it's waaaaay cooler that KRS rapping on that R.E.M. joint.
