Chuck D and Flavor Flav have essentially been on hiatus since Flav filed a lawsuit against his Public Enemy counterpart and former Bomb Squad producer Gary “G-Wiz” Rinaldo in September 2017. Aside from a brief reunion at Terminator X’s recent wedding, Public Enemy hasn’t performed any shows.
But that’s not slowing the P.E. machine down. According to an Instagram post from DJ Lord, Public Enemy, De La Soul and Wu-Tang Clan will join forces for the Gods Of Rap tour alongside DJ Premier. Flav, however, will not be involved.
“’Consider Yourselves Warned,” the Public Enemy DJ captioned a video announcement. “Hip Hop Gods @wearedelasoul @publicenemyftp @wutangclan & @djpremier hit the UK together for the #GodsOfRap tour this May.”
For now, the Gods Of Rap Tour is only scheduled for three dates in the U.K. The brief run kicks off on May 10 at London’s SSE Arena Wembley, hits Manchester Arena on May 11 and wraps up on May 12 at the SSE Hydro in Glasgow.
Tickets go on general sale at 10 a.m. PT next Friday (January 25) here.
Where’s Professor Griff?
Oh damn i there he is!!
It doesn’t get any better than this. Hip Hop Is The Building. F@ck The Radio. It’s Dead! The Wu Tang Saga Continues.
PLEASE COME TO ATLANTA
Sounds like they are going the way every other genre of black music eventually goes…….to Europe and the UK. I doubt if they do any shows in America.
If anything we get far less opportunities to see live hip-hop in Scotland but we do get some of the golden era acts as they have had support from here since the 90s. They sometimes tour here as a warm up before the states.
Lol….old head music. I bet my gramps will be going to the show lmao
U kids listen to the dumbest shit ever. No rap act today will ever last this long. The Radio Is Dead!
Actually… All three had records that rocked the clubs.
It was a different time, more variety in the music, more sophisticated audience.
They all had club hits
They all had club hits. But unlike most of these newschool chumps club hits weren’t all they had.
You don’t think C.R.E.A.M. or Ice Cream bang in the club?? Go fall asleep to your mumbles and I’ll fix you some warm milk and Similac.
Rappers today suck d!ck to be on the radio. They don’t have any skills. Once the radio drops them, your corny ass rappers are DEAD. If drake, lil wayne and others didn’t get played on the radio nobody would listen to them because their horrible. Your so called rappers are SLAVES for the corporations. Young kids have no idea what is good music. The corporations force sh!t down your throats. HOW DOES IT TASTE YOUNG BUCK?
Those comments above r for g.w.a. G.W.A.= Ghost Writer Assholes.
Is this how you measure quality music? By the hits a group makes? You sound way too dumb to understand what ”quality” means, so I won’t waste my time giving you a definition. And for the record, all of the above-mentioned groups had record hits, although their target group has never been the radio.
lyrical rappers need to be heard in the club?? is that what u mean ? pls if ur 18-20yrs get the fuck outta here
respect the legends and go listen to ur mumble shit
Much love an respect to the O.Gs!!… hope they bring the tour home.. Peace on the Internets y’all
It’s a shame they have to go to other countries to tour. I would definitely go see this.
This was supposed to be a reply to the silly kid “I know it hurts…but”, but for some reason got posted in the wrong place.
I’ll be there. Glasgow Hydro here we come.
