Once again, Public Enemy is fighting the power. This time, the subject of the pioneering, politically-minded rap group's ire is a little network called MTV.
The Chuck D-led hip-hop icons have had their latest rap, "Gotta Give the Peeps What They Need," banned by the music channel because of a lyric deemed too political by the suits at MTV, the Los Angeles Times reports.
As is standard procedure with MTV, PE submitted the clip for review earlier this summer. However, the network's standards division balked at airing the track--the first single off the recently released Revolverlution--because it contained the phrase "free Mumia." Full: http://tinyurl.com/1jy6
