Back in 1988, Public Enemy recorded “Black Steel In The Hour of Chaos”, a hardcore rap about in which Chuck D narrates his incarceration which culminates in a dramatic prison riot. For the longest time, this was thought to be a fictional dramatization, but I recently came across this 100% authentic letter from The Government which is practically a verbatim outline for what Chuck is singing about in the video. CLICK HERE and see the video yourself, if you don’t believe me. I’m willing to sell this letter for 40 Jillion if anyone’s interested in owing a true piece of Hip Hop History.
