PUBLIC ENEMY QUIT TOURING
When Public Enemy headlined the Phoenix Festival Chuck D announced that Public Enemy have retired from live performance, though they may continue to make records and videos. Chuck D has been very critical of their label Def Jam; "I call Def Jam the House of Scam. They’re a blemish on my careeer, if they dropped me it would be a dream.” A statement from Chuck D via the UK record company says: “Public Enemy is like a Lambourghini on a mud road. Now it’s time to build the highway on the much exploited circus of hip-hop and move onto a higher level.” It appears that Chuck wants Public Enemy to make way for new acts. He plans to start his own record label and to sign new artists.
