Public Enemy rapper Chuck D speaks on the Bob Vylan controversy, the US president, “fight for peace and love by any means necessary” and more in an exclusive interview with The Telegraph.
Sarfraz Manzoor asked Chuck D about Bob Vylan‘s “Death, Death to the IDF” chant and the Hip-Hop pioneer said “When people say death to a country, they’re not saying death to a people, they’re saying death to imperialism, death to colonialism. Bob Vylan ain’t got no tanks. They’re using words to say something must end. You can’t really kill nobody with a guitar or a microphone, but you could kill somebody with a drone and a f***ing tank. We have to be able to fight for peace and love by any means necessary.”.
Chuck D also spoke on his distaste for President Donald Trump: “I won’t even say his name, We call him 47, 45. We don’t even believe he believes half of the things he even says, but the problem is you don’t know whether he’s putting on an incredible acting job or not. He’s a showman – he’s an incredible showman. He is an entertainer.”
Chuck D then went on to talk about his worries regarding Artificial Intelligence as he said “AI is not designed to get dumber. The hope is that we can figure out how to manage ourselves in the dance with these technologies, instead of being intimidated by it. The whole key in technology is to understand how much we can manage it before it masters you.”
