After a Jeopardy contestant confused Public Enemy with The Funky Bunch on a recent episode, PE frontman Chuck D has responded.
Chuck D of Public Enemy is playing it cool after a recent game show slip-up. Long-running series Jeopardy might be down with hip-hop culture, but not all contestants are familiar with the genre that turns 50 next August. During a recent episode of Jeopardy, contestant Halley Ryherd was given a clue from temporary host Mayim Bialik from the category titled “Chuck D, Times 3.”
“In the 1990’s Chuck D began fighting the power in this hip-hop group with Flavor Flav, a man who always knew what time it was,” the question read.
The answer might have been obvious to hip-hop heads, but not to Ryherd who answered “The Funky Bunch.”
Everybody don’t know everything… it’s why I introduce myself wherever I go and whoever I talk to … it’s just courtesy. But the sad thing is not knowing those other Chuck Ds pic.twitter.com/gxLnyVmxCp
