Hopefully, this tour makes its way to the United States because this would be so cool to witness live. It's been a while since Public Enemy has done shows together after Flavor Flav filed a lawsuit against Chuck D but it appears as though the band is getting back together. Despite them only reuniting for three tour dates, the Gods of Rap tour offers a unique opportunity for old school fans in the United Kingdom to check out some of the most legendary acts in hip-hop history.
As reported by Hip Hop DX, Public Enemy will be reuniting to tour alongside Wu-Tang Clan, De La Soul and DJ Premier. In what will surely be three insane shows, the historic acts look set to take on London, Manchester, and Glasgow in May. The news was announced by Flav and Chuck D's DJ Lord, who wrote, "'Consider Yourselves Warned'✌🏾 👑Hip Hop Gods @wearedelasoul @publicenemyftp @wutangclan & @djpremier hit the UK together for the #GodsOfRap tour this May."
Right now, the U.K. dates are the only ones that have been announced. It's unclear if they plan to bring the tour to North America but it would clearly be welcome, if so. Tickets go on sale next week. Are you booking a flight to the U.K?
