Public Enemy - "A Letter to the New York Post"
While it could be rightly said that no Public Enemy song that hands over the verses to Flavor Flav is the best anything — "911 Is a Joke" aside — "A Letter to the New York Post" sees Flav and Chuck D at a place most New Yorkers have been at some point: entirely fed up and exhausted by the New York Fuckin' Post. And though Flav's lyrics can make you wince (at one point he rhymes "James Cagney" with "fagney" — c'mon, guy), the overarching sentiment of the song is one that rings true for every New Yorker whose morning ritual includes gawking at the paper's needlessly mean headlines on newsstands every day: that, as Mr. Chuck elegantly puts it, the New York Post is "America's oldest continuously published daily piece of bullshit."
