Hip-hop pioneer Chuck D, the legendary lyricist and founder of Public Enemy, discusses the innovative creation of his new Audible Original 'Words + Music' production, 'Songs that Shook the Planet.' Part history lesson and part memoir, the show reintroduces listeners to indelible songs from artists who literally put their lives on the line to speak truth to power and provides a soundtrack of civil uprising that is perhaps even more powerful and relevant today. Moderated by Audible Producer Britt McCombs, this conversation dives into the making of the production, the unique power of lyrics and audio to excite and inspire, and the transformative nature of Words + Music in storytelling.
