he is possibly one of the greatest hype-men ever. he can't rap or do anything useful, but he can pump up the crowd like no one else.

Public enemy was big back in the golden era of hip hop. Krs-one, run-dmc, the greatest story teller, Slick Rick, Too Short, MC Lyte, etc. Great Music, he is well respect in the hip hop community. He was more of a hype man for Chuck D, which together made them Public Enemy. Think what Diddy is to B.I.G. on his tracks. Then You got it!

He is famous because of Public Enemy and Chuck D. Simple as that really.

you are all wrong! he is famous because people like the fact that they can turn on their tv and personally see the link between humans and apes.
