This week on The Library, Chuck D. joins Tim to talk about Public Enemy's newest album, Man Plans God Laughs." What's the mission of the album? The rhyme animal Chuck D tells Tim:

"I think the mission of the album is not to just present a record, I mean there are a trillion records out there; there's also a past and a catalog and a history that Public Enemy has done but there's some significance in this releasing of this particular record. The state and time is totally different. You're talking about a group that was inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame two years ago, so this is the first of its kind. What record has come out from a Hip Hop group that actually was already inducted? For the first three inductions, it hasn't happened but Public Enemy has been going on for 28 straight years. Unfortunately we knew that the Beastie Boys would have been able to do it, we want more from Run – DMC and we would love for Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five to come together and do something but I guess we're it. So, here it is. I think being at the age of 55 this summer and Flav 56, we're in rarefied air and there's really no expectations from somebody who I guess has been this high up in age doing something that is contemporary."
