New album, Loud Is Not Enough, was released April 1, 2020 under the name Enemy Radio, not Public Enemy Radio as earlier promos had stated it would be. This seems to imply it was changed due to Flavor Flav's lawsuit over Chuck D's use of the "Public Enemy" name for this project. However, as with Flav's status there isn't anything definitive in the music press just speculation. -- WarEqualsPeace ( talk) 15:02, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC criteria -- JHunterJ ( talk) 12:26, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
– This seems like the main subject for "Public Enemy" (capital P, capital E, with no article). We have three articles with that name: a 2002 Korean film, a Belgian TV series, and this article. Other items in the disambiguation page are lowercase, "The" Public Enemy, plural, or about subjects we don't have articles about. Both the movie and the TV show are English translations, but even if they weren't, this still seems like the main subject. As per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, the usage is much more likely (it gets about 37x as many pageviews as either of the others) and it has long-term significance being widely considered immensely influential/important in hip hop, American music, 20th century music, etc. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 01:10, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
Opening says the group consists Chuck D and DJ Lord but the member list has their musical director as well. I noticed this comment on the member page "Unless it is officially confirmed by Public Enemy themselves, or Flavor Flav himself, whether or not he is still a member of the group, DO NOT re-add him from past members to current members. Additionally, Khari Wynn is still officially the current music director, DO NOT delete him" It is my understanding that Flavor Flav is still a member as he is all over the new album, and that the musical director does not count as a member. Griff still performs with the group sometimes and is listed as a member on their facebook(as well as Flavor) so not sure how to handle that, but he didn't leave shortly after he rejoined like it says. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.213.85.122 ( talk) 15:03, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
I’ve seen some articles that at least did their best to get in-depth with it. We don’t have to do it now. But, it could definitely be a suggestion. 76.174.128.213 ( talk) 22:46, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
