Now, this is very exciting. I've managed to get my hands on the original letter sent by the US Army to Chuck D, which inspired Public Enemy's light-hearted, 1988 pop ditty (it was either Bomb Squad or Stock Aitken & Waterman production - I can't remember) Black Steel in the hour of chaos.
It cost me $400 on ebay, but it was money well spent in order to own such a classic document and precious piece of hip hop history. Look out for more 'Exhibits' in the coming weeks.

Now watch the video of the track the letter inspired.
