	Professor Griff - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Richard "Professor Griff" Griffin (born 1 August 1960) is an American rapper and is a member of the music group Public Enemy and head of the S1W.
		By 1998, Griff had formally re-joined the band, performing on "Game Over" on the He Got Game LP and he went on tour with Public Enemy for the House of Blues/Smokin’ Grooves tour, which was a kind of hip-hop-centered Lollapalooza.
		Griff was accused of anti-Semitism in 1989, when Public Enemy enjoyed unprecedented mainstream attention with their "Fight the Power" single from Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing movie and soundtrack.

		At the time of the D.C. interview, Professor Griff held the post of "minister of information" for the wildly popular rap group Public Enemy, formed in the mid-Eighties by current leader Chuck D and two college classmates in Long Island.
		Griff wasn't so much a performer with the outfit at the time of the Mills interview as he was a behind-the-scenes contributor, and as "minister of information" he had gained a reputation as Public Enemy's designated spokesman.
		It was Griff who, in the formative days of Public Enemy, taught S1W members about martial arts and religious philosophy, much of the latter drawn from the ideology of Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam.

	Robert Christgau: The Shit Storm: Public Enemy
		The wording was roundabout, never quite specifying whether Griff was dismissed for his stated ideas or his failings as a "diplomat." But the tone was thoughtful, informed, humane, and a little mad--in short, a rock critic's dream.
		The hot rumor was that Griff had been kicked out of PE altogether, and at around 11:15 in a modest conference room at Manhattan's Sheraton Centre that rumor came true, or so it seemed.
		Professor Griff's responsibility as Minister of Information for Public Enemy was to faithfully transmit those values--to everybody.

		GRIFF: That’s true to a certain degree, but then again it’s false to a certain degree simply because the only reason why you know that is through a medium known as television, DVD and video that you see.
