  • "By the Time I Get to Arizona" is a song by American hip hop group Public Enemy from their 1991 album Apocalypse 91... The Enemy Strikes Black. The song was written by frontman Chuck D in protest of the state of Arizona, where governor Evan Mecham had canceled Martin Luther King Jr. Day and the people voted against its reintroduction. It was released as a B-side to the single "Shut 'Em Down" in January 1992, but had its own music video. The video was controversial for its depiction of black paramilitaries assassinating Arizona politicians in revenge for King, who was non-violent. Some black activists and King's widow Coretta Scott King condemned the themes of the video. Chuck D and Public Enemy's spokesman Harry Allen defended the video as a fictional revenge for King's assassination. (en)
  • By the Time I Get to Arizona è un brano musicale del gruppo hip hop statunitense Public Enemy, facente parte del loro quarto album, Apocalypse 91... The Enemy Strikes Black del 1991. Il pezzo fu scritto dal frontman Chuck D come forma di protesta contro lo Stato dell'Arizona, dove nel 1987 il governatore Evan Mecham aveva cancellato la festività del Martin Luther King Day e la popolazione aveva votato contro la sua reintroduzione. La canzone fu pubblicata come B-side del singolo nel gennaio 1992, ma ebbe un proprio video musicale. Il videoclip suscitò polemiche per la sua rappresentazione dell'assassinio di politici bianchi da parte di un'organizzazione paramilitare di afroamericani come forma di vendetta per l'omicidio di Martin Luther King, che era un non violento. Alcuni attivisti neri e la vedova di King, Coretta Scott King, condannarono il messaggio di violenza del video. Chuck D e il portavoce dei Public Enemy difesero il videoclip come una sorta di "vendetta fittizia" per l'assassinio di King. (it)
