Everybody already knows this, but this rap album by Public Enemy is one of the greatest of planet Earth. Serious, political, and highly charged lyrics mixed with drum and brass licks that sound more like sirens in a war zone, this album is totally unlike any rap album that has been released in the past decade or so. Remember when rap was political, about change and revolution, and white news pundits everywhere were scared and talked about it destroying our culture? Well, instead rap became about why capitalism is great, Flavor Flav became star of a minstrel show, and Chuck D just looks so damned tired. On the other hand, the failure of the revolution doesn't negate the greatness of this album, so give it a listen and just use your imagination why don't you.RATING: 91%
