Public Enemy (hip-hop, rap, rock, albums, Atmosphere)

yeah, they're awesome,
Fight the Power is my all time favorite by them.
It surprises me that It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back is always considered one of the best albums ever.
Personally, I think Fear of a Black Planet has a little bit better songs.

I prefer Fear Of A Black Planet over everything else.

Heh, actually I was trying to find the album with 'Can't Truss It,' because that song shreds me out of my seat, and found out it was on Apocalypse '91. I haven't been able to find this album, or any of their more recent albums, like the one with Son of a Bush. I thought they had disappeared, but recently found out they have been making an album every few years, and they still kick *ss. Does anyone else find it unusual that their releases are flying way below the radar recently?

Even It Takes A Nation had mediocre chart success, so not really. Their albums are easy to find online though.

I shall be seeing them live next month, doing the whole of It Takes a Nation. Should be good!

I think Pheurton is also going. I am more jealous than you can imagine.

What a gig, 2 hour set! Effing loud, i was stood by the speakers, but got to touch Flav when he climbed an amp.
The songs were great, my highlight maybe being Rebel Without a Pause. Could have done without the 5 minute speech at the end from Flav though :s

Yeah I caught them at Rock the Bells and they were jumpin all over the stage, acting like they were still in their twenties. And though the last album was so-so, they sounded hella tight! All their jams, old and new rocked live.

I saw them two nights ago, was absolutely stunning. Such energy and a great atmosphere, and Public Enemy were top class. Some guys near me lit up about 20 joints over the course of the show, they were generous enough to pass it round a lil' as well

Amazing gig, I left absolutely DRENCHED in sweat, and then went clubbing afterwards in the best mood i've been in for ages. Was a great night, I'll need to get some more Public Enemy albums!

God, I want to see P.E. live so bad. Chuck D. is my hero, seriously. By far my favorite rap group of all time.
