Public Enemy - It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back

Public Enemy – It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back

The title says it all. In 1988, when this album was released, Public Enemy’s music cut with a wholly revolutionary edge. Rarely has fear, anger, paranoia and anxiety been so masterfully compressed onto a record’s grooves. The Bomb Squad’s production is the keynote to the hard, lean delivery, while Chuck D’s supremely pointed lyrics leave no stone of the Black experience unturned.

It is not comfortable listening — but on tracks like Don’t Believe the Hype, Night of the Living Baseheads and Rebel Without a Pause, the listener is left in no doubt that they are facing a fantastically potent force.
