It Takes A Nation To Hold Us Back
(1987)
|
Well, I know what your thinking. Why is this
lame individual doing a freakin' review on an ancient rap group? The
reason is simple, because I need to give respect to a group, that
influenced a great number of rappers and rockers, who are now popular.
I remember reading a lame magazine, I believe it was Rolling Stones, which
is a cool name, but not a cool magazine. They did the best rappers of all time and they
left out Public Enemy. I couldn't believe it. Another thing I hate about
Rolling Stones Magazines is that they claim to be anit-establishment, But, they have crap loads of alcohol and smoking advertisements inside their magazine. Okay, I should stop being political, since people want to be educated and not have morals and ethics shoved down their throats.
It's just that I would love to burn every issue and every copy of the Rolling Stones
magazine ever made. Anyway, back to the review, this is probably one of the best rap albums and one of the best albums of all time. Public Enemy being a group, like Fat Sacs Inc., who contains a lead singer (Chuck D), a sidekick (Flavor Flav), a DJ (Terminator X) and a huge crew of writers and dancers. Public Enemy being one of the only real rap bands that doesn't sing about shooting people in the face and raping their girlfriends. This album contains the song, She Watches Channel Zero, which is a statement about how America, as well as other countries, watch way too much television: Trouble vision for a sisterThey mix rap with rock guitars (they were one of the originals who did this) and they use sound bites from television and public speeches, giving them an almost industrial sound. This group influenced Nine Inch Nails, Limp Bizkit, Most rap artist today, etc... So if you like real rap then this album is a must buy. I give it a 10/10 |
