Reviews & Discussion
Public Enemy were a political group from the word go. Whether you are like-minded or not, this album is worth an ear. Production far superior to that of their previous release. Studio tracks interspersed by snippets of live shows, news reports. Bring the Noise was a good show-opener, but it's not the best track here. Don't Believe the Hype is a swipe at the band's bad press. Other topics tackled are prison, drugs, copyright law and black rights in general. Prophets of Rage and Party for Your Right to Fight are great vehicles for the scratching/mixing talents of Terminator X. No hard-core rap fan's collection is complete without this particular P.E. record.
