Review by Alain_Patrick Aug 24, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)
The Cutting-Edge band Public Enemy broke several parameters on the Hip Hop culture bringing the a melting pot of engaged RAP lyrics, a heavy Funk base, with the elements of the so-called Free-Jazz and even of the Musique Concrète (whose essence lies on the fragments of the natural sounds). Fierce, dense, sometimes sarcastic or even relying on a more serious point of view, Public Enemy, composed by the producers Professor Griff and Terminator X and the MCs Chuck D and Flavor Flav set trends with their two albums "It Take A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back" (1988) and "Fear Of A Black Planet" (1990), literally conquering the dancefloors all over the World with several massive hits - which made them one of the most sampled crews of all time.
