Publie enemy are born ......

1987 ..... god damned buyed when out off courses

Avant garde in any direction 🧭

What time it is ?!
SkyeWilde Aug 2, 2022
I really liked this album and I was very surprised I hadn't heard of this group before. Taking a lot of inspiration from Run-DMC, but adding a nice spin with the rhythm and flow of each song gives this a unique flavor I think anybody who's a fan of 80s hip-hop will enjoy.

Nice to see DJ Johnny juice finally getting the credit he rightly deserves.

from Photograpger Glen E Friedman's Instagram 06 Feb 2016"
Their 'first album cover. One of my favorites. We made this photo in Hempstead, Long Island on a freezing cold night in '86 in the basement of their Spectrum City Studio
I made photo with direction by Chuck D, based on a sketch he made. Rick Rubin suggested we make it look as rough as possible. I used film we picked up in the local supermarket. Very often groups would have an idea or two or a title for me to work with, then together we would finalize an idea as i visualized it and thought to make it the best it could be
This image depicts the group surrounding the party's DJ and taking over - bum rushing the show, and all of Hip Hop at the time. Chuck also designed the original logo of the B-Boy in the cross hairs and the stencil type face for the name. Chuck studied graphic design in college. Working with them during this time, I knew they were going to be something special'...

That's the record what made hiphop interresting. A groundbreaker.

Does anyone know if any of the vinyl reissues have improved sound quality?
