Fear Of A Black Planet

Description

An absolute legend of Hip Hop at its peak, Public Enemy literally took rap into another dimension. The album's writing was inspired by a controversy with former band member Professor Griff. At the time, the production team The Bomb Squad sought to develop and thicken the sound of their previous album, It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back. Instantly recognizable, Chuck D's powerful flow and his sidekick Flavor Flav's zany antics fed the beats of wizard Terminator X with consciousness and clear-sightedness. Active since the incomparable 'Yo! Bum rush the show' in 1987, the Long Island crew never gave up, let alone anything else. With the 1990 release of 'Fear of a Black Planet', the group definitively left an indelible mark on the history of global Hip Hop. From '911 is a joke' to 'Brothers gonna work it out' and 'Burn Hollywood Burn', on which Ice Cube and Big Daddy Kane lent a hand to Chuck D and Flavor Flav, everything in this opus was destined to mark the history of Rap.
