This album is such a mess with so much going on. The lyrics fight for your attention against the vicious backing tracks. It sounds magnificent. The message is more important than the music and wins out in the end, Elvis was a hero to most, but he never meant shit to me. Tell It Like It Is
Loved it at the time for the hardline stance, despite the slightly ill-informed lyrics in a few places (Meet The G, for example).. This perhaps doesn't sound as innovative given their previous efforts, but the cut-up nature of the tracks and selections here, and the balance of Flav's humour with Chuck D's more serious lyricism make for what musyt be one of PE's releases. Worth 5 stars for the title alone, but Can't Do Nuttin' for Ya Man still makes me chuckle every time. Timeless AND of it's time. A classic.
