Whoa... I haven't listened to this in maybe 30 years, and I can honestly say that even then I never really paid much attention. This album slaps! Lots of groups sample Public Enemy, but the samples really don't do these songs justice. The composition and flow as a whole is really great.
I hate saying it, but Public Enemy’s albums don’t totally hold up. They’re more of a singles band with a couple of great album tracks (although that tends to be the case with a lot of rap albums imo…). Still, nothing here is BAD. there’s very little of the misogyny or homophobia that plagues a lot of rap albums from the time, and the crew is generally pretty entertaining. And the songs that land are all-timers. B+, which sounds low for such an important album, but is the right score.
