Elvis was a hero to most, but he never meant shit to me, that straight up racist sucker was simple and plain Mother f- him and John Wayne ... I'm ready, I'm hyped and I'm amped, most of my heroes don't appear on no stamp..." Absolutely love Fear of a Black Planet. Say what you want about Flavor, but Chuck D can do no wrong. This album occupied my TEAC walkman for months during my sophomore year of high school and still get back and listen to some of it even now. Welcome to the Terrordome is unmatched. Fight the Power and it's placement in Do the Right Thing helped shape my teen years. The instrumentals are great, I love the samples and scratches beats that go on forever. A lot of the samples were the first time I'd heard artists like The Temptations, James Brown, Sly & Family Stone... Terrordome lists 21 different sampled albums. You just can't do this anymore. Truly a different era. You just can do this anymore.
