Apocalypse 91… The Enemy Strikes Black
Public Enemy
I can see how this is a seminal album in the hip hop genre, but its not my favorite. There is a style of hip hop just after this in the later 90's that I like more. The beats are simpler and more jazz influenced and the rap has a little more rhythm. Shut em down was my favorite on the album.
3.5 / 5

I enjoyed this a lot more than I was expecting. Some of the songs on this album are so smooth and infectious. The songs People Everyday, Natural, and Washed Away really stuck out to me.
That said, some other songs don't hold up to father time. Thinking of Children Play With Earth thru Give A Man A Fish.
