Public Enemy - It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back - Red Color Vinyl Record
Regularly named the greatest hip-hop album ever made, Public Enemy's 1988 masterpiece It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back still sounds like a broadcast from the future. Chuck D's commanding voice and Flavor Flav's wild-card energy ride over the Bomb Squad's dense, chaotic production, a collage of sirens, horn stabs, funk breaks and noise that changed what a rap record could be.
"Bring the Noise" and "Don't Believe the Hype" take aim at critics and the media, "Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos" is a gripping prison-break narrative, and "Night of the Living Baseheads" and "Rebel Without a Pause" hit with relentless force. Terminator X's turntable work cuts through it all. The politics are as sharp now as they were on release.
This Def Jam reissue presents the album on solid red vinyl, faithful to the original 1988 running order. An essential record for any hip-hop collection.
