    We Need a New Revolution

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 15, 2001 | 1 out of 1 found this It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back review helpful

    In this current era of "Work-Dat-Booty-An-Lemme-
    See-Dat-Thong" rap, and the people that have the nerve to call themselves "hip-hop artists" that don't embrace the evolution of the genre, I go back to this landmark PE album. Lately, I've been re-play...ing the jams that I remember from my turntable as a teenager in Brooklyn (PE, EPMD, Afrika Bambaata, Run DMC, Tribe Called Quest, Eric B. & Rakim, Black Sheep, De La Soul, Jungle Bros., etc.), hoping that someone will take what's been going on in our world over the past 10 years (i.e., September 11, 2001) and "put it on wax". Luckily, we've got hip-hop conscious R&B artists out there, and innovators like Black Eyed Peas and the Roots to keep it all real. P.S. Today's Top Selling Hip Hop Artists are: Jay-Z, Nelly, Ja Rule, Lil' Kim???....it's all wack, so DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE! Yeeeaaaah boyeeeee!!!! Read more Less

    Wow, Rap has gone down hill since this.

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jan 12, 2002

    BY FAR - The Best Rap Album of all Time. This album still stands strong today as a testiment to youth angst and black american society. Every song on this album has hardcore lyrics that make a song that maybe musically wasn't all that amazing, sound ...so much better. Its true that the beats on this album arent that impressive but that isn't the point of the songs, its the pollitical background and the lyrics. This album is awesome, and always will be. Rap these days just cannot stand up to this album. Read more Less

    The album that defined the 80s...

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 24, 2001

    ... and not just as far as hip-hop was concerned. It redefined music, and was the first album to show me that rap could be as powerful form of music as any. As far as in-your-face confrontational lyrics go, few (if any) do it better than Chuck D, and... Flavor Flav's clowning is hilarious, providing the perfect compliment. And let us not forget the Bomb Squad's unrivaled production, giving Public Enemy its definitive sound.A ground breaking masterpiece, and a landmark of musical evolution. Buy this if you are even remotely serious about music. Read more Less
