Ep.10 - Public Enemy - Fear of a Black Planet

Category: Music

Description: Dylan had 'The Times They Are a-Changin'' and The Clash had 'London's Calling'. Public Enemy had this. How can a record with so much groove, and so irresistibly danceable be so packed with political vitriol delivered with such venom and bite? Not even ridiculously goofy hype man Flavooooor Flaaaaav and his questionable jester's shtick and wardrobe (one can only assume he was, at the very least, a punctual man) can de-fang Chuck D's incredibly confrontational rhymes and the Bomb Squad's unprecedented "everything including the kitchen sink" production chaos. We discuss these things and more this week, delving into the history as well as the often rocky road the band traveled both together and as individuals, strewn with controversy, drugs, reality TV and, yep, ostrich farming. Yeeeah boyyy!
