Album Notes & Community Reviews

Arriving amid the massive shift toward West Coast G-Funk, Public Enemy's fifth studio album defiantly maintains their chaotic, sample-heavy East Coast sound. Chuck D directs his notoriously dense and aggressive lyrical critique not just at systemic racism, but heavily towards the rising glorification of gang violence and misogyny within the hip-hop industry itself.
