Music reviews of Power to the People and the Beats: Public Enemy's Greatest Hits
Music Review: The real rap rebels
Rating: 4 Stars
I got this for my cousin who listens to hip hop or whatever they call it now. I grew out of rap, but I wanted her to hear what I used to. These guys actually had something to say, and it wasn't always pretty.Now it's all about glamor and shock value. Rap was just plain better before it went double mainstream.
Description of Power to the People and the Beats: Public Enemy's Greatest Hits
Public Enemy is not the kind of group that does compromise--either you own It Takes A Nation of Millions To Hold Us Back and its explosive follow-up Fear of a Black Planet in their entirety or you simply hate music. So use this all-too-brief primer merely as a map to find your way to the albums that actually shook the world, mixing blunt politics with hard-hitting beats and Chuck D's prophet-like zeal for affecting change. If nothing else, tracks like "Bring The Noise" and "Fight The Power" serve as timely reminders of how much power hip-hop can wield when not tripped up in name-calling and bitch-slapping (D famously dubbed the genre "CNN for black people"), while on "911 is a Joke" Flava Flav proves there's a fine-line between laughter and tears. --Aidin VaziriGeneral CDs
