It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back — 1988
Public Enemy
A dense, furious wall of sound from the Bomb Squad behind Chuck D's righteous fury and Flavor Flav's chaos. Politically explosive and sonically revolutionary. One of rap's most important records. The highest-ranked Public Enemy album in the collection.
On vinyl: Second-hand copies circulate widely; a clean original can be better value than a new repress.
