The legendary hip-hop group Public Enemy's 2005 reemergence updates their sound for the 21st century courtesy Paris's raw production, but their confrontational, hardcore message remains the same as it was in the days of IT TAKES A NATION OF MILLIONS. Aided by appearances from guests like Dead Prez, Sister Souljah, and NWA's MC Ren, cuts like "Plastic Nation," which skewers contemporary superficiality in the face of monstrous social injustice, reaffirm the group's commitment to thought-provoking music.

Uncut (p.94) - 3 stars out of 5 - "[T]he old blast furnace of focused fury still rages hard."

In the late 1980s, Public Enemy connected the dots between politics, soul music, hard rock, marketing, turntablism, and rhyme, and turned hip-hop into an urban global youth movement. PE's pioneering albums are heralded as avant-garde artworks whose disparate sample sources combine into a gloriously chaotic mosaic of polyphony and African-American unrest. Powered by Chuck D.'s political fury, enlivened by Flavor Flav's antics, and made controversial by Professor Griff's ethnocentrism, Public Enemy influenced virtually every rapper who followed in their wake.
