Performer: Public Enemy
Distributor: Fontana Distribution Notes: Public Enemy: DJ Lord, Flavor Flav, Professor Griff, Chuck D. The seminal hip-hop protest group puts their legendary stage-show energy on display on the concert album FIGHT THE POWER: GREATEST HITS LIVE! Recorded at the Metro in Melbourne, Australia in 2004, the live CD sees Chuck D and Flavor Flav tearing through favorites such as "Welcome to the Terrordome," "Bring the Noise," and "911 is a Joke," among other definitive PE statements.
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.
