Comments for Public Enemy, Fear Of A Black Planet

Relentless, inventive, awesome. A landmark album.

Rap sucks. This album has NO great melodies. Actually it has no melodies at all. What a disastrous groups!

Next to the album that preceeded it. This could be one of the greatest Hip-Hop albulms of all time!

This was extremely inventive, and the trademark overloaded buzz-n-beats sound is being heard everywhere today. The album as a whole is not even, but the outstanding tracks such as "Terrordome", "VBrothers Gonna Work It Out", "Revolutionary Generation" have a stupendous sound to them. My favorite track is "Fear of a Black Planet" - it could have been done better (the voice is a bit out of tune) but the conception is brilliant - greatest rap lyric I've ever heard. I'm not a fan of these sexist racists with fascist tendancies anymore, but give P.E. their due - in the late 80's they were one of the most interesting things going on musically. This was their most adventurous album.

ThIs Is THe GREAT ALbUm ! HErE IS THE BEsT RAP SONG OF THE ALL TIME : 1. fear of the black planet 2. fight the power ThE RAP SAGA continious ..!

To the moron who said they don't have melodies. That's the whole point. On the landmark PE albums Nation of Millions and Fear of a Black Planet the sirens and excessive and occasionally mysterious unrythmic beats are there to create an atmosphere of anxiety and confusion. I had to listen to those two albums about 15 times before I really started to like them and understand how brilliant those albums are. Too bad they're a happy sell-out pop band now.

FEAR OF A BLACK PLANET is one of the greatest albums recorded, period. It was one of the original concept albums in hip hop and it took the medium to new levels. Anyone working in rapp music today owes PE-there are very few new sounds coming out. And whoever said that they are pop sellout artists is totally lost. Try to find a group out there that would let Professor Griff spit poetics at the end of an album.

screw all...this is THE album of all pe albums, bite off on that it''s power music that racks the emotions and wraps our minds in the belief that public enemy is going to take over the world--they might actually have with this album

Best known for the final track, "Fight The Power", which wasthe main song in Spike Lee`s movie, "Do The Right Thing".
