Vinyl Me Please Rap & Hip Hop

Any preference on a Public Enemy AOTM whenever one comes around. All good of course and a 2 LP 45RPM version of either Fear Of A Black Planet or It Takes A Nation would be perfect (and probably hit Essentials) but I would like a copy of There’s A Poison Goin’ On. That album never got the love it should have in my book

Awesome cover. Good tunes. They were being passed over by the media in that period but I think and are still a force live. I gave a friend a copy of To Pimp A Butterfly and asked him what he thought of it. His response was ‘It’s good but would be better if Flavour Flav came on to throw his bit in every now and then.’

Now OBVIOUSLY I don’t think that myself BUT the balance of Chuck and Flavor was unmatched and those P.E. albums would not be as effective with him interrupting Chuck’s cerebral diatribes with his raps about crisps and ‘Yeeeeaaah booooiii’ catchphrases. He was definitely the spoonful of sugar that helped the medicine go down.

There was also the visual spectacle of the S1Ws who I always thought were far more camp than menacing.

I saw them on an anniversary tour for Fear Of A Black Planet....they did the whole album....played for 3 hours.....best rap show i ever been too.
 
I've been hoping for a proper deluxe Public Enemy VMP reissue for two years now. It's a huge hole in my collection and it would be sick if they did something for the anniversary of that album. I've actually been holding off buying anything of theirs just to see if VMP comes out with something. Although I feel like Fear Of A Black Planet or It Takes A Nation would be in the Essentials track if they were able to get either of them.... But here's hoping. As far as I can tell most of the reissues of these are fine but nothing special...
 
the craziest part of the concert for me was when it started they played that intro....When Gandhi starts talking "there is something changing in the conciousness on this planet today" ....everyone in the pit is yelling the words and im like woah we all quoting gandhi....GAVE ME CHILLS MAAAAAAN :)

I have all those now. I havent spun warfare much, I need to change that. Latifah I kinda got on a whim, I had watched a hiphop thing on Netflix where they spoke about that and went for it. I was not disappointed, sounds and looks incredible. I spin that alot now

My favourite PE album has always been Apocalypse 91. Picked up a reissue on green vinyl a few months ago and it sounds pretty good. The reissue I have of It takes a Nation on the other hand is pretty good, a lot of surface noise
