Significant albums from yesteryear
10 April 2025
This day 35 years ago, on 10 April 1990, iconoclastic rap radicals
PUBLIC ENEMY released their 3rd longplayer with the sharp-teethed,
stroke of genius named FEAR A BLACK PLANET
NME wrote: ” ‘Fear Of A Black Planet’ stands as a masterpiece of righteous anger
and furious energy. The Bomb Squad’s ability to create order from a white noise chaos
of sampled loops, stolen riffs and radio chatter foreshadowed the coming technological overload of the 21st Century… The album is hip-hop at it’s most musically ambitious.”
TUTV: Best razor-blade rap punks ever. Hands down.
SINGLES: 911 Is A Joke / Welcome To The Terrordome
