PUBLIC ENEMY – Notorious Rap Radicals Released Their Stroke Of Genius ‘FEAR OF A BLACK PLANET’ 35 Years Ago Today

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
