Simply the most important album ever made. There will never be another; all are on fire but Chuck especially, who flows, twists and turns around the beats; typical structures are decimated, new ideas generated at breakneck pace. Incredible -

For me this is an epitome of rap. Conscious and powerful. The production by Bomb Squad is unparalleled and, due to sampling restrictions that were introduced a couple of years after, will probably remain so in the future. Layer upon layer of samples create a soundscape of sonic concrete upon which the voice of Chuck D towers vigorously.
However, I'd really love to hear a carefully remastered edition, which wouldn't have to be much louder, but just punchier. -
Edited 19 years agoI was shocked to find that no one has left a comment on this tremendous record! Brilliant production, stunning social commentary, the comic balance of Flava Flav to Chuck D's stinging flow = unbridled brilliance. I can't think of a record that has been sampled more, especially by the old school hard-core and rave productions circa 90'-93'and rightfully so. While many find "Nations" to be PE's finest hour, I believe this record tops that. Cheers to Chuck D, Flav, Professor Griff and the whole Shocklee Bomb Squad team for making such a great and groundbreaking record.
