1990 Public Enemy released their 3rd album, "Fear of a Black Planet" which had 20 songs. People might argue this but in my opinion, it's the hip hop equivalent to the Beatles, Sgt. Pepper album. Both albums musical production is well done and different for it's time. Each song varies from the next making every song sound different and memorable. Both albums carry a powerful message that makes it hard for a listener to walk away not thinking a bit differently about society. The lyrics of these albums is what made them relevant then, and now.
found this on youtube, its the intro and 1st song on the album. it's not an official video but has some really cool footage. note: after 1:40/sec it isnt part of the actual song.
in 2010, the album celebrated it's 20th anniversary. I was 18 yrs old then, and after listening to this album...
