Quote:



Public Enemy, also known as PE, is a hip hop group from Long Island, New York, known for its politically charged lyrics, criticism of the media, and active interest in the concerns of the African American community.

In 2004, Rolling Stone Magazine ranked Public Enemy[1] number forty-four on its list of the Immortals: 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.[2] Acclaimed Music ranks it the 29th most recommended musical act of all time and the highest hip-hop group.[3] The group was inducted into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame in 2007.

It then took roughly one year before its debut, Yo! Bum Rush The Show, was released in 1987 to critical acclaim. The group went on to release the revolutionary album It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back in 1988, which performed better in the charts than its previous release, and included the hit single "Don't Believe the Hype" in addition to "Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos," which chronicled a daring prison break. Nation of Millions... was voted Album of the Year by the The Village Voice Pazz and Jop Poll, the first hp-hop album to be ranked number one by predominantly rock critics in a major periodical. It is also ranked the 18th best album of all time by Acclaimedmusic.net


It Takes a Nation of Millions To Hold Us Back



It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back is the second studio album by American hip hop group Public Enemy, released on Def Jam Recordings on April 19, 1988.

Enormously influential, the album's mix of The Bomb Squad's dense, sample-heavy production and Chuck D's politically charged lyrics turned the album into a sensation, peaking at #42 on the Billboard 200.


Widely regarded as the group's magnum opus, the album regularly ranks as one of the greatest and most influential recordings of all time in various publications.[1][2][3] In 2003, the album was ranked number 48 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. It is the highest ranking hip hop album on the list.[4] Acclaimedmusic.net ranks the album as the 17th best album of all time and also the greatest hip-hop album.[5] Time Magazine hailed it as one of the 100 greatest albums of all time in 2006.[6]
