The "Enemy" has stricken black with their fo release, Apocalypse 91 . . . The Enemy Strikes Bla> As soon as I had bought the tape, I ran back to car and stuck it in my tape deck not knowing whi expect. After a year-and-a-half of dealing with false mors, attempts by the media to destroy the group "The Professor Griff Scandal," I had no idea v kind of affect all of these problems would have on group. Public Enemy had already established themselve the best rap band ever known to man. Would t fourth album live up to the sheer genius of their tl previous albums? Well let's put it this way, they now simply the best band ever known to man. T follow up Fear of a Black Planet with an album rivals their classic second release, It Takes a Natio, Millions to Hold Us Back. Apocalypse 91 ... The Enemy Strikes Black gi us 14 slamming cuts that will make your jaw droj your speakers emit some of the most awe-inspii sonic pleasures you will ever hear. From the oper track "Lost at Birth" to the closing remix of "Bi Tha Noize (w/Anthrax)," there is not one second this album you will have to fast forward over. Chuck D. delivers his rhymes harder, smoother stronger than anybody. Flavor Flav is as nutty as e adding his impromptu rhyming style at just the ri times to accentuate Chuck's lyrical flow. He also three solos on the new album: "I Don't Wanna Called Yo Niga," "More News at 11" and "A Lette the New York Post." Media Assassin Harry A1 helps Flav on "More News at 11" and Chuck D. le a hand on "A Letter to the New York Post." The production on this album, handled by The perial Grand Ministers of Funk, is absolutely phe menal. The Bomb Squad, producers of classics si as Fear of a Black Planet and Ice Cube's Amerikkk Most Wanted, became the executive producers mak sure the production was done properly. This album has some of the best grooves I've e heard. The slow funkified track "By the Time I Gel Arizona" has the fattest loop to ever enter my e drums. This song discusses the reluctancy of the si of Arizona to celebrate Martin Luther King's birthd The first three cuts, "Lost at Birth," "Rebirth" i "Nighttrain," all mix together and they all kick mi buttocks.

These people enjoy a night out at Th s black with f tic* album ; Review 1 "How to Kill a Radio Consultant" attacks so-called "black" radio stations who refuse to play real rap hing m"sic. Instead, they play fluff R&B that has no lyrical value. Chuck D. goes right for the throat when he urth says, "Rap's the number one pick so I draft it. I don't :lc. cure about the other demographics. When the quiet my storm come on, I fall asleep. What they need is Arbiit to fron on the funky jeep." For those of you who don't know, Arbitron is a ru- book that is released which tells the radio stations and their ratings. Radio stations generally believe if they vhat play rap music too much, especially in the daytime, the they will fall in the ratings and lose advertising dollars. s as Top 40 radio stations are especially scared because heir they don't want to lose their "white" audience. Proglree ram directors receive a lot of pressure from sales peoare pie to not program rap music, especially stuff like hey Public Enemy, because white advertisers want to adthat vertise to white people. n ?f A nightclub that has a tvnicallv white crowd does not want to advertise to blacks simply because they, lvcs the clubowners are racist and do not want blacks in as their clubs in fear that their white clientele will stop !ng coming to their club. This is one part of the effort that ling the "power" continues in hopes that the races will rej1 g main as separate as possible. The second side starts off with the fast, hard-hitting and "Move." This song features the newest member of ;vcr Public Enemy, Sister Souljah. "One Million Bottle Bags" comes next attacking the hQS malt liquor industry for its inordinate amount of adBe vertising aimed at black men. r t0 "Shut 'Em Down" is a call for boycotting compact1 nies who don't invest in the communities that support n(k them. Chuck raps, "I like Nike but wait a minute. The neighborhood supports so put some money in it. Cor^m" porations owe, they gotta give up the dough to da no" town or else we gotta shut 'em down." itch "Get the F? Out of Dodge" gives us Chuck D. a s rapping strong over a slow, menacing beat. This song features True Mathematics, and even though it isn't the best song on the album, it's still extremely good. ver The Final cut, "Bring Tha Noize," is a remix of the t to original which can be found on It Takes a Nation of '<ar- Millinns tn HnM IIc Rnrtr Thr? hf?Q w mMa! omiin ate Anthrax joins P.E. in creating a dynamic masterpiece ay- that could lead the way for a host of new rap sounds, ind if you don't already own this album, go out and ich bUy it now!
