Move over Guns and Roses, now there's sometl
meaner.
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.
The new single release, "Can't Truss It," con
next. Its powerful message and beat make it a sts
out.

; 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! It will be a classic, not only in the world
of rap, but in the world of music in general as well.
ies Since there is no grade higher, I will have to settle
md with giving Public Enemy's latest creation an A+.
