A bit goofy, with the Farrakhan being a profit guff, but a powerful rap statement, and a damn good lyrical jam. Hard and powerful. Unlike all this weak ass disco fluff, as of late.

Sam 8)

a good Fusion that Presented itself without Labeling itself.

Get from in front of me
The crowd runs to me
My deejay is warm, he's X
I call him Norm, ya know
He can cut a record from side to side
So what, the ride,
The glide should be much safer than a suicide
Soul control
Beat is the father of your rock and roll
Music for whatcha, for whichin,' you call a band, man
Makin' a music, abuse it
But you can't do it, ya know
You call 'em demos
But we ride limos, too
Whatcha gonna do?
Rap is not afraid of you
Beat is for Sonny Bono
Beat is for Yoko Ono
Run DMC first said a deejay could be a band
Stand on its own feet
Get you out your seat
Beat is for Eric B. and LL, as well, hell
Wax is for Anthrax, still it can rock bells
Ever forever, universal it will sell
Time for me to exit
Terminator X-it

Yeah this is a great record. Public Enemy's first four albums belong in any hip-hop collection. I also loved their thrash/metal remake of this classic with Anthrax which can be found on their Apocalypse 91...The Enemy Strikes Black.

The track and its lyrics are perfect as they are. No need for disclaimers.

public enemy period

Bring the Noise...classic track.


Rebel Without A Pause = the greatest PE track of all time.

Thanks for mentioning this; it immediately came to mind when I saw this thread. Like Run DMC, PE could get down with metal, too.
