Public Enemy -- Sophisticated Bitch

This is a track from PE's debut album, Yo! Bum Rush The Show. THIS^ is also a rare moment of hearing my all-time favorite rap group sounding "kind of gangsta". And the beats are freaking crazy by 1980's standards.

On a side note, this is the only song that Chuck D regretted ever recorded in his entire music career.

Now I know you orgers that are old-school hip-hop/rap fans are NOT sleeping on this!

A great song indeed, I need to buy back all of their older albums since I haven't listened to them in twenty plus years.

i love PE and Chuck is my dude!! however, their debut was horrible IMO. its only in my collection for posterity sake. now what came AFTER......! WHOOO changed the course of hip hop.

One of my all time favorite groups...the beat is from friends (Whodini). All time classic album is "it takes a million...to hold us back" Imo

they debut was a blast at its time! but sure, once you measure it by their upcoming works it looks small in comparision, but still........

Leave her ass in the corner 'til her feet gets cold.

Knowin' for a fact, that girl is wack,
If you hold your hand out she'll turn her back.

Better walk, don't talk, she's all pretend,
Can't be her friend, unless you spend.

Wall to wall, after all,
Get ready to throw, only money at the bitch.

Cause she thinks she's soooooooooooo-phisticated.

A CLASSIC album for hardcore P.E. fans.

Thinking back at the time, P.E. scared white folks...until a couple of months later... N.W.A. gangsta rap scared white and black folks.

the drums are from "Friends" by Whodini, so it just makes me want to listen to that:
