Public Enemy
Public Enemy have been making incredibly profound rap for 25 years and to celebrate this milestone, they're here on a sideshow to their run of dates with the Groovin' The Moo tour.
Overview
There comes a time when some of the biggest hip hop acts in the world tour and hardly hear a murmur about it. In case you don't know who I'm speaking about, Public Enemy are one of the most seminal hip hop acts of our time, and their return to our country should be posted on every telegraph pole in the city.
Last time Public Enemy were here was for the Sunset Sounds/Falls tour, and they played an absolutely hectic set while our beautiful town filled to the brim with water (it was January 2011). This huge group features none other than Flavor Flav, Chuck D and Professor Griff. Flavor Flav is pushing 50, yet he still manages to bust out the massive clock chain around his neck like it's no one's business. Chuck D is also known to whip out his boom box that has made an appearance every show since the 1980s.
Their 1990 album, Fear of a Black Planet, cemented them as the one of the leading black activism groups in the United States and the world, and is an ode to their will to never give up for their rights. You might know their powerful song, 'Fight the Power', which speaks for itself.
Public Enemy have been making incredibly profound rap for 25 years, and to celebrate this milestone, they are here on a sideshow to their run of dates with the Groovin' The Moo tour. They are releasing two albums this year, so you should expect to see a mix of old and new at these once-in-a-lifetime shows. You have to see them and listen to their influential sound, and yes, fight the powers that be.
