  5. Public Enemy to Release Two Albums this Year

    "Public Enemy will reunite this year for two new studio albums, founding member Chuck D has revealed.

    The rap group will release Most of My Heroes Still Don't Appear On No Stamp and The Evil Empire of Everything in June and September respectively.

    Chuck D told US magazine Billboard the records are "two concise statements that are connected in the same breath".

    Public Enemy were formed in 1982 and are widely regarded as one of hip-hop's most influential groups.

    The band, made up of Chuck D, Flava Flav, Professor Griff and Terminator X, have previously scored top 10 albums in the UK with Fear Of A Black Planet and It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back.

    Their best known hits are Don't Believe The Hype, He Got Game and Welcome To The Terrordome - which all reached the top 20 in the UK singles chart.

    Public Enemy are known for their controversial and politically-charged lyrics, which often criticise the American media."

    Good read. I didn't know his story either, it's nice to see that he got his due. It's a shame though, it makes you wonder what the world missed out on because of a couple of shady people making decisions at the record company. I didn't see anything mentioned but I do you know if he's released a single yet? Be curiose what his subject matter, and style (beat and flow), would be now.

    Well, since I started the thread I think I can legally hi-jack my own thread. It appears that they've, Plug 1 and Plug 2, released a mixtape together in anticipation to the project. Which has some new material but a mix of some solid tunes for the most part. Anyway they released a skit for it as well, though I'll warn there is plenty of language foul or otherwise.

    That track really sucked. I sound so negative lately but damn...this is why I feel like I'm just into rap as much as I use to be. This is pathetic....seriously Common with Rick Ross and who the hell is French Montana? Lyrics sucked, beat sucked, hook was wack...Commons lines were good and I guess they were using autotune to mock him..ehh

    It's not a Common track though. That track was released a few days ago with all the people you listed, including drake, who used it to diss common. Instead of common using a new beat or track he instead added his own verse shooting back at Drake. He also added the hook 'say my name say my name' from destiny's child. So yes the track sucks, but like you said Commons lines were good. So in essence he used Drake's own song to diss him.

  20. Hard to Find CD's

    I struck out on that website. I've been looking for a CD for a while now, it's no longer in print and was probably a limited run. It's Macklemore - Language of My World. I'm also not sure if they ever released Macklemore Ryan Lewis Vs. Album. They both are listed as sold out on there website, and I doubt there will ever be another release. But if you ever come across one let me know. If you need a visual the two albums are listed at the bottom of this page.

  25. DIGABLE PLANETS REUNITE!

    I think there is a higher power toying with me. About 4 years ago I decided listening to only Cool Like That for two years before that was just not enough. So ever since then I have, and I've had my friends looking as well, to find their two albums. I'm too broke to hit up Amazon, so we've waded through goodwill and other thrifty stores, and I've yet to get either of them. Now god's taunting me with talks of another one. I can't wait, but I want to pick up their first ones.
