Public Enemy In Montreal

When Public Enemy released their seminal call to arms record It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back 20 years ago, Chuck D, Flavor Flav, Professor Griff and The S1W had plenty to be mad about. The politically charged album perfectly summed up the angst of the late '80s, but what's especially frightening is how the words of Chuck and Flav are...

That Public Enemy's revolutionary politics have been almost completely diluted from hip-hop over the past 15 years is a sad thing. Equally sad is the fact that PE no longer seem capable of inspiring even themselves. New Whirl Odor finds Chuck D churning through familiar themes of black oppression without any new thoughts on how it's manifesting...

The Jimmy Swift Band have broken up. But don't cry! Vocalist Craig Mercer and keyboardist Aaron Collier are still making music as Scientists Of Sound and are touring in support of their new Wealth & Hellness album. M83's next album is going to be a double LP. It's going to be about dreams. Makes sense, since I fall asleep while listening to...

The Battle of the Cloud has taken a different turn: the Recording Industry Association Of America sued business management website Box.net this week because users have apparently been...

This hasn't been a good week for Public Enemy's Flavor Flav. He was arrested in Las Vegas last Friday night on a traffic violation, and cops discovered there were four warrants out for his arrest because of prior run-ins with The Man. At least he smiled for his new mug shot? Meanwhile, Flavor Flav's former business partner has filed a police...

With Chuck D’s open support for Napster, this album is PE’s latest battle to fight The Industry power. From self-production and distribution to the "raptivist" lyrics, PE isn’t trying to make many suit-wearing friends. During production, they even encouraged fans to submit remixes and cover art by posting source material on their website...
