Used to listen to PE when I was about 14/15.
Looking back it seems ironic that me and mates used to go around reciting lyrics with black activist, anti white supremacy overtones.
Fight the Power, yeaahhhh booyyeeeee

I remember going to a PE concert at the Brixton Academy back in the 80's.. Went off big time when the S1W's fired some AK47's into the air, madness..

I saw them live at the Phoenix festival about 10 or 11 years ago..Along with Ice T they were the best act by a long way..I think that turned out to be there last ever live performance as they announced they were going to quit and then Flavor Flav had his bungie accident so it was the last performance but I am sure they have played plenty of times since,a good way of selling more records is to say you are quitting..
Fear of a black planet is one of the best albums so try and get hold of that...

Saw them there when they toured with Anthrax in the 'Bring the Noise' tour, never been so scared in my life.

I dug Fear of a Black Planet out from it's over-long hibernation in the loft the other day and gave it a tour of the garage turntable
Turns out not to be the ideal music to be playing whilst stripping an old motorbike with all those attendant rusty bolts down to to it's frame though
Did no one ever tell you that the only thing sitting on the fence gets you is splinters in the @rse then Richie

I have seen them live in Norwich twice at the UEA.
First time I was about sixteen, loads of younger kids in there too with some with alarm clocks roped round the neck in true Flavor Flav style!
Remember a few of my mates at the side near stage entrance, all band spoke, except Professor Griff who did not speak to anybody. Very unusual chracter who left the band soon after.
Saw them live again a couple of years ago, and all the audience were in their early thirties, a few old def jam hoodies dusted off, old adidas gazelles with fat laces, and a few new fans who had not really appreciated miuzi weighs a ton back in the day.
It takes a nation of millions is definitely in my top five hip hop albums of all time. True classic.

Deep, I too dug out that album a month or so ago. Still good beats, but not so sure about their lyrics
Ice-T, Big Daddy Kane, BDP.. I've got a few of these.
Went to see BDP and Queen Latifa in concert back in '90 at Birmingham Hummingbird. KRS-1 was a huge bloke!
Cool

Did anyone else here watch the film 'Fear of a Black Hat' back in the day? A fake/documentary satire thing about NWZ (****** with Hats)? IIRC there are some rather funny moments/characters in that like 'Tone Def', 'Ice Cold', 'Vanilla Sherbert', 'Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme' etc.

I wish I'd seen them at Brixton Academy when they appeared with Run DMC and the Beastie Boys but missed it.
I also bought a re release of Mantronix by Mantronix from HMV for £6 last month. It has remixed versions of 'Bassline' and 'Ladies'. Fantastic!

The incredible d, public enemy number one
"five-o" said, "freeze!" and I got numb
Can I tell 'em that I really never had a gun?
But it's the wax that the terminator x spun
Now they got me in a cell 'cause my records, they sell
'cause a brother like me said, "well...
...frarrakhan's a prophet and I think you ought to listen to
What he can say to you, what you ought to do."
Follow for now, power of the people, say,
"make a miracle, d, pump the lyrical"
Black is back, all in, we're gonna win
Check it out, yeah y'all, here we go again
AINA GOT NONE??????
