Public Enemy - It Takes A Nations Of Millions To Hold Us Back Bonus Tracks

Before grunge happened I was listening to rap music: N.W.A., Eazy E, DeLaSoul, Son of Bazerk, The D.O.C., Ice-T, EPMD, that kinda stuff. Only one record doesn't stop to amaze me, even now, more than 20 years after it's release. This was the real thing and I sort of compare it with The Velvet Underground, the same urgency and rawness. Their use of samples, the detail in production, the funkiness, and the fantastic rhymes by Chuck D make this to a blueprint of the Hip Hop culture. 

For my birthday I got the Night Of The Living Baseheads single as a gift from my uncle and aunt. It featured mostly remixes, but I liked it a lot and played it all the time. Last year I got the idea to collect all the B-sides from the It Takes A Nation era and that's what I'm posting now:

1. Bring The Noise (No Noise Version)
