Public Enemy may have generated more heat than light ultimately, but their bold contentiousness makes this their most incendiary and acidic album. Producers The Bomb Squad and DJ Terminator X's relentless arsenal of samples and concussive backbeats, coupled with Chuck D's fiercely didactic raps frighteningly convey young black America's disaffection rising to boiling point, especially on "Brother's Gonna Work It Out" and "Fight The Power", featured in Spike Lee's equally troubling movie, Do Tha Right Thing.
