176. Public Enemy: Fear of a Black Planet (1990)

Beck Did It Better

What's that smell in your crib? It's the best podcast about Public Enemy and the 176th greatest album of all time, Fear of a Black Planet. Before we get to the album we run all our jokes into the ground and lay some foundation for the best office nicknames, sock swapping, and 1980's NBA Superstars music videos. Then at (46:00) the B side of this podcast wins again when we cover Public Enemy's third studio album, Fear of a Black Planet. We play spot the sample, discuss Public Enemy's influence on hip hop, and break down the four elements of hip hop. We also share an impromptu list of the best songs with the word nine in the title. If you need to find a reason to believe then join us next week when we become the best Rod Stewart podcast and his 1971 hit album, Every Picture Tells a Story. Doubling a hard twelve!
