Public Enemy - It Takes a Nation of Millions - COMPACT DISCS [CD]
About this product
It Takes a Nation of Millions was the sign that hip-hop had exploded like a grenade. A rap record as abrasive, hardcore, and eloquent as a JFK speech, the 1988 disc is one classic track after another tense, multilayered, harmonically wild music. Chuck D. declaims like a master preacher with foil Flavor Flav's voice darting around his. They've got the desperate energy of people fighting for their lives, and everything from their pumped-up rhetoric (InchProphets of RageInch) to the group's quasi-paramilitary organization to the sirens and sax squeals in nearly every track declares how urgent their mission is. It's a hugely influential album, and it still sounds fresh and frightening after all these years.

Spanning Queen's triumphant first act, from 1974 to 1980, 'Greatest Hits' includes some of the world's most beloved rock standards, including the stadium-sized symphonic chart-topper 'Bohemian Rhapsody' and the roof-raising 'We Are the Champions', which was named the most catchy song of all time by a team of scientists in 2011. The album also dazzles with it's stylistically diverse range, from the crowd-rousing 'We Will Rock You', the tongue-in-cheek 'Fat Bottomed Girls', the stomp-stomp-stomp late '70s disco inspired 'Another One Bites the Dust', to the finger-snapping jukebox retro-rock homage 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love' and gospel-fired Aretha-isms of 'Somebody to Love'.
