- Description: 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. Album Tracks 1. Countdown to Armageddon 2. Bring the Noise 3. Don't Believe the Hype 4. Cold Lampin' with Flavor 5. Terminator X to the Edge of Panic 6. Mind Terrorist 7. Louder Than a Bomb 8. Caught, Can We Get a Witness? 9. Show Em Whatcha Got 10. She Watch Channel Zero?! 11. Night of the Living Baseheads 12. Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos 13. Security of the First World 14. Rebel Without a Pause 15. Prophets of Rage 16. Party for Your Right to Fight
