Search - Public Enemy :: It Takes a Nation: First London Invasion Tour 1987

"From their multi-platinum 1987 debut ... to seven records later, Public Enemy's influence on hiphop and rap shows little sign of slowing down. Arguably the most frequently sampled rap artists of all time ... [they channel] anger into articulate, revolutionary lyrics, as much to educate as to entertain. The beats, rife with police sirens, screeches, and heavy sampling, speed each tune to a cathartic release. Anyone who thinks that racial equality has been reached in the US can think again, and let Public Enemy do the talking." -- Rolling Stone Follow Public Enemy on their very first trip to the European shores: live November 1-3, 1987, European Def Jam Tour, Hammersmith Odeon, London!
