Performance: Public Enemy at Montreal Jazz Festival 2008

Written By : Stone // Comments (0)

Public Enemy played It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back in order from beginning to end, with commentary in between.

It was like a live version of VH1 Storytellers with Chuck droppin’ such tidbits how Hank Shocklee at the last minute flipped the ordering of the songs of the cassette and played many songs for the first time live. And yeah, just like De La Soul, PE railed against the 20 minute sets that some hip-hop artists try to pass off as a live performance. Public Enemy went on for over 2 hours.

Reviews

88 Keys - The Death of Adam
Even though 88 Keys drops a solid album, the \"next Kanye\" predictions are a tad premature.
Q-Tip - The Renaissance
A solid effort from the leader of one of the most renowned- groups of hip-hop’s timeline.
Foreign Exchange - Leave it All Behind
Leave it All Behind is more than an experiment.
