Hip hop compilation Public Enemy just released a new album, Beats and Places, and you can already get it now. This band doesn’t fit into the mainstream branch including all these Eminems, 50 Cents and Snoop Doggs, but they are still well-known and respected (their first album appeared in 1987, so it may be better to call them “Legends”). Anyway, decent rip from RNS once again…

Public Enemy has again followed suit in bringing its music, words, imagery and meaning to the world. The highly influential Long Island New Yorkers have been together 20 years and delivered a barrage of classic albums awash with politically-charged lyrics. The group, which still features founding members Chuck D, Flavor Flav, and Professor Griff, has scores of imitators but is regarded by many as the definitive rap group. Beats and Places brings to the foreground some lesser-known Public Enemy tracks along with a DVD of music videos and documentaries.

Public Enemy, also known as PE, is a seminal hip hop group from Long Island, New York known for their politically charged lyrics, criticism of the media, and active interest in the concerns of the African American community. Their next LP “Beats and Places” will be released on the 28th November. They will be inducted into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame in 2007. They are ranked #44 on Rolling Stone magazine’s Fifty Greatest Artists of All Time list.
