PUBLIC ENEMY - Yo! Bum Rush The Show (2023 Reissue) - LP - Fruit Punch Colour Vinyl

LP - Limited Edition Fruit Punch Colour Vinyl reissued to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Hip-Hop (2023).

This Year Marks The 50th Anniversary of Hip-Hop and to help celebrate, UMR/Def Jam are delighted to mark the occasion with a selection of classics brought back out on Vinyl. This is Phase 1 with more to follow through the rest of the year.

With 1987's Yo! Bum Rush the Show, Public Enemy introduce a new kind of bravado that's not just directed at other players and sucker mcs but is an out-and-out middle-finger challenge to the whole world, as these serious brothers roll right over you in a slow-moving convoy of 98 oldsmobiles ('you're gonna get yours'). Public enemy crowd these tracks with disparate sounds that move your butt while they buzz from every channel.

Despite their serious posturing, you'll be grateful for the sloppy bass line in 'Timebomb' and Terminator x's brilliant tone experiment, 'Public Enemy No. 1.' Yo! Bum Rush the Show isn't Public Enemy's masterpiece, but it's a truly standout album, a warning shot for the full-scale assault they would later initiate on It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold us Back.
