If Public Enemy`s two previous albums had ruffled feathers, Fear Of A Black Planet set out its stall to exploit mainstream fears. Again, the title spoke volumes. This time they raged just as hard, but their political consciousness had grown. Professor Griff had been ejected from the band for his anti-Semitic stance, and much of the album`s atmosphere is created by the bunker mentality of resultant clashes with the press. The siege mentality only underscores the group`s hard-nosed, cut-and-paste sample technique and the eloquence of Chuck D. `Fight The Power` still bites harder than just about any other track in rap`s history.
