I'm 49. This came out during my 8th grade year. I got the DUBBED CASSETTE from someone. I used this song as my short story during an assignment in my Freshman English class. I can remember my teacher, who was a 50+ year old Caucasian woman, totally un-hitched to hip hop, was totally engaged in me reading the story until the class. One of my teammates, who loved this song as much as I do/did and was in my class almost blew my cover as I stood up to read my story/Chuck D's story... when I said "I got a letter from the government", he instantly fell out of his chair and began to laugh, almost blowing my cover😂. He got it back together, and I was able to ease up outta there.

Chuck D has one of the most recognizable voices all-time in Hip-Hop. Black Rambo with too much ammo for 32 members in NATO. Deadly dialect of Malcolm X with a Tec. Dr. Kevorkian dissections without next of kin permission. And this joint has some nasty bass. Still bump this ruckus when I do the fitness. PE is top 5 group all-time. For this type of anarchy the cat that resembles Kenan Thompson is not ready like Bronny.

It Takes a Nation of Millions is the greatest album in Hiphop history, you just don’t know. That album changed the game in ways no other album did. I understand your 9, and PE has party bangers as well. Other songs, Night of the Living Baseheads, Rebel Without a Pause, Bring the Noise (original version), Welcome To the Terrordome, Brothas Going To Work It Out, Fight the Power etc. Mohammed Ali went to prison for not going to the military.

I know you are a young head bro and Public Enemy 's style and music went against the grain even in the 80's but you can't listen to them like you listen to todays mumble rap . They are speaking about real deal stuff in their music. To quote Flavor Flav from She Watch Channel Zero. - back up from the tv , read a book or something , learn about yourself , learn your culture . To put this song in context , back at this time we were getting into the Gulf War and one of the things that was a topic at the time was a draft and PE was speaking on Why should we go to war for a country that doesnt give a F..k about us . We had the AIDS epidemic and Crack destroying the inner cities and you want to draft to fight a war over oil. and yes It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back is one of the greatest albums EVER recorded.
