    Day 680: Public Enemy – Fear of a Black Planet

     
    Oh boy. Yeah, so you think that writing almost 700 of these reviews would mean that I would be getting increasingly more able to write them. But, it is so much harder. I have officially run out of was to say that I liked an album. Not loved, not hated, but just enjoyed.

    Most of these albums are good but they don't affect me in any way. This is another one. This was a perfectly good hip hop album that used samples in an interesting way. But, I'm sorry, but I don't know how to explain how much I am apathetic towards it. It's not Public Enemy's fault...they tried their hardest.

    I'll do my best. So, I did like some songs off the album: "Pollywanacracker" and "Who Stole the Soul" both use a more aggressive hip hop sound which is a great new touch in this brief history of hip hop/rap that I've been sauntering through. It's nice to hear a less sing-songy rapper and a few electric guitars in the mix.

    Overall, this album still reminded me of the other 30 hip hop albums I've been listening to lately. It was a perfectly good album, I just wasn't that enamored with it. 4 stars.
