PUBLIC ENEMY IN CONCERT:
Hip hop pioneers and modern day rap legends Public Enemy are still bringing the noise, nearly three decades after establishing themselves as "Public Enemy No. 1" with their 1987 debut single. Flavor Flav and crew had game then and they got game now, keeping classic rap alive as they continue to 'scream vocal javelins' at the right enemies and innovate on the one's and two's. Following their 2013 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Public Enemy will "Fight the Power" on their 2014 tour dates, including a highly anticipated appearance at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Where would the rap game be without the power and profundity of Long Island's Public Enemy? Formed in the early '80s by MC Chuck D and his irascible hype-man Flavor Flav, the group set out to add a political message to the aggressive style of hip hop made famous by Run DMC. Joined by MC Professor Griff and DJ Terminator X, Public Enemy ascended to astronomical heights with 1988 sophomore album It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back. The record, anchored by the single "Don't Believe the Hype" became the first hip hop album to gain mainstream recognition, landing at No. 1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. The rest is history.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"Hands down top 3 hip hop shows I have ever seen! AWESOME!"
"Excellent concert! High energy and Public Enemy KILLED IT!
"That was a great show to be able to watch, I love that hip hop is alive and well...Chuck D is an amazing MC, the way he hosted the show and showed the local talent so much love was one of the best feeling I got this year at a show."
Lady B knows who to put together to make a show hype. Stetsosonic, DST , the Alumni where great and Public Enemy was a site for sore eyes. They were awesome and the sound was good as ever.
It was one of the best shows in rap that I ever have went to see live performance and I and my retired buddy really enjoyed it we are from the old school of rep music. I have not seen public enemy in concert sothat was one of the old school rap group That I must see and did not want to pass it up missing.Thanks for having tickets available.
The best concert ever had a wonderful time. It was sooo exciting seeing all the old 80's rappers LOVED IT!!!
Show was well put together, the artists complemented each other. My surprise favorite was Sam the Beast, excellent performer, call and response songs pump up the crowd. The Alumni were very good, Kwame had a lot of energy and Monie sounded great. Public Enemy set could have been better in my opinion, no songs from first album and playing He got Game seemed to lose the energy of the crowd. Venue was fantastic as always, I love the Dell.
Was an amazing show can't wait till next year to see who comes
Public Enemy is The Truth!! After all these years they are still rocking the stage like its 1987. They blew up the stage and Shut the park down.
I loved the show the atmosphere was beautiful. I jammed to all my favorite songs
Too much weed smoking and not good transitions between the different Artist.
AWESOME!!!!! I ENJOYED MYSELF & LADY B BRINGS IT EVERY YEAR...IF MY HUSBAND WAS STILL LIVING HE WOULD'VE LOVED THIS SHOW....CAN'T WAIT UNTIL NEXT YEAR....
This was the first time attending this concert but it will NOT be the last! The line up was bananas, the atmosphere was great, and I had an overall fantastic time! If you haven't been to one, make sure you get you some of this!
