On the last Public Enemy album, 1994's critically panned "Muse Sick N Hour Mess Age," Chuck D, once the most authoritative and insightful voice in hip-hop, sounded more like a resigned war veteran than the revolutionary soldier of his previous recordings.
This soundtrack for Spike Lee's new basketball-themed drama is a comeback of significant proportions. Chuck D has reunited the original Public Enemy (Flavor Flav, Terminator X and Professor Griff) with the Bomb Squad production team that made the group one of pop music's most influential and politically confrontational bands.
