No. 3 Apocalypse ’91…The Enemy Strikes Black by Public Enemy (1991)
The last in what was a four album run of pure, certified brilliance, this masterpiece from P.E. sometimes gets overlooked due to the trio of classics that came before it. But Chuck D, Flavor Flav and Co. are still at the top of their game; with songs that address the bias and propaganda of mainstream media, corporate exploitation of urban neighborhoods and the state of Arizona’s refusal to acknowledge the national Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday.
