Imbalanced History: Summer Vacay 2024: Public Enemy #1!

Pantheon - Home for Music Lovers

Originally released as episode #138 on 10/7/21, now tweaked and remastered for Summer Vacay 2024!

"Coming together out of the fertile environment of Adelphi University and its college radio station, Public Enemy burst forth with a wall of power, a collective that changed Hip-Hop and helped forge an unholy alliance with Metal! Their song, "Fight The Power" played an actual role in Spike Lee's "Do The Right Thing," which put the group on the radar of a much wider audience.

In this week's adventure, we explore the band's roots as a loosely associated group of artists who converge via WBAU, coalescing as The Bomb Squad, with unreal "solid work" being set off. It's a rambling, veering off-kilter look at PE, who have been part of both Imbalanced Brothers' musical life!

Hats off to the samplers, the DJs scratchin' it out, the MCs sayin' it! Give it up for The Funky Drummer!!!

Take time to learn stuff about stuff you already know stuff about!

Listen to this cool episode, and then get caught up here!!!
