	Boston.com / News / Boston Globe / Living / Arts / 16 years after 'Nation', what is Public Enemy's legacy?
		As an album, ''It Takes a Nation" is still a hip-hop anomaly; all of its pieces sound as if they were meant to function as part of a more purposeful whole.
		When ''It Takes a Nation" was released, Public Enemy, which then consisted of rappers Chuck D and Flavor Flav, DJ Terminator X, Minister of Information Professor Griff, and producers the Bomb Squad, was attuned to much larger cultural forces.
		Even last year's heartening push for voter registration felt millions of years removed from the mainlined aggressions of ''Prophets of Rage" or ''Bring the Noise." Public Enemy wasn't just a political rap group; it represented the political potential of a demographic that was as yet unconscious.

	Dissing Baudrillard: Public Enemy and Foucault’s Masked Other
		Compared against It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back, the Beastie Boys’ belief in all that is "ill" suggests belief in another type of illness, a thoughtless and uncritical acceptance of the Reagan Era values which Public Enemy’s album (released a year later) attempts to challenge.
		It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back responds to these tensions by suggesting that for African-Americans, America had never ceased to be a dangerous place.
		While the album’s subject matter ranged from racial stereotyping in the media ("Don’t Believe The Hype") to the role of various police agencies in the systematic oppression of African-Americans ("Louder Than A Bomb"), underlying these overtly-presented lyrical expositions was a multi-layered musical backing of equal political relevance.

		Straight Outta Compton is out, hip-hop is being constantly slated in the national and international press, and then an album like 'It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back' comes out.
		However, It Takes A Nation was the foundation, it was contraverisal, in-your-face and obviously hated by 'the man'.
		After 'It Takes A Nation' came the equally stellar (if not better) 'Fear Of A Black Planet' and yes, another classic was penned by the Messanger Of Prophecy* and The Cold Lamper**.

	Blogcritics.org: Chuck D and Hank Shocklee of Public Enemy on how making rap music has changed
		When Public Enemy released It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back, in 1988, it was as if the album had landed from another planet.
		The fact that these songs were underground hits prior to the release of Nation only increased the demand for the album.
		It Takes a Nation came frontloaded with sirens, squeals, and squawks that augmented the chaotic, collaged backing tracks over which P.E. frontman Chuck D laid his politically and poetically radical rhymes.

	It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back Music at Shop Ireland
		Bumrush the Show' was a promising start and 'It Takes a Nation...' took things a step further, an absolutely astounding album that will blow anyone away.
		On top of being fantastic songs they hold a message which all should pay heed to, their anti-racist stance is strong enough to have white people joining the Black Panthers.
		Chuck D's incisive lyrics and political indictments often ring true, and despite some heavy militant overtones, the sheer strength of tracks such as 'Bring the Noise' and 'Don't Believe the Hype' certainly make this album one of, if not the best hip-hop release ever.

	From the Mind of Wayne Abbott... : Weblog
		They selected PE's 2nd album from 1988 "It Takes A Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back" as number 2 on the list - quite an achievement given the competition over the last 17 years.
		I found Spin's take on the "freshness" of the album interesting and deserving of a little commentary from the cheap seats.
		Maybe on the surface to the untrained or uncaring eye but peak under the covers and the issues mentioned on the album are still with us today.

	Public Enemy - It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back
		"It Takes A Nation..." completely changed rap; lyrically, musically and perceptually.
		Back when this came out in 1988, hip-hop was just starting to turn from sparser beats to sonically heavy beats.
		I don't even know why I'm reviewing this CD because if you haven't already heard each of these songs at least 100 times each, you deserve to be shot by Professor Griff himself.

	BasketballBoards.net - Chicks who wear pants without back pockets
		It seems to me that the lowriderness of them are more the 'problem' (if that's the appropriate term) than the lack of a back pocket.
		I mean, back in the 1980's/early 90's chicks used to wear "Guess" jeans which made even the most cottage cheese booty look at least passable.
		To develop the drop of compassion in our own heart is the only effective spiritual response to hatred and violence.

		It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back takes the political records of the last fifteen years and renders them completely insignificant.
		It doesn't even take hindsight to realize that this record was genius.
		The plot is a prison escape, and although it's fictional, Chuck still finds a way to take shots at everyone from the federal government to racism.

		The TAZ is a space for all of us to move forward emotionally and spiritually by allowing us to be who we really are and who we really can be.
		The Western idea is that one person is better than the rest of us and we sit and listen to ego- driven music with its standard, quite rigid classical beat system.
		The TAZ is a direct response to and escape from the crap (people we know throwing their attitudes and expectations at us; the mass media brainwashing us into consuming and being good little mindless cogs) that fills up our lives.

	Amazon.com: Walking With a Panther: Music: LL Cool J
		The music, produced mainly by Rick Rubin and LL himself, compliment the rapper's verses like cream does strawberries (as most LL albums do) and make it one of the best albums he's ever done, which is some achievement considering he's almost a dozen albums to his credit.
		To summarise, the album is superb from the fluid, funky rhymes to the cleverly crazy hooks there is not one song you have to skip due to boredom and even though it was released back in 1989 the music is as modern as rap gets.
		If some of the weaker material had been cut and the album was brought down to about 45 minutes, it could have been a great album.
