This is the third studio album from the hip - hop group, originally launched on March 20, 1990, by Def Jam Recordings. Produced by The Bomb Squad, the group's production team, they aimed to build on the rich, sample - layered sound of Public Enemy's 1988 album, It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back. Songwriting was partly sparked by the controversy around member Professor Griff and his 1989 departure from the group. The album showcases elaborate sound collages with diverse rhythms, many samples, media sound bites, and quirky music loops, mirroring its confrontational tone. Born in the golden age of hip hop, its use of re - configured audio sources came before the music industry's sample clearance system.
To enjoy this vinyl LP, simply place it on your turntable, gently drop the needle at the start of the record, and let the music play.
