A word to the wise is justified.
Public Enemy - Yo! Bum Rush The Show
It’s hard to describe how important Public Enemy were in 1987. If you were to listen to this album today without having heard it at the time, you’d wonder what all the fuss was about, despite it containing many pre-cursors of A Nation of Millions, their meisterwerk. At the time, though...oof! We’d never heard anything like it. I’m not sure I’d heard Blow Your Head before it was sampled on Public Enemy No. 1 either.
They played Hammersmith Odeon in November of that year, (supported by LL Cool J and Eric B & Rakim) and me and my mate Tim were there. It was well moody, but very memorable.
I still have no idea what bum rushing the show might entail.
