Classic Hip Hop Albums Deciphered - Public Enemy

PUBLIC ENEMY - "It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back"


I love when people take classic Hip-Hop records and do their best to tell you what songs were sampled to make up each track, I love it even more when they go through the trouble of actually offering up the songs in a collection.

I recently ran across a website that did this with "Eric B & Rakim's" classic "Paid in Full". I will link that here soon enough..

Long story short, I am going to make one for Public Enemy's classic ""It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back"

I will do this for each song that has sampled material in parts. You will hear the actual song first, then you will hear the songs they sampled to make that song.

Here we go...
