Shows where Public Enemy appears
Boombox Anthems: Fight the Power
Do the Right Thing's soundtrack, from Public Enemy's "Fight the Power" to E.U.'s "Da Butt" and Steel Pulse, embodies the vibrant, defiant Black soundscape of 1989 Bed-Stuy.
1 of 8 tracks — Fight the Power
Tape Loops to Digital Dreams
The Mellotron's distinct, imperfect textures, from The Moody Blues' melancholy to King Crimson's dark choirs, forge a memory sound Art of Noise later digitizes.
1 of 7 tracks — Rebel Without A Pause
Chickenhead's Sample Chain
Project Pat's "Chickenhead" recontextualizes ESG's "U.F.O." from early 80s New York no-wave, building a Southern hip-hop hit that echoes through Public Enemy and Tricky.
