Fear Of A Black Planet LP

Album Details

Produced by the Bomb Squad and home to the hit singles, “Fight the Power,” (famously featured in Spike Lee's 1989 film Do the Right Thing), “Welcome to the Terrordome” and Flavor Flav’s “911 Is a Joke,” Public Enemy's politically charged third album Fear of a Black Planet (1990) celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2015. To commemorate the feat, the original LP version of Fear Of A Black Planet will be reissued on vinyl for the first time in fifteen years as a special collector’s edition with an exclusive “fade to black” 3D cover that, when tipped to the left or right, turns black, with just the band’s iconic cross-hairs visible. Wax Poetics magazine editor-in-chief Andre Torres calls Fear Of A Black Planet, “the brilliant bookend to a classic hip-hop trilogy...Though Millions is the more critically acclaimed and well-known, an argument could be made for Fear’s triumph as the strongest album of the three...a formidable contender for one of the finest hip-hop albums ever recorded.”
