Synopsis

Product Description

One of the signature tunes from Public Enemy s classic album Fear of a Black Planet has been retooled and renewed by some of the most cutting edge perfomers of this new century. Chuck D. (of Public Enemy), Dave Lombardo (Slayer), Vernon Reid (Living Colour), DJ Spooky, and Jack Dangers (Meat Beat Manifesto), have joined forces to bring a fresh offering of this classic track, which appears
on the forthcoming Spooky/Lombardo Record Drums of Death.
Dave Lombardo and Dj Spooky have joined forces to create a new take on a classic track B-Side Wins Again by the explosive rap group Public Enemy , featuring the unmistakable stylings of one of the Kings of Rap- Chuck
D. Vernon Reid plugs in as well, drenching The Art of War with his own signature stylings. On top of this teamup, Jack Dangers, of Meat Beat Manifesto, lends his own unique skills as a producer to send this single into the
stratosphere. Originally appearing on the Public Enemy record Fear of a Black Planet , this track has been revived for a new century, with even more fist-pumping attitude than it s predecessor. Not to be missed by any
rap, metal, or electronica fan. As a bonus, this offering includes acappella and instrumental versions, for use in any Dj s own home experiments.

CD Reviews

...artifical flav is not quite as good as the real thing...

William Bickford | Ronkonkoma, NY United States | 03/21/2005

(3 out of 5 stars)

"I had to get this single, being a huge Meat Beat Manifesto and Public Enemy fan, and the track they picked was one of the best PE songs in my opinion. However, after giving the disc much play time, I still don't think that it stacks up compared to the original and is more of a novelty. Chuck D is at his best, but Flav is not present, and the vocoded or processed vocals compensate for his punch, but they seem to stumble or interfere most of the time. You can definitely hear the production of Jack Dangers through this track, but the repetition and predictability in the track are not indicative of his handywork. This may seem caustic, but I feel that if this were a dominantly Meat Beat or Jack Dangers single it would have been so powerful and funky that you could smell it! This version is alright...but the original is much better (on "Fear of a Black Planet")."
