First bona fide Rap album I ever bought back in the late '80s. I confess, it was Thrash Metal veterans, Anthrax constantly banging on about them that convinced me!
Great album with perhaps the most intelligent lyrics ever written for a Rap cd - even though I don't agree with many of the opinions expressed, I respect them.
A production that was way ahead of the time, with great beats, basslines & samples, with a near perfect vocal balance between the intense and angry Chuck D and the more eccentric Flavor Flav. It's easy to see why this had appeal to the Metal crowd with it's heavy, urban tone, militaristic imagery and incendiary attitudes. Indeed, one track, She Watch Channel Zero features a sample of the riff from Slayer's Angel Of Death. EARLY crossover!
A great album that I'd recommend alongside Fear Of A Black Planet and despite it's background & personnel, it's a truly great 'Rock & Roll' album. Indeed, at it's time of release, the media were making direct comparisons between this and Sex Pistol's Never Mind The B*llocks, stating that both albums shared the same sensibilities!!

A TIMELESS CLASSIC 9 Jan 2002
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
In todays world of multiplatinum, woman clad,bling blinging hiphop there is no album that can match the raw power, agression, storytelling, in yer face attitude that nation of millions can offer. Chuck D and Flavour flav honour Terminator X's flawless production with the verbal onslaught that it deserves. "rebel without a pause" can take a claim to the greatest hiphop track ever written, while being supported by classics like "dont beleive the hype" and "night of the living baseheads". They even sample a gut churning riff from slayers "Angel of Death" for "she watch channel zero. All in all a true masterpiece.

There is a case to be made that this album is the greatest ever recorded. Period. I listen to it now and it still sounds awesome. Every song makes a valid statement on American society and the problems which exist. Contemporary, powerful, brilliant. Buy it now.

Great album, questionable "remaster"
So I went through the trouble to order the "Def Jam Remaster" version of Nation of Millions, since it's a great album and all that. Read more

Rap/hip-hop masterpiece
The 'message' of rap became even more relevant with Public Enemy, whose agit-prop hip-hop music was an explicit call to arms in the face of urban violence. Read more

Decent rap album from Public Enemy
Not as good as "Muse Sick-N-Hour Mess Age" but worth buying for every hip hop fan that wants little bit more than In Da Club or Jay-Z, Kanye West or gangsta nonsense.
