Biografía

Public Enemy, also known as P.E., is a seminal Golden Age era Hip-Hop group known for their densely layered production and politically charged lyrics demonstrating their interest in the concerns of the African American community.

Sales-wise it was the most successful of any of their albums to date. It included the powerful and controversial singles '911 is a Joke' (which criticized emergency response units for taking longer to arrive at emergencies in the black community than those in the white community), and 'Fight the Power', which is considered by many to be the group's premier self-describing anthem. The song is considered to be amongst the most popular and influential in Hip Hop history and was the theme song for Spike Lee's landmark film 'Do The Right Thing'.
