Enemy once again shows the world that while most rappers are keeping it
“gangsta” rapping about how many hoes they got, dope spots, how many
times they got shot, and the bling and the rocks; Chuck D and the click
will not be moved! Not even being subjected to this new type of
so-called hip-hop can make PE succumb to being like everyone else. The
album Rebirth of A Nation is thankfully, not different from the
style they had in the 80’s and 90’s. The new album is laced with
political messages, firm opinions, inspiration, and of course the MC
Flava Flav!!!!!! And although Flav has been busy trying to fall in love
on VH1’s reality TV show, Flavor of Love, not even the ladies Hoopz or
New York could keep him from his first love, spreading the message of
hard truth.
The entire album is definitely A plus, but there are some tracks that make you want to play them over and over. “Rise” spotlights Chuck D “rapping as if he is possessed by Malcolm X" speaking of people, specifically black people, reuniting and raising up as the media and the world conspires to make black people look the other way and are robbed for everything in their possession.“Plastic Nation” has to be one of my favorite tracks on the album. As a woman, when a man says that liposuction, breast implants, and removing stretch marks is unnatural and is an example of self hate, it makes me feel like they appreciate a woman for all of our self-proclaimed flaws.
“Hell
No (We ain’t alright)” shoots down the government’s lame excuses for
the way the aftermath process was executed for the victims of Hurricane
Katrina. The track even closes with sympathetic words of encouragement
from Flava Flav. Download: The whole album
