一聽音樂網

Public Enemy恐怕這些年來與垃圾說唱分不開了，不可否認由于理解方式的差異，這些說唱垃圾還會使許多樂迷去迷戀他，那說明Public Enemy還有一定的號召力，因為音樂本身是不拘泥于形式的，所以對于歌壇而言也正是這種表現方式的競爭推動了說唱樂本身的發展。
在這張灌錄整整一年左右的唱片《Beats And Places》我看來還是具有一定的可聽性，雖然本人不是一個十分熱忠于說唱樂的搖滾曲風，便對于這一流派的音樂還是比較能認真深聽的，在談到這張專輯的時候Public Enemy把它描述為一個長而又長永無止境的過程?！拔覀兛偸窃阡浺?，我們每天進我們自已的錄音室錄一些聲響，談起我們現在的創作方式得追溯到我們剛接觸音樂的時候，那時我們在學著跳舞和說唱，所以我們能接觸到兩種音樂演奏方式那一代人。
或許只有能認真聽取這張《Beats And Places》才能了解到他們的形式，并且會完全了解到Public Enemy的內心世界。

After an impressive resurgence in the early 2000s, the group that brought protest to hip-hop keeps things moving with another strong album, BEATS AND PLACES. The state of 21st century America is an endless source of outrage for Chuck D--as he puts it on "Hell No, We Ain't All right," (a single recorded in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina), 'We got more issues to talk about.' From hip-hop's hyper-capitalist mentality, ("Air Conditioning") to mass media mind-control, ("Vidiot") to social injustice and corporate greed run amuck ("Sh*t"), Public Enemy's lead vocalist has plenty on his plate. And the presidential vocal samples ("Don't mess with George Dubya") on "Grand Theft Oil" may be the most frighteningly gangsta words heard in some time. DVD Features: Track List 1. Who Your Hero? 2.
