Their previous record quite literally changed the world and prompted both positive and negative reactions from critics, Fear of a Black Planet is a reaction to any negative opinions they received. It encompasses everything, seductive grooves, relentless beats, hard funk, dub reggae and hard hitting lyrics. All the more impressive is that this is one of the records made during the golden age of sampling, before legal limits were set, so this is a wild, endlessly layered record filled with familiar sounds you can't place. Thirty years after itsrelease, Fear of a Black Planet is not just as lyrically relevant as it's ever been, but as vital and exciting a work of hip-hop there might ever be.
