Welcome to the Terrordome by Public Enemy
“My fellow college radio station nerds and I used to hang out in the station lamenting that we had just missed being there when albums like Zen Arcade or Double Nickels On The Dime came out, and what it must have been to put a record like that for the first time and have our minds blown. Then one day I got a call that a new Public Enemy single had arrived at the station, and to get there fast. As I ran across campus, I saw other DJs running from other directions. We put it on, heard that opening horn sample, and when it went into the PE drone right after it, our jaws all hit the floor, and we realized we had found our moment.”

I like my coffee how I like my early 90's rap: socially conscious. I have no idea why this song was in my head tonight, but here it is.
YO! BUM RUSH THE SHOW is 25 years old today. Different album, but this is probably my no 1 PE track.
#WayBackWednesday The looks I got when I drove around Vanderbilt blasting my PE...hilarious. Pine Bluff raised me right! Hear the drummer get wicked....
