911 Is a Joke / Revolutionary Generation — 4 Track 12” Single | Public Enemy (Def Jam / CBS - Vinyl)

A genuinely significant piece of hip hop history. This original 4-track 12” single from Public Enemy pairs two of the most powerful tracks from their landmark 1990 album Fear of a Black Planet — one of the greatest and most politically charged records ever made. 911 Is a Joke is Flavor Flav at his most brilliantly subversive, turning a savage critique of emergency services’ neglect of Black communities into an undeniable hip hop classic, while Revolutionary Generation showcases Chuck D’s uncompromising political vision at full force. Released on Def Jam / CBS ahead of Fear of a Black Planet, this pressing is a tangible piece of the moment when hip hop was at its most vital, urgent, and revolutionary. A must for any serious collector of hip hop vinyl or late 80s / early 90s culture.
