Overview

Chuck D and Flavor Flav delivered radical politics over the dense sample collages of the Bomb Squad, layering sirens, funk breaks and noise into a wall of sound. Dont Believe the Hype and Bring the Noise made it a rallying cry, and critics have long ranked it among the greatest hip hop albums.
