Public Enemy - It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

More than 20 years ago, Public Enemy leapt into the mainstream with the release of their second album, It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back. This was music like the kids never heard before and their strong album crossed races getting everyone involved in this new sound. They were also my introduction to rap music and once I got a taste of this record, I loved it!

The rap that the kids knew before this was Run-DMC, Tone Loc, and DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince. Public Enemy, however, was a new sound with raw power and meaning. The beats, the rhythm, and the vibe were all obvious. This was rap that rocked!

The opening track “Bring The Noise” (which would later be re-recorded with Anthrax) set the tone for something special. The samples and scratches played by Terminator X were so unique and amazing, that as a teenager, I had to have this record. And once I got my hands on it, I couldn’t stop listening to it. Thanks to Public Enemy I learned who Pharacon was, I learned about rap music, and I learned about rhyming and beats. It Takes A Nation Of Millions… taught me how much differently great songs could be constructed. Not everything had to be guitar chords and drums. This opened my eyes to a world of different music that I never knew existed.

“Don’t Believe The Hype” (which I performed in the High School Lip Synch), is a brilliant song sending messages to the youth that not everything is as portrayed by the media or others who have their own agenda in delivering the news. Thanks to this song, I learned who Harry Allen was and I fell in love with Flava Flav. His vocals brought this song to the next level. Mostly dismissed as Chuck D’s sidekick, Flava Flav had his own voice and it really showed on “Don’t Believe The Hype.”

Flava gets to go solo on the next track, “Cold Lampin’ With Flava.” It’s a silly, fun song complete with Flava Flav’s Ernie chuckle laugh. A great segue from the seriousness of the rest of the album. Flava takes a side road to fun and mixes nonsensical lyrics with horns and quick drum beats to create an atmosphere of hilarity.

It Takes A Nation Of Millions opened doors to worlds of music that I was blind to prior to owning this disc. Public Enemy led me to N.W.A., a deeper appreciation for Hip-Hop and Rap music, and it also led me into jazz, soul, and R&B. There was so much more out there that I hadn’t been exposed to, and listening to It Takes A Nation Of Millions made me see that.

A brilliant work of art that sent Public Enemy into homes worldwide, It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back is a solid album that everyone should have in their collection. It changed my life for the better, introducing me to different styles of music that would eventually become deep loves. More than 20 years later, this record still holds up as one of the greatest works of art ever released.

Public Enemy…you rock!

Some Notable 20th Anniversaries Are Coming Up

1991 was a good year for music. A lot of great albums from some amazing bands were released. A few incredible debuts were also released during. Some of those albums are receiving the 20th anniversary deluxe edition treatment. Some of them have already received it (notably, Pearl Jam’s Ten). And then there are some albums that deserve the extended treatment, but probably will not see any anniversary edition released (Red Hot Chili Peppers anyone?).

1991 also brought with it some sad moments in rock and roll history. Both Eric Carr and Freddie Mercury passed away that year. I remember hearing the news for each of their deaths and being devastated. They passed away on the same day, and seeing how they were both members of my favorite bands at the time, it was a horrendous week for me as a fan. To lose the drummer of Kiss was hard enough, but then to find out that Freddie Mercury passed away, well, it was almost more than I could bear. I actually walked around in a depressive state for a while.

1991 was also the year that one of my favorite bands, The Dave Matthews Band, formed and embarked on their first tour. This would become a tradition that lasted until just this year, when the band decided they needed a break from touring and instead headlined a series of festivals (dubbed the DMB Caravan) across the USA.

1991 brought with it a lot of albums that would be added to my seriously growing record collection. By that year, my collection was well in the hundreds, and I couldn’t stop adding to it. Some of the notable records that I bought that year are listed below. All of these albums are celebrating their 20th anniversary this year.

N.W.A. – Niggaz4Life
I bought N.W.A.’s Niggaz4Life shortly after its release and promptly played the hell out of it for the rest of the year. As a senior in high school, I was just starting to really appreciate rap music, hip-hop, and other types of music outside of the hard rock/heavy metal mainstream. Although I was a fan of Public Enemy (and still am), it was N.W.A. that really spoke to me and showed me what hip-hop could be when taken to the level of gangsta rap. I loved Niggaz4Life in a way that I had not loved many albums in a long time. Even to this day, I can remember almost all of the lyrics on the record. And while I don’t necessarily agree with or praise the misogyny and violence that it contained, back when I was 18, it was a pure love affair.

U2 – Achtung Baby
With the release of Achtung Baby, U2 not only provided us with one of their greatest albums ever, they also provided us with one of their greatest songs ever---“One.” This song was a ballad to end all ballads, and to this day, it can still be played numerous times in a row without getting old. However, that wasn’t the only gem on U2’s magnificent Acthung Baby. “The Fly,” “Mysterious Ways,” and the rarely praised (but equally fantastic) “So Cruel” all were included on Achtung Baby. Other than The Joshua Tree, this may have been the band’s greatest release to that point.

Guns N Roses – Use Your Illusion I & II
The epitome of rock and roll was released in 1991 when Guns N Roses gave the world two massive albums --- Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II. These records were nothing short of perfection, and rivaled albums that even the late greats (like Led Zeppelin) had ever released in their career. If Appetite For Destruction put Guns N Roses on the map, it was Use Your Illusion I & II that launched the band into the untouchable superstardom ionosphere. Never had a band’s album release been so highly anticipated. And when the records came out, they did not disappoint. Each album is a specially crafted work of art and a brilliant beauty. If Guns N Roses hadn’t imploded shortly after the Use Your Illusion Tour, there’s no telling what additional magic they could have made. Thankfully, they left us with two of the greatest rock records to ever be recorded.

Nirvana – Nevermind
Often referred to as the band that marched in the grunge explosion (and executed the death of hair metal at the same time) Nirvana released their major label debut, Nevermind in 1991. Nevermind was an album unlike any other. Never before had we heard such magnificent noise emulating from a rock band. From "Smells Like Teen Spirit" to "In Bloom," Nirvana changed the entire culture of music with one small record. The world of rock and roll would never be the same.

Pearl Jam – Ten
One of my favorite bands unleashed their debut album on the world, and ironically enough, I wasn’t even sure I was going to buy it. I felt that Pearl Jam was an overhyped band trying to cash in on the success of Nirvana. Back in 1991 I was more of a Nirvana fan than a Pearl Jam fan, which seems rather comical to me now. When I finally did purchase a copy of Ten, I wasn’t all that impressed. Sure, “Alive” was a great song, and “Black” was a ballad to be remembered forever, but overall, I wasn’t certain about the disc. Thankfully I gave it a chance, and over time it became one of my favorite albums as Pearl Jam became one of my favorite bands.

Red Hot Chili Peppers – Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magik
Sell outs. That’s how many of their fans labeled the Red Hot Chili Peppers when they released one of their best albums ever (and their greatest album up until that point in their career), Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magik. It wasn’t necessarily the band’s fault that their new sound caught on with such a vengeance. The Red Hot Chili Peppers were searching for a new vibe to take their music to the next level. With producer Rick Rubin, they found that sound and shortly after the record’s release, scores of new fans found the band. With stellar tracks like “Under The Bridge,” “Suck My Kiss” and the title track, The Red Hot Chili Peppers showed the world that they were poised to be the next great thing in rock music.

R.E.M. – Out Of Time
When R.E.M. released their massive single, “Losing My Religion,” it was obvious that this album had to be part of my collection. Here was a song that you couldn’t get away from in 1991. If the radio was turned on, “Losing My Religion” was heard. If MTV was tuned in, “Losing My Religion” was heard. It was a monster hit for a magnificent band and it was the heart to one of their greatest albums. While Document may have brought the band a lot of new fans, and Crush led them into the pop revolution, it was Out Of Time that showed the depth of the band. R.E.M. was more than just a pop hit producing group--- they were a band with soul. That message was delivered on Out Of Time.

Metallica – Metallica (The Black Album)
“Enter Sandman.” “Sad But True.” “Unforgiven.” The list of great songs goes on and on. In 1991, Metallica released an album that went on to become one of the greatest selling records of all time. While the hardcore Metallica fans were somewhat disappointed by the commercialism of the album, there can be no denying how sensational the black album is. Even after all these years, the album holds up and could conquer most records that are being released today. If there is any album that deserves a 20th anniversary edition, it is Metallica’s self-titled disc.

20 years later, the memories of the music are still going strong. There haven’t been many years like 1991 in regards to so much elite music being released. What was your favorite album of 1991? What albums do you think need the 20th anniversary treatment?

New Music Monday Featuring The Glitch Mob, Memphis Crawl, and Money First

Welcome to another edition of New Music Monday. Cousin Ryo has some excellent selections for you this week to get your feet moving, your hands clapping, and your blood flow circulating. What better way is there to start the week?

The Glitch Mob – We Can Make The World Stop
Up first for this edition of New Music Monday is The Glitch Mob with “We Can Make The World Stop.” This is an incredible dance tune with an amazing beat that you are bound to listen to multiple times. I know that I did. A very catchy tune, “We Can Make The World Stop” will have you looking into The Glitch Mob with much more curiosity.



Memphis Crawl – Wildflower Annie
Up next is something a little harder. With a taste of southern rock blended with heavy metal, Memphis Crawl have hit a home run with “Wildflower Annie.” Check out the single below and see for yourself. This is some great rock and roll!







Money First – We Soaring
We close out this edition of New Music Monday with the incredible single, “We Soaring” by Money First. What a fantastic hip-hop tune this is! It reminds me a little of old school DMX, which is a great thing. Hailing from Trenton, New Jersey, Money First is a young and hungry hip-hop group backed by Block Starz Music. I see big things for the future of this group and you will too. Give “We Soaring” a listen!





Glitch Mob, Memphis Crawl, and Money First --- You rock!

Friday's Rockin' Roundup - High School Reunion Edition

Tomorrow I will be attending my 20-year high school reunion. I know it’s hard to believe that your cousin Ryo is really that old, but it’s true. I have mixed feelings about the fact that twenty years have passed since my high school graduation day.

While there is a lot of nostalgia in attending my reunion, there are also some mixed feelings of uncertainty. Reunions can serve as a reinforcement of all that we have accomplished in life, but they can also serve as a reminder of all that we have not achieved. In high school dreams are endless, the sky is the limit. And a lot of us really believed that we were going to have it all---fame, fortune, and a life much different from anyone else.

While I love the fact that I’ve been chasing my dreams with full force lately, I still have a tendency to look around at all that I have yet to do. A 20-year reunion is just a harsh reminder of how fast the time goes. That just leads me down a road of doubt and uncertainty, which is a place I do not visit very often.

Yes, it will be nice to see classmates from yesteryear. It will be nice to catch up and learn what everyone has been up to. It will be nice to reminisce and banter about our glory days. When it’s all said and done, however, we have to continue to move forward. So, I will try my best to enjoy the night for what it is, and then move on and move forward.

Here’s what rocked this week:

No Anniversary For The Monkees
And without reason or explanation, The Monkees have cancelled their anniversary tour. Personally, I think the band was ready to kill each other. Sometimes, you just can’t go back to what you once had. I guess there are a lot of very unhappy 60 year old ladies this week.

Lollapalooza Wrap Up
The 20th Lollapalooza was held last weekend and the reports all appeared positive. Here’s a nice wrap up of the entire weekend in just a few hundred words. I did not realize that the Cars were performing at Lollapalooza this year. I also didn’t realize that Big Audio Dynamite got back together. Perhaps I need to check up on my music news a little more carefully, or get a better memory.

Gavin DeGraw Assaulted
This is a real shame. Gavin DeGraw was hospitalized after being assaulted in New York City by unknown suspects. And apparently, the attackers were not after his money. It all just sounds a little odd to me. Here’s hoping that he has a quick recovery.

Big Boi Arrested For Illegal Substances
Apparently, Outkast’s Big Boi likes to get high and then get his freak on. Nothing wrong with that, I guess. However, it would bother me less if he and Andre 3000 would get back together and work on a new album. I know there are rumors for a 2012 disc, but I want something concrete.

Snoop Dogg Signs Block Starz Music Artist Lynda Sayyah

Block Starz Music LLC, www.blockstarzmusic.com, is proud to announce the signing of beautiful Indianapolis, Indiana recording artist Lynda Sayyah to rap icon Snoop Dogg's newly-formed Dogg Town Music Group.

Lynda, whose debut single "Tickin'" is featured on Block Starz Music's first all-female compilation, "She Got Next 2011" (June 21), is a trilingual (Spanish, Arabic, and English) singer with 5-octave range. Voted "Indy's Sexiest Musician" by Metromix Magazine, Lynda's sound is a fusion of Pop, Rock, R&B, and contemporary Middle Eastern melodies combined with lyrics that reflect her own life struggles.

"I come from a very strict Arab-Muslim family," says Lynda, who is of Palestinian and German descent. "I grew up feeling suffocated by double standards against women and just trying to be a normal kid. A lot of my music exudes these struggles and I think a lot of girls of every nationality can relate to me."

Lynda Sayyah's undeniable beauty and talent immediately caught the eyes and ears of Dogg Town Music Group, a new Los Angeles/Long Beach, California-based record company founded in 2010 by Jason "Cup" Brown, his cousin Calvin "Snoop Dogg" Broadus, Charles "Beach Dogg" Howard II, and Shatto Brown, who promptly signed her to the upstart label.

"We are looking for one timers or one-in-a-million talent, meaning talent that can only exist once in a lifetime,” says Dogg Town COO Shatto Brown of the decision to sign Lynda as the First Lady Of DTMG. "There can only be one Michael Jackson, one Madonna, one Snoop Dogg, one Metallica -- we only want talent like that. Lynda is every bit of that. She is an amazing vocalist, beautiful, a great songwriter, and she deserves the opportunity to have the world know all of this."

In addition to Lynda Sayyah, the Dogg Town Music roster includes rap artists Poppa Heat, M-Dot, and the label is currently working on a merger with T-Pain's Nappy Boy Productions to release new music acts.

Lynda Sayyah's explosive dance single, "Tickin'", will be available for download on iTunes June 21 as part of Block Starz Music's anticipated "She Got Next 2011" compilation EP.

Guilty Music Pleasures

As a rocker, it’s hard for me to admit that there are some pop/dance songs that I really like. I’m talking songs that I jam to the same way that I’d bang my head to Metallica. Not unlike that of Ashlee Simpson or Perry Como, here are some of my current guilty pleasures. Now I’m going to have to crank up the Iron Maiden just to feel like a dude again.

Katy Perry – Teenage Dream
I know it’s all auto-tuned and over-produced, but I can’t help myself. When this song is on I just kind of jam to it. And look, according to you tube, this video has been seen over 56 million times. What the hell?



Lady GaGa – Poker Face
Since the first time I heard it, I liked this song. I can’t help it. When this song plays, my ass shakes. Even though she’s quite odd, I do think that Lady Gaga has talent. Over 69 million views on this one.



Diddy – Dirty Money Comin’ Home
You can blame the New York Knicks for this one. They constantly play this song over a video montage of Carmello Anthony’s first game as a New York Knick. Now I’m hooked on it. Only 29 million views on this video, but it is newer.

2011 Grammy Predictions

Once again, it’s that time of the year, Grammy time. Every year I watch the Grammys with much anticipation. I look forward to the performances, the awards, and the speeches. It’s a night to celebrate the music we all love and sometimes it’s a celebration of the music we love to hate. The Grammys are a real treat that I enjoy year after year. As in years past, it’s time for my predictions on who will win the Grammy.

Want to see my track record for predictions? Here’s a link to my 2010 predictions, and a link to my recap of the 2009 show. The Grammy awards are on Sunday, February 13th, a mere two weeks away. Tune in to see how your cousin Ryo’s predictions turned out.

Record Of The Year
My first problem with this category is that Empire State Of Mind came out in 2009 if I’m not mistaken. I can remember hearing it being performed during the Yankees celebration parade for winning the 2009 World Series. So then, how is this song nominated for a 2010 Grammy?

Nominees:
Nothin’ On You – B.O.B. featuring Bruno Mars
Love The Way You Lie – Eminem featuring Rhianna
F*** You – Cee Lo Green
Empire State of Mind – Jay Z and Alicia Keys
Need You Now – Lady Antebellum

Ryo Wants:
Empire State Of Mind. Even if it technically shouldn’t be eligible for this category, it is my favorite song of the five. It’s also a song that I can listen to over and over and over again, especially when Alicia Keys kicks it into high.

The Grammy Will Go To:
Eminem. I expect that he will win most of the awards that he is nominated for.

Album Of The Year
This category is stacked and probably the hardest to pick from. There are some excellent albums to choose from by some incredible artists.

Nominees:
The Suburbs – Arcade Fire
Recovery – Eminem
Need You Know – Lady Antebellum
The Fame Monster – Lady Gaga
Teenage Dream – Katy Perry

Ryo Wants:
The Suburbs. Arcade Fire put out an exceptional album that is a large part of my current rotation. If you get one Grammy nominated album before the show, this is the one to buy.

The Grammy Will Go To:
Lady Gaga – The Fame Monster. While I respect that Eminem’s disc will give her a run for her money, I still think this is the album that will take home the trophy.

Song Of The Year
There’s quite a different blend for song of the year. Just seeing Ray Lamontagne nominated makes me feel great. He’s an artist that doesn’t get nearly the amount of recognition he deserves. And of course, Eminem is nominated in this category as well.

Nominees:
Beg Steal or Borrow – Ray Lamontagne
F*** You – Cee Lo Green
The House That Built Me – Miranda Lambert
Love The Way You Lie – Eminem
Need You Now – Lady Antebellum

Ryo Wants:
Beg Steal or Borrow. I love Ray Lamontagne and the rest of the world needs to recognize what a great artist he is.

The Grammy Will Go To:
Eminem, who will win most of the categories he is nominated for. Fans love him. Critics love him. The Grammys will love him too.

Best Hard Rock Performance
This is a category that’s right up my alley. The best hard rock performance is an honor to all those head banging rockers that seem to get a bad rap in the music world. That’s something I never understood. Rock music has been around for a long time, and it would be nice if people would stop being so scared of it. Just because someone listens to Manowar doesn’t mean they are a killer or a stalker. It just means they have great taste in music.

Nominees:
A Looking In View – Alice In Chains
Let Me Hear You Scream – Ozzy Osbourne
Black Rain – Soundgarden
Between The Lines – Stone Temple Pilots
New Fang – Them Crooked Vultures

Ryo Wants:
Let Me Hear You Scream. The Oz man deserves it and this is the best song of the five, hands down.

The Grammy Will Go To:
Most likely Them Crooked Vultures, which is an absolute shame. For a super group, I didn’t think they were that super. Grammy loves stars though, and with a member of Led Zeppelin as part of the band, expect to see them raise the trophy.

Best Metal Performance:
What’s better than the best hard rock performance category? Why, the best metal performance category, of course. Even heavier than its hard rock cousin, metal music is a real motivational tool perfect for getting people to move their ass. Turn up Slayer next time you want to work out and see if your cardio doesn’t raise by a ton!

Nominees:
El Dorado – Iron Maiden
Let The Guilt Go – Korn
In Your Words – Lamb Of God
Sudden Death – Megadeath
World Painted Blood – Slayer

Ryo Wants:
El Dorado by Iron Maiden. This is purely based on my biased love of the band. That doesn’t mean that El Dorado isn’t a great song, because it certainly is, however, I just want to see Maiden walk out with a Grammy.

The Grammy Will Go To:
I have to think that Iron Maiden will win this category. They have the best song to choose from and they are a beloved English band.

Best Rock Song
Ok, let the arguments begin. Yes, some of these songs/artists aren’t really “rock” per se. However, where else could you put them? I’m willing to give Grammy a break here and just roll with the fact that Neil Young and Muse are “rock.” To me, they’re more pop/mainstream, but no one on the board asked for my clarification prior to releasing the nominees.

Nominees:
Angry World - Neil Young
Little Lion Man – Mumford & Sons
Radioactive – Kings Of Leon
Resistance – Muse
Tighten Up – The Black Keys

Ryo Wants:
Resistance by Muse. Even If it’s not pure “rock,” it is a great song by an incredible band. The more I hear Muse, the more I really love them.

The Grammy Will Go To:
Angry World. Neil Young wins on reputation alone.

Best Rock Album
This is another category where you could argue if the choices are really “rock.” Add in the fact that Backspacer came out in September of 2009 and Mojo is just an awful record, and I have to wonder who is picking these nominees.

Nominees:
Emotion & Commotion – Jeff Beck
The Resistance – Muse
Backspacer – Pearl Jam
Mojo – Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Le Noise – Neil Young

Ryo Wants:
Even though it shouldn’t be in this category, I want to see Pearl Jam win the Grammy. This is another purely biased decision. Backspacer is a fantastic album and Pearl Jam is one of my favorite bands, so why wouldn’t I pick them?

The Grammy Will Go To:
Mr. Young wins again.

And there you have it, my picks for the 2011 Grammys. If you’d like to see a listing of all the categories and bands/songs/records nominated, visit http://www.grammy.com/

Just like last year, I will be tweeting up my thoughts during the Grammy show. Follow me on Twitter and join in the fun! www.twitter.com/ryovie

Gangstagrass - Lightning On The Strings, Thunder On The Mic

Fresh. Exhilarating. Magnificent. These are all fitting adjectives to describe Lightning On The Stings, Thunder On The Mic, the bluegrass hip-hop amalgam by Gangstagrass. However, there is one adjective preferred above all others – stunning. That is the initial reaction after a first listen to this album.

The idea that the combination of bluegrass banjo picking, fiddle playing, and foot stomping accompanied by turntable scratching and rap lyrics would be a grand hybrid is absurd! Except for one thing – it really works. This highly intelligent cocktail is not something that anyone with a turntable and a banjo can pull off though; it takes highly skilled professionals with precise timing and talent. In other words, don’t try this at home, kids!

Fortunately for the listeners’ ears, Gangstagrass is full of exceptional musicians. Leading the way is Rench, an acoustic guitar playing madman that provides smooth harmony vocals and lays out all of the beats for the music. His partner in song for this record is T.O.N.E-Z, a talented hip-hop artist with extreme, fresh rhyme schemes and a great voice to rap them out.

Surrounding the duo are a banjo, fiddle, and a turntable DJ that provides the backdrop for the hip-hop mix which blends with the bluegrass style. Interesting does not even come close to describing the sound or the songs. This is downright superb. Hip-hop beats over bluegrass banjo is a brilliant touch.

While Rench’s guitar work is solid and sound defining, his vocals are the perfect contrast to T.O.N.E-Z’s, who raps hard and tight while writing deep, meaningful rhymes. Songs like I’m Gonna Put You Down and Put Your Hands Up High showcase the duos talent on vocals, rhyme schemes, and overall song enjoyment.

With the exception of Big Branch, which is worn down with a repetitive chorus that is more grating than fun, there is not a bad song on this album. Every track is pure enjoyment. Neither of the musical styles comes to the forefront, allowing both the hip-hop and the bluegrass their time in the spotlight. The marriage, while seemingly strange up front, is perfect when recorded.

What really stand out are the instrumentals. Both Click Ol’ Gun and My Enemies Lay Beneath The Prairie may not contain any vocals at all, but what they do have is foot-stomping power. With Rench providing fantastic acoustic guitar and Prepmode working the turntables, these two songs put smiles on faces and have feet moving on the dance floor. Rounded out by Matt Check’s beautiful banjo and Jason Cade’s fantastic fiddle these instrumental tracks are simply breathtaking.

Urban gangster. Old school cowboy. The two have met and the pairing has resulted in one of the greatest albums of the year. While Kid Rock may have been the father of mixing hard rock and rap and bringing it to the mainstream, Rench and T.O.N.E.-Z are the original bluegrass, gansta rap group, bringing Gangstagrass to the forefront of the modern radio world. Never before has a sound like this been experienced.

If there’s one album that you need to experience this summer, GangstaGrass is it. You will be amazed by the talent contained on this record. After multiple listens and several spins, you will still find yourself going back to this record again and again. The uniqueness of the style demands repeat plays, and obliging this request is a treat, not a chore.

Ryo’s Rating: 9 (out of 10)
