let me post that classic radio version
Rebel without a Pause saved PE they were done without that song (at least in the states UK loved them)
Mr. Magic dissed the shyt outta them
The production was ahead of its time but Hip-Hop advanced so fast back then
Chuck came out kicking the freshest raps of 1982
"Get a job like your mother, I heard she fixes old dryers"
and sounded like a damn dinosaur by 1987
"No more music by the suckas"
Rebel still knocks in the car today though. Love that song and album
Their first album went gold and I had it here in the south from a small ass city. They were definitely known after the first album. The only problem is that it was under promoted. And as chuck stated, it was supposed to be released in 86, but due to the success of the Beastie Boys, Def Jam pushed back the release to early 87. I personally didn't buy this cassette, my cousin gave it to me when he introduced me to them in 87. He let me borror the cassette(beige tape) and I listened to it so much, he allowed me to keep it. Then Nation of millions dropped, then Fear of a black planet. They never played them on mainstream radio that I heard. The first song that I remember females(they basically control music) loving was "911 is a joke". My female cousins knew the words to it, and it was on the radio when they'd actually play hip hop one hour a day or Friday and Saturdays. I personally hated that song, but it was nominated for a Soul Train award. When that controversy hit in 89 with Griff talking about the european jew, white folks trying to cancel PE actually made them even more popular along with the release of Do the right Thing.

I can remember hearing Rebel without a Pause for the first time. A friend of mine had the tape in his walkman in the library at middle school. Craig had the tape with me and Antonio sitting a table with him and he played it. I still remember where we were sitting at during that time. The memoires
