First Impressions: The 50 Best Hip-Hop Intro Tracks

49. Public Enemy – “Bring The Noise”
Produced By The Bomb Squad ~ Album: It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back (1988)

As that first sound bite of “Too black, too strong” is heard and then without a second wasted with Flava Flav encouraging Chuck D to show the suckas what he’s got the beat has already dropped and Chuck is rapidly dropping knowledge.

Revolutionary music needs a strong start and that’s exactly what PE and The Bomb Squad provide with “Bring The Noise”.

This is music that was and still is ahead of its’ time so even listening to this track in 2013 is bound to get some rallying happening.

Memorable Lines:

Bass! How low can you go?
Death row, what a brother knows
Once again, back is the incredible
The rhyme animal
The untenable D, Public Enemy Number One
