Sleeve Gen; Vinyl VG+. Public Enemy’s Don’t Believe the Hype is a 1988 hip-hop anthem packed with hard-hitting beats and politically charged lyricism. A standout from It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back, this track remains a powerful statement against media manipulation and injustice. This US pressing plays absolutely superbly and contains a misprint- the label states track A2 is 'The Rhythm, the Rebel' but is actually an acapella version of Rebel Without a Pause.
