It Takes a Nation of Millions vs Straight Outta Compton - Part 1

<p>We start a new clash this week, taking a trip to 1988 as we take on two of the most influential hip-hop albums of all time. First up it's Public Enemy whose second album 'It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold us Back' goes under the microscope. As we dissect the album with our usual irreverence we count the number of James Brown songs sampled on this album, marvel at just how many times the tracks on this album have themselves been sampled, and remind ourselves of Flava Flav's stay in the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house...</p> <p>We have another instalment of our 'Can't get you out of my head' feature in which Kev discusses what happens when Mick Jagger and Dave Grohl come together to record a song (nothing good), and Tim reveals why he will never watch 'Battlefield Earth' (because it looks terrible). We also talk about some stuff we like.</p> <p>Also this week:</p> <p>- Tim tells the story of how he came to be in possession of Chuck D's hat;</p> <p>- Kev vetoes a potentially titanic future clash between an all time NBA great and a Premier League legend; and</p> <p>- Tim confesses to a murky past of Durstism...</p> <p>This. Is. ALBUM CLASH!</p>
