Public Enemy; Power To The People and The Beats: Public Enemy's Greatest Hits (Def Jam/Universal).(Sound recording review)
GIVEN THE WAY GREATEST HITS COMPILATIONS are often thrown together by any label with money to license music rights from an artist's parent company, a collection featuring the work of a group as influential and controversial as Public Enemy would be rightly viewed with suspicion. Still, Universal (Def Jam Recordings's current distributor) has managed to release a not-quite-as-expansive-as-deserved, but competent snapshot of a group that for better or worse became the sonic template and barometer of verity for just about every major hip-hop label.
