Where were you back in 1987? If you were a hip-hop head you were probably busy taking in the revolutionary sounds of Public Enemy. Now, almost 2 decades later, many of us still reflect on the days when Chuck D and Flava Flav projected their message through music. So as a treat for hip-hop fans around the globe, Music Video Distributors and SlamJAMZ are pleased to announce thehome viewing release of Public Enemy – It Takes a Nation: The First London Invasion 1987 for worldwide distribution on DVD/CD.
This DVD follows Public Enemy on their very first embarkment upon the Euro-UK shores during the Def Jam tour of 1987. Thatcher was Prime Minister, Nelson Mandela was still in a South African prison, Reagan was US president, the Wall was still up and a King holiday was far away. PE stepped into this world
with plenty to say, vintage interviews, and the incendiary performance.
