Public Enemy
Pip Skid
One of the most respected rap duo’s of all time, Public Enemy has helped to shape the very foundations of the hip hop industry. Formed back in 1982, Public Enemy (or PE) has a reputation for politically charged lyrics, criticism for the American media and issues of concern for the African American community.
These seasoned elites of the rap world saw the spotlight as early as 1988 with their second album It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back. Chart topping hits, critical acclaim, and a list of ‘firsts’ for the hip-hop genre litter the list of achievements of Public Enemy. All this in addition to the various individual successes of both Flava Flav and Chuck D.
May 18th will see the dynamic duo attack Winnipeg’s Burton Cummings Theatre. Near 30 year veterans of the style, Public Enemy promises to top the list of great hip-hop shows of 2010 in Winnipeg.
Winnipeg’s own Pip Skid will be opening for Public Enemy. Make sure to check him out as well fresh off the release of his newest album “Skid Row”
