I had previously recorded Boom! Tune of the Day daily on Instagram, so I'll be recycling some of those tunes, as well as digging for new ones... enjoy!
Public Enemy "Rebel Without A Pause" (Original Boom! Tune of the Day from November 12, 2016)
Today's Boom! Tune of the Day is "Rebel Without A Pause" by Public Enemy, from their 1987 Def Jam Recordings 12" single You're Gonna Get Yours / Rebel Without A Pause / Miuzi Weighs A Ton. It also appeared on their 1988 LP, It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back.
I first heard this song at K.C., KS teen-club, Pogo's, at about 15 years old. Usually they just played the instrumental, but occasionally the vocal mix would run. The squealing horn sample (courtesy of the The J.B.'s "The Grunt") was infectious.
This single and the LP, which came out the following year, were both fundamental in transitioning this young skate-punk into a bonafide hip-hop head!
