Rebirth of a Nation 2006 Album

Public Enemy Paris

This one's a mixed bag, weighed down by more lukewarm moments than you'd expect from a Paris release. No solo album of his has this many mid-tier beats. Tracks like 'Plastic Nation', 'Coinsequences', and 'Invisible Man' fall short of something extra. Still, the highlights are undeniable and never get old. The first half delivers solid material, but the energy dips noticeably at Flavor's solo cut, 'They Call Me Flavor'. As always, Paris closes strong with a fiery extended remix that ends the album on a high note. Beats: ★★★☆ Rapping/Bars: ★★★★ Hooks: ★★★☆ Best Tracks: Can't Hold Us Back, Raw Shit, Hard Truth Soldiers, Make It Hardcore, Field Nigga Boogie (XLR8R Remix)
