Those of us who grew up in the 70s and 80s knew how big of a deal this collaboration was. Rap and Metal just did not mingle at all. It was unheard of. I was 20 when this song released and appreciated the big middle finger Anthrax and Public Enemy flashed to that sentiment. They paved the way.
One of the greatest Rap Metal collaborations.
The energy from this song is incredible! Could power a city for a year!
I had no idea how much I needed this until I just witnessed it. Two TITANS of their genres come together to crack the very fabric of space and time, and holy shit this is good weed.
I had no idea that Scott Ian was rapping the third verse. Dude's got great bars for a thrasher
I like Scott Ian's verses because you can tell he's rapping basically at the upper edge of his ability. Like those are clearly the fastest and most complex bars he's capable of spitting on beat without messing up.
I went to the PE/Anthrax concert in Orange County, 1991. That shit was awesome! Primus and Young Black Teenagers were the opening acts. Everyone there had a good time, PE and Anthrax closed the concert with this joint..
I was 9 years old when I first heard this track on THPS 2. I played a lot with friends on the PS1. I didn't know good music like this existed. Real game-changer for me.
Loved this a kid....now as a 43 year old man, this colab was a game changer!!! Mad Props!!!!
Still as fresh as when it was first released. I'm a lifelong metal fan, but have also been a PE fan since Yo Bumrush the Show, so this hit really hard and, let's face it, completely changed things. So many bands would not exist if it were not for this crossover 🤘
this song is absolutely timeless.
We need this attitude back in the US!
Bring tha Noize > Walk this way
Two favourite genres combined. My fuckin' generation. Born in '72.
Man oh man this is still absolute fire after all these years. Major cred to Thrax for making this happen and having the guts to do it. Stone cold classic here people.
This one was a starter for a whole music genre. There is NO doubt about it. Bring tha noize was the first Rap track in Rap and the metal charts. Voted as best metal track of the year. The most covered rap track by metal bands. This Shhh was GROUNDBREAKING!
When two artforms collide, one enlightened world, one brotherhood. ✌🏼🤟🏼
Back in the day, especially in Philly, Metal & Rap were underground because it wasn't played on everyday radio like today. Metal on Saturday nights & Rap on Sundays. Maybe cause I'm 52, grew up in the city & in a mixed hood, we listened to all kinds of music so I've been a fan of both genres for forever. Got cassettes of both Rap & Metal taped from 80s radio in Philly. Great time to be a teenager. Got to see both PE & Anthrax. Still got my Fear of A Black Planet shirt ✊🏼
this was the time when Rap/Hiphop vs Rock/Punk/Metal were still in rivalry.... and its a very big deal to see a collaboration like this...
Why is no one talking about THPS2. This is iconic to my childhood. Finish school for the day, PS1, THPS2, Rodney Mullen, School Southern Cali, this song. Chillin.
