Bring the Noise 2000: I found this "industrial megamix" over at ShutEmDown (a repository of all things Public Enemy). Apparently Chuck D originally put these remixes on the official PE site in 1998 but was forced to remove them by Polygram. To be honest, I haven't liked much from PE since Apocalypse 91, but, as evidenced by the article below, Chuck was dead on about the future of the mp3:
From an article (from 1998)on the same site:
Public Enemy leader Chuck D is speaking out about the record industry's stance against the MP3 file format. He tells Billboard Bulletin that the Def Jam act's attempt to post "Bring The Noise 2000" -- an unreleased collection of songs and remixes -- for free digital download at www.public-enemy.com was an act of defiance against the music industry. Four of the set's 27 songs were posted in MP3; the tracks were removed from the site shortly after news broke of their availability.
"That we don't like the way [PolyGram] has been handling the album, that goes without saying," says Chuck D of Def Jam's parent. "But the bigger picture is the entire industry and the legal aspect of the game skewing toward executives and against the creative. There are tons of artists that are having the same problems, but now we're in a situation where the industry can't pimp this technology like they've pimped every other form of technology. [The labels] invented the wild, wild west, and now that everybody's got a gun, what are they gonna do?"
Neither Def Jam nor PolyGram would comment.
Noted hip-hop producer Gary G-Wiz, who worked with Chuck D on the MP3 postings, claims that the project is a promotional effort and will not hurt retail sales. Chuck D says he will use MP3 again in the future.
"I'm gonna ride the MP3 like a mutha-f----n' cowboy riding a burro," says the veteran rapper.

Man, nothing gets me amped up like Classic PE. This mix is fucking hot! No one brings it like vintage Bomb Squad. I have been bumping this steadily when I workout and drive to and fro. Thanks for this one.
