    • Abstract:
      The article reports that on February 25 2005 and February 26, 2005, a two-day seminar at New York University (NYU) will examine the making of what music critics and hip-hop aficionados widely regard as one of hip-hop's seminal albums, Public Enemy's "It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back." The 1988 Def Jam recording was a critical and commercial success, spinning off the controversial singles "Don't Believe the Hype" and "Bring the Noise." The seminar will feature a documentary film of Public Enemy's 1988 and 2002 tours of Great Britain as well as panel discussions on the making of the album and the political climate that inspired the artists.
