Tricky - Black Steel

Back


Cover of an old Public Enemy track, taken from his album "Maxinquaye." The lyrics seem to have an even greater meaning now than when originally written...

feel the raw "MAGIC" that is "MAXINQUAYE"

I am familiar with the original Public Enemy version and this version. Hmm, let's see: They have the same lyrics, and therefore carry the same message, so I'm not going to get into that. This version has some better music to it, so that's a plus. Not being a fan of either PE or Tricky, I think I can safely say this. Then we can add the subjective comparison based on liking male or female vocals better. I won't do that, but I will point out that Topley-Bird sounds a bit more understandable.

If you scavenge the internet, there's actually footage of Chuck D performing this song with Tricky. So I'd say that this version is officially sanctioned by the man himself. Try searching 'Tricky "Chuck D"' on Youtube.

I'm sorry, but only Public Enemy can do Public enemy. There is only one and this is clearly not it.

Pre Flava Flav of Love I might have agreed. Now, not so much.

LOL! what a great comment. Flav went from respect to an absolute buffoon. Also I believe Tricky is paying homage to Public Enemy not trying to "do" them,
