Spectrum City formed as a group in 1982, and it was Chuck D's first release that got them noticed. He labeled the Tape 'Public Enemy No #1'. It would influence Run DMC and The Beastie Boys sound, who in turn would hit mainstream audiences well before they became Public Enemy in 1986.

With Terminator X on the Decks, Public Enemy quickly became the most innovative users of Mixing and Scratching Records.

This is from 1988's 'It Takes a Nation of Millions To Hold Us Back'

I've become fascinated with the History of the genre. Missed all this stuff first time round, I'd be a DJ now if i had.

Slick Rick was British, but moved to the US and started rapping in the late 70's, got huge with his debut in '87 and ended up in Jail by 1990.
