We pull a classic episode from the archives, back to episode 20, where we take a look at one of the most important bands in Hip Hop, and a cover that couldn’t possibly work, but does. 911 Is A Joke, originally by Public Enemy, covered by Duran Duran.  Outro music (which is new to the episode) is Eve of Destruction, a rare cover by Public Enemy.
