Bring the Noise is a song by the hip hop group Public Enemy. It was included on the soundtrack of the 1987 film Less Than Zero and was also released as a single that year. It later became the first song on the group s 1988 album It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back. The song s lyrics, most of which are delivered by Chuck D with interjections from Flavor Flav, include boasts of Public Enemy s prowess, an endorsement of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, retorts to unspecified critics, and arguments for rap as a legitimate musical genre on par with rock. The lyrics also have a remarkable metrical complexity, making extensive use of meters like dactylic hexameter. The title phrase appears in the chorus. The song includes several shoutouts to artists like RunDMC, Eric B, LL Cool J.
