Public Enemy's "Fight the Power" will hold a place in pop music's canon long after its authors have left our collective memory, even after hip-hop morphs into whatever new form it will inevitably take. Like "Do the Right Thing," the Spike Lee film to which it was tied, the song broke at a crucial period in America's struggle with race, capturing both the psychological and social conflicts of the time.
