I remember when I first heard this song--on the college radio station I listened to, the DJ decided to throw this one in amid the Soul Asylum and Jesus Jones songs.

Agreed! The Boomer generation invented rap as well as punk, though we tend to associate it with GenX. Public Enemy was late wave Boomers and early wave Xers (Generation Jones as they are sometimes called).
