Synopsis

Spoiler shield

“Burn Hollywood Burn” was released as a single for PE’s third album, Fear of a Black Planet. The song is a scathing examination of stereotypes about Blacks in Hollywood films from the perspectives of Chuck D, Flavor Flav, Big Daddy Kane, and future Hollywood actor/director/producer Ice Cube, who talked about how a meeting with Lyor Cohen at Def Jam's New York office led to this collaboration and led to the Bomb Squad producing his debut album, Amerikkka's Most Wanted.
