What does "yo bum rush the show" mean?
The title from Public Enemy's CD.... just wondering, as a non-native English speaking person.

"Bum Rush" means to "storm into an establishment" such as in a police raid.
This is supported by the lyrics of the song "We're gonna rush 'em like the Bears in the 46"
"The Show" refers to people in authority who wouldn't let them in. Again, this is deduced by the lyrics that say , "Didn't hoolar at the dollar we willin' to spend / But you took one look and wouldn't let our ass in"
As you will see, the phrase stands for standing up against the establishment after a slight:
