In this thread we are comparing 2 albums ONLY:

"It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back" vs. "Aquemini"

Which one to you prefer?

Subject: Re: Public Enemy vs. Outkast Thu 27 Aug 2009, 10:48 am

I give it to Nations, but Outkast is my favorite hip hop group of all time.

Yeah this is a lot toughter than either of you two make it out to be.

i take Nations... but if someone prefers Aquemini i dont really see a problem there, both undisputed classics, although Nations... is superior imo

It is a tough match-up. I don't think I ever spoke negatively about PE. It may seem like that to Powell, who has trouble comprehending words, sentences, and paragraphs. To put it more into perspective, I'd rank Nations over ATLiens, but not Aquemini.

at Aquemini over ATLiens

I vote for Nations; my #1

I like Aquemini better than ATLiens as well. But neither is as good as Nations Of Millions, which is my 4th favorite album of all time.

This is really close but I'll take Aquemini. At one point it was my favorite album period.

Only homo sissies take Aqeumini over Nations. nations IS hiphop. it is its essence. Aquemini is great but not even in the same league as Nations IMO.

Well the score is 8 to 5 in favor of Nations (at the moment). The original point that sparkled the poll has already been proven - it's not so crazy that someone would prefer Aquemini over Nations.

Aquemini is probably my favorite Southern album, but Nation Of Millions is just one of those revolutionary albums that will have replay value for eternity. Not that Aquemini won't, but Nation Of Millions is on a Thriller-like level.

Aquemini is a pretty chick, but Nation Of Millions is a fuckin DIMEPIECE so PE wins this battle.

I'll take Public Enemy.

I'm a fan of Outkast and all, but COME ON MAN! Shocked

No offense to anyone, but it seems like most folks who aint from down south like Aquemini the best out of Outkast's catalog. Maybe cuz it has more universal appeal? I would listen to Southernplayalistic... and ATLiens over Aquemini all day. Has anyone else noticed this??

I'm not sure what you mean by that. I'm from the south and Aquemini is an easy choice for me followed by ATLiens.

I understand Skinny... Aquemini was their breakout party so to say...Aquemini and Stankonia made them cool to rich college kids... I think longtime fans tend to sway towards their earlier shit... it's all dope though...

I voted Aquemini... simply cause I can... I feel 20 years from now it will have more replay value while PE will sound even more dated since their message and struggle seems very lost and has been for a while...

all that said - Chuck D and Outkast are both firmly in my Top Ten GOAT list...

Southernplayalistic is just about dead even with Aquemini to me. It was my favorite for the longest time until I really got into Aquemini.

Im not trying to talk shit or anything but thats just what Ive noticed for the most part.

I see the respect for Chuck SRP and that's a great look but do you as a minority just like myself really feel that the messages on Nations are really "dated"?? how do those types of messages EVER get dated?? not sure I completely understand that comment and just wanted clarification on it....

those messages to me will be good forever or at least until the Black/Hispanic powers are in control of everything..REAL talk man!

Guest

Aquemini already sounds dated, and Nations is timeless baby bubba

Subject: Re: Public Enemy vs. Outkast Sat 29 Aug 2009, 12:37 pm

Agreed ^^^^^
