Public Enemy

I'm gonna go with the debut ever so slightly over Apocalypse '91.....both joints are bangin 5 star efforts though IMO!

What Powell said

I'm going with Apocalypse 91, since it's my favorite PE album.

Both are sleep inducing in 2010.

Yo! Bumrush The Show wins.

That's bullshit man. You don't seem to like anything old school. I'd take either of these albums over the vast majority of post 2000 albums easily.

I don't see how there is any way to repeatedly spin these second rate old school albums and keep up with new shit.

ITANOMTHUB
FOABP


those the only ones worth my hard-earned music time nowadays. There are hundreds of great albums, plus new ones coming out or ones I missed I have to heard. My music listening time is just a couple hours a day, sometimes less.

And you just don't know how to find music on your own without recs or mainstream push it seems, KJ. I wouldn't take them over the vast majority of all. Of mainstream stuff, sure, but the mainstream is for kids and whities.

It has to be 85% or more personal connection. Because I went back and bought Yo Bumrush and took that shit back alomst just as quick. I did own Strikes Back on tape when it droppeed but it never was that good to me save for Can't Truss It of course and 2-3 other tight ass trks. But as albums they are average as hell to these ears.

That still DOES NOT make the other two albums sleep inducing. I listen to new shit, but those two albums are classic. Nothing in 2010 is fucking with them, nor are many this past decade.

With those statements, It's obvious that you're not more than a casual PE fan but whatever. Those albums are bangin to this listener.

smh. KJ. KRob has said many times that PE is one of his favorite groups. Just because he doesn't like an album, doesn't mean he's not a fan. I don't like Independent's Day, save for a few tracks, and I'm still a big Royce fan.

He only likes two PE albums, and he thinks wack ass Willie D is better than Chuck D. That sounds like a casual fan to me.

I'll take their debut but you can't front on PE.

Not true Puff the Psychic Dragon. I like 4 PE albums and I prefer Willie D over Chuck D. I was just saying I could prove Will may be betta than Chuck D on certain things. Now you have said before you don't think Mr Dennis is wack but now he is?

Rhymin with the GB's he sounds dope. Rhymin by himself not so much. Only a Willie Dennis stan would take him over Chuck D.

Besides obviously Nation Of Millions and Fear Of A Black Planet, what other PE albums do you like? Yo Bumrush and Apoc 91 are easily their next best two.

Am I the only one here who gives Apocalypse 91 4.5 stars?

Maybe, I give it like 4.8 or something like that. Yo Bumrush as well. I prefer the debut by the slightest of margins imaginable.

PE's first 3 albums get the coveted 5 star rating from me.

I like the different sound Paris gave them on Rebirth Of A Nation and I really like How To Sell Soul.

Apocalypse 91 easily

LOL...actually, their debut almost falls into this category for me. It has it's old school charm, but I can't even bump and enjoy the album all the way through. Their later work just held so much greater production.

Your stupid ass has never heard anything made before 1993 so shut the fuck up.

ok hippo, whatever you say hoe.

Bumrush the Show is the shiiiit...but I can't argue with Kevin. I don't doubt that personal association is what does it for me

I dig '91. If you listen to it from from the first track to the last, it does the album more justice than going from Can't Truss It and skipping to Get The Fuck Outta Dodge then skipping to Nighttrain. Lost At Birth sets the whole album up nicely.


Willie D better than Chuck D? I love me someWillie D, but come on now...

Cosign on the Lost At Birth comment.

I go with Apocalypse '91, perfect album from beginning to end. Timeless hits on this one, one after another.

I'm glad you're posting, mistadave
