actually, my mom doesn't really like public enemy. although she always thought that "the guy with the clock around his neck" was kinda funny in a pretty ridiculous way.
anyhow. i think "it takes a nation ..." blows "fear of a black planet" out of the water.
any takers in this debate?

Both are great albums but I must side with my man E-Rock and go with "It Takes A Nation..." Word is P.E. is coming back!

I think your mom thought that the guy with the clock was Easy- Z.
Hard to choose between 'nation' and 'fear,' both are immense. I just have to point out that given the chance i'd listen to Apocalypse 91 first. I also own a Young MC album put out in 1996, and credit US3 for discovering the innovative mix between Jazz and Hip-hop so...

When I was in third and fourth grade I was a big rap fan, mostly just because it had bad words. But I owned some LL Cool J, Run DMC, MC Shan, Fat Boys, Beastie Boys, standard elementary school fare for the time. Then all of a sudden that short red head country singing kid from Diff'rent Strokes transfers to my school and starts wearing these Beatles shirts and next thing I know I am a full feldged Beatles freak. This spread to classic rock over the next few years, and by the time I was 15, I was the best/worst hippie/dork of all time.
Then one day, on a whim, based on nothing at all, I decided I would expand my musical horizons and get a "rap" CD again. I bought Fear of a Black Planet and started memorizing the lyrics and lip sycing in my room. I got my aggression out in ways I could never do before with "Octopus' Garden" or "Yellow Submarine". Not that the Beatles don't have any more aggressive songs, but Fear of a Black Planet really signified a major change in my personal growth, which is why I prefer it over It Takes A Nation.
That said, picture a fourteen year old white boy with zits, a mullet, and tie dyed shirt in his room rapping "Burn, hollywood, burn" and "Fight The Power" into his mirror. Brilliant, isn't it?

People think that "Set Adrift (On Memory Bliss)" was their hey day. To them I say, "Hey!" because they went on to make tens of other pretty good tracks.

i'll take nation of millions.
part of it is sentimental:
my nation tape broke and i took it out of the case and into an old maxell. i colored the "silver side" with a silver crayon.
my fear tape was a gift from my brother who taped it from his friend jared's cd. it was shorter than the 90-minute tdk tape so it had the first x-clan album on it.
with the nation tape, it would be pe all the time, and with the fear tape, it was fear and then xclan, then fear, then xclan. and i was down to go to east cambridge blackwards, but the quality of the music just wasn't there.
i also first heard songs from the album on the "street beats" radio show, where me and my friends would call and ask for shout-outs for each other but used stupid fake names. it was seventh grade.
i definitely own more singles from fear than i do from nation, but as an album, nation is more important.
musically, however, nation is just raw. split stereo for flava and chuck on party for your right to fight? x scratching the melody on 'caught'? not as raw as my 98 oldsmobile was but still, fresh, for 89 like krs said.
3-2.

man i actually went out and rented 'black caesar' after i heard that song. 'yo i got black caesar at the crib'. it was terrible. terrible. just terrible. and straight up the type of hollywood they were talking about burning.
the whole song wasn't even half as poignant as flava's "motherfuck him and john wayne" on fight the power.
why didn't they just release singles?

do black people really hate the beatles?
it seems like every jazz record i own from the 60s has beatles covers on it. i'm sure that was mostly done to get tracks on the radio, but still.
i'd never really heard that black folks hate the beatles. interesting. i knew they hated billy joel though.

are these stan getz records?
i've seen prego bob his head to let it be at eddie's. of course, it was aretha singing, and there are hot drums on that track. but it's still a puzzle. does aretha like the beatles? or is she just using them? but how can the daughter of a preacher hate anyone?

I will agree, albeit grudgingly, that this is certainly the best album Public Enemy was able to muster.
