PE's peak moment
I mean I'd never vote for "summertime" but sometimes ppl need a little light + refreshing
― no serenade no fire brigade just a trypophobia (Edward III), Thursday, 9 June 2011 16:26 (thirteen years ago) link
I would have put this much much higher
it's a toss-up between this, "Brothers Gonna Work It Out" and "Bring The Noise" as to what my favorite PE single is
― low-rent black gangster nicknamed Bootsy (DJP), Thursday, 9 June 2011 16:26 (thirteen years ago) link
'electric relaxation' is my favourite tribe track. 'fight the power' is my fav public enemy *fists in the air*'summertime' is a jam
― the-dream's car of the summer (tpp), Thursday, 9 June 2011 16:27 (thirteen years ago) link
actually I'm fronting, I basically adore every PE single through "Shut Em Down" except for "Terrordome"
― low-rent black gangster nicknamed Bootsy (DJP), Thursday, 9 June 2011 16:28 (thirteen years ago) link
:( Terrordome is my favorite PE single.

the first time I heard the whole thing was post controversy, plus I dunno the beat doesn't really gel for me in the same way that "Fight The Power" or "Brothers Gonna Work It Out" or even "Can't Do Nuttin' For Ya Man" does
xp: "Bring The Noise" OTOH slays from the get go

Great run of songs anyway.

Yay Kurtis Blow & Summertime. Really should've voted on this one... seems my 'moka-hop' taste wasn't really that devious from the standard preset here.
Awesome pics too.

follow the leader the album is microphone fiend + a bunch of filler imo. should have just been the lead single on rhythm.

"Follow The Leader" was also my #1. 11 of my Top 20 have now placed, and I'm reasonably hopeful that 5 more will follow.
― mike t-diva, Thursday, 9 June 2011 16:47 (thirteen years ago) link
I thought Bring The Noise would be a lock for the top 5.
― kornrulez6969, Thursday, 9 June 2011 16:47 (thirteen years ago) link
I only voted for Public Enemy No. 1 and You're Gonna Get Yours because I think Yo! Bum Rush The Show is their weakest album prior to He Got Game.
The first night I had an E that blew my head off, the DJ played 'Soul Power 74' by The J.B.s and 'You're Gonna Get Yours'. I can't hear either tune without going a bit funny.
Why is there a miniature Tie Fighter flying at Kurtis Blow's head?
XP: Follow The Leader is a great song but not as pure bad ass as Juice though.
