Well, I listened to it, although I believe that I could've died a happy man had I never.
ruidoso, molesto, mal mal
Didn’t like it at all. The album was really irritating.
*Does NOT deserve even one star! No music, just rap and noise
It just wasn’t my style. I understand what they were campaigning for and the overall importance that have. Overall, it just wasn’t pleasant.
Rap just not my thing
Not a rap fan
God, I can’t stand this. It will be a blessed day when I discover an album that opens my ears to American hip hop in a positive way. It's certainly not going to come from Public Enemy.
first listen. usually i love old school rap but this list made me realize that i do not like Public Enemy like at all.
it just sucks. never heard that many n-words in a hiphop album before either NNN
I don’t like rap. It’s repetitive
I don't have the energy today to even try to listen to this. Ugh, ok, I'll turn it on and see what happens... So this feels like drill sergeant rhythms and cheers for some rebel army to train for war with. Pass. Doesn't feel like music to me at all. Sorry.
Imagine what Bring Tha Noize could be if they were any good
bad
Just No
Horrible. No me gusto
Who hurt these men?
Rap is not music
Have never understood the hype of public enemy. Did not enjoy.
This album is just tedious. Each song is very repetitive and there’s not much that’s interesting happening in the music besides the lyrics. Obviously this group was culturally important. But there’s little that’s impressive to me about looping a 2-second beat for 4 minutes and rapping about race in America, and then doing that for 14 songs in a row
When asked about the significance of the clock on his neck, Flav responded: "The reason why I wear this clock is because, you know, time is the most important element, and when we stop, time keeps going." profound words indeed
Thanks I hate it
There’s bits of this I like, but it’s all a bit too much in one album.
It has now been 5 days in a row that the generator has given me an album from an over-represented artist (3+ albums on a list when 1 at most should be satisfactory). Of course, the history of hip hop, the history of modern music even can not be told without mentioning Public Enemy, but in mentioning them, do we really need to mention this past their prime release where they demonstrate just how quickly they ran out of fresh ideas, and just how reliant they are on a sound that is best exhibited in their earler works anyway? One glass of expired milk out of five 🥛
If I never hear another Public Enemy album...
I'm gonna hate this
Something about this album feels claustrophobic. All the songs have the same flow. All the beats are barely 2 second long loops. The songs that aren't boring are downright annoying. Hype men are pointless and Flav's voice is grating. Gonna be a no from me.
C-rap Beats me how this genre exists
Couldn't get through this one. Did not like it...
"There's no place for gays. When God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, it was for that sort of behaviour" "If the Palestinians took up arms, went into Israel and killed all the Jews, it'd be all right." "Jews are responsible for the majority of the wickedness in the world" "I told him about the history of him and his people about the Ashkenazi, the Ashke-Nazis, and when I laid it on him he couldn't handle it and I'm like, all right, which is common knowledge today everybody talking about it, you understand what I'm saying people are making books about it." Fuck you professor Griff you antisemitic piece of dogshit. Fuck you public enemy for being spineless cowards. Talking about your own struggle while stomping on the struggle of others'. Proceeding to have your "minister of information" (you goofy assholes have the same group organization skills of the klan) spread more misinformation than trump did during the election and biden did during one of his sundowning speeches is actually the best thing you could've ever done, discrediting your dumbasses. Oh, let's mention the fact that y'all are "unified" and tried to bring the group back together with prof. griff but the people rejected your racist asshole friend and you ditched him and proceeded to make bank whilst publicly distancing yourself from him when in reality we all know he was chillin with y'all at every chance he could. Go fuck yourselves.
I can’t say this was fun to listen to. An assault on the senses.
Nooooooo… This is horrible! Listened through the whole album with no skips, and I can definitely still determine that I really don’t like hip hop. Normally when I listen to music, time passes faster.… When listening to this album, time went by so slow…
Listened to about half of the album before turning it off as I really wasn’t liking it. Hiphop/rap is just not a genre for me and while I prefer an album with a political message over gansta rap, a quick google search for Public Enemy gives me results of antisemitism, domestic violence and homophobia. Which at times is reflected in the lyrics. So while I appreciate (part of) their political & social message, I'm left with a bad after taste.
Hip Hop. 1/5
Don't even want to listen. Yes, you're angry and you might have dope beats, but life is too short
Alla som känner mig vet vilket betyg jag kommer att ge. Varför terroriseras jag med sådant skit. Ge mig Depeche Mode, Nick Cave, Einstürzende Neubauten......
Not my thing
The songs kind of blend together and sound similar. Have that old style beat that is just boring to me Gets a little more varied but didn’t really want to finish this album
- old school rap - now i will go back to the beatles
Kann und will ich nicht hören, hatte schon nach 10 Sekunden kein Bock mehr. Habe der Unlust gerne nachgegeben.
I couldn't listen to the entire first cut - nothing really musical about this. Did skip through the rest trying to find something worthwhile to listen to but not really successful.
it's so bad I couldn't go past 4 tracks. records like this remind me I couldn't be a music journalist.
I don't really like Public Enemy. Maybe it's the annoying horns and high pitch bullshit they loop for all eternity on a lot of their tracks
no.
Ekki minn tebolli.
Not a fan
I'm just not a big fan of 90's rap and hip-hop, and this album doesn't really do it for me. I really dislike the samples and repetitive nature of the songs. The lyrics are great, but I also feel like I'm getting preached at when I listen to this album. It also feels a little bit weird when the songs sound like "That's How I Beat Shaq" but the lyrics are telling me about oppression, but that's probably just a product of time.
I feel like Public Enemy aged a lot harder than other classics. There hooks weren't hooking, and the bars weren't hitting either. It acts like it has a lot to say, but that impact is really lost on me. The only redeeming song on this album is the one with Anthrax. Should have done a whole album like this.
Really didn't age super well, not as good as the wutang one
No thanks
Noisy beats, repetitive drums and vocal loops and questionable quality of audio overall a make this a hip-hop record that does not impress me at all. I find the sampling and deep synthesizer sounds grating at times, the lyrics uninspiring, and most tracks downright annoying. A 1/5 is deserved.
