Public Enemy vs. NWA

[luka]

About, I dunno, maybe 10 years ago, I kept hearing this everywhere. I can't remember what set of events had conspired to make it contemporary again but it did sound contemporary.

This is a useful song to compare and contrast with my '64. Similar but different.

I was about to post that. The g funk squeal.

Lower pitched squeal

Aka The Worm

Dre's secret weapon. It's irresistible.

Public Enemy were heroes to most but they never meant shit to me, you see.

Whereas NWA gave us deathless classics like Fuck Da Police, Gangsta Gangsta, Panic Zone, 8-Ball, SOC, etc.

Chuck D never wrote anything as good as Here's a murder rap to keep ya dancin' / With a crime record like Charles Manson. And NWA never sampled Slayer. So NWA win, simple.

NWA are cool. Chuck D is a stentorian parent who sends you to military school for misbehaving. He's disappointed in you. He's a disciplinarian. A product of a different generation.

Yeah - probably the same reason why I preferred Ninjaman to Macka B.

Feels like I'm in good company on the westside

If you like fascism you'll love PE. If you like putting a whoopee cushion on the teachers chair, if you are a member of the Bash Street Kids, you'll love NWA.

Yeah this beat is good - I can't stand chuck ds haranguing delivery though.

Perhaps this is where I experience the time barrier?

Ice Cube was a sort of West coast chuck D I suppose, but he had a sort of laid back supine quality somewhere in there as well as the shouting.

This needs to be on the sleevenotes of the next NWA 'lost demos' retro boxset.

One of you public enemies post five songs by public Enemy to convince me otherwise (not don't believe the hype or rebel without a pause, though, I know those ones - or black steel in the hour of...)

This is kind of the issue I have with Krs one too. He's overbearing.

It's a different sort of delivery, too, in line with that professorial persona.

I like BDP mind you. I like KRS actually, just never in the same league as Rakim for me.

 

[craner]

I don't really like NWA, PE or BDP.

there arent any deep cuts. You know all of them.

 

[Corpsey]

The way he raps is sort of like the Beastie Boys - it's almost more like a rock singer than a rapper. It reminds me of Linkin Park.

I can sense Thirdform warming up in the wings.

His voice contrasts well with Flava Flavs. It's like a muppet show double act. Both cartoonish in their own ways.

 

[luka]

But can't compare to the varying tonalities cadences and characters of eazy e, ice cube, dre... and the other lads

this is where i side with k-punk about weed sloths. you need to be tied to a railing by the balls and slapped on the buttocks with a ruler then have 5 grams of speed plugged up there. then you will understand!
