worst Public Enemy album title

How You Sell Soul to a Soulless People Who Sold Their Soul?

Whoops - I meant to include Apocalypse 91, for the reasons stated above, but I don't think anyone would have voted for it anyway, considering its competition. Write it it, if you like.

New Whirl Odor (2005)
huh?

New Whirl Odor is something even Ministry would reject. How You Sell Soul to a Soulless People Who Sold Their Soul? is like She Sells Sea Shells Down By The Sea Shore. Kinda fun if you get it right.

those later ones are all terrible, but Muse Sick still stands out

How You Sell Soul to a Soulless People Who Sold Their Soul? (2007)

^^^ this is the worst album title i've ever seen

New Whirl Odor is something even Ministry would reject.

hahaha this is the first thing i thought of too!

you missed Beats And Places, which is no better or worse than There's A Poison Going On

New Whirl Odor achieves the impossible by being even worse than Muse Sick. It also sounds like a toilet-cleaning product.

I sold my copies of Muse Sick and Poison Goin on ebay last year for a stunning $1 each btw

I can't stop giggling about Confrontation Camp

btw are any of these records worth listening to? i think had muse sick but sold it long ago

How You Sell Soul to a Soulless People Who Sold Their Soul? - I blew a golden poll title opportunity here.

lol yeah you did homie!

these albums are full of good stuff, you fucked up

Muse Sick was OK but painfully long and over-stuffed, and Poison just sounded like there was a thick layer of pudding over the top of everything. I gave each a farewell listen, sail on, valiant soldiers!

Here's a quick album guide to late era PE

Muse Sick-n-Hour Mess Age (1994)
This is slept on. Full of really interesting stuff with live instruments and fun Flav bits. You gotta remember this is a band used to working with samples as instruments who had that taken away from them, so they found chaos and wildness in other ways.

He Got Game (1998)
REALLY slept-on. Lush with choirs and fake Premier beats. Should have really been a blueprint for 40+ dudes making rap records, but alas it tanked

There's A Poison Goin On (1999)
Half decent electro-squiggles. Very minimalist and 99-era cyberpunk. Some really winners hidden on here.

Revolverlution (2002)
New Whirl Odor (2005)
These both kind sound like of like Immortal Technique albums. Mostly avoidable

How You Sell Soul to a Soulless People Who Sold Their Soul? (2007)
Half of this is impossible to get through. The other half has some of their best material in years. "Harder tHan You Think" should have really been a hot single with some serious play in hip-hop circles. Easily their best track of the decade

I've thought about making a CD-R of 1994-2009 P.E. tracks for ppl who dropped off em after A91. Maybe I'll upload it here

please do!

Chuck doing the Smoothe Da Hustler "Broken Language" thang on "No" is legendary awesome

Chuck sounds like he can't keep up with the beat, though? (On "Harder Than You Think.")

playlist plz

er.. upload link, rather. My devotion to the continuing PE discog stopped after He Got Game, which was well-reviewed at the time, but really was just kind of there & boring PE is even worse than *bad* PE. I would def be interested in a guided tour to the bad pun era.

pretty sure the only ppl who have listened to late-period PE have all written for the village voice

its like harry allen, whiney weingarten, robert christgau ...

not saying hes wrong btw -- having never written for the voice i have no idea what those albums sound like

How You Sell Soul to a Soulless People Who Sold Their Soul?

Awful. Like a kid's tounge-twister ("Sally Sells Seashells by the Seashore")

Nothing is worse than Muse-Sick in our Mess-Age. Nothing.

a dude i know from college has a remix on 'revolverlution'

I like Flav's "What What" from "Poison" a whole lot. Put that on many mixtapes, def. no masterpiece and it has the "Funky Drummer" beat but still has some charm.

Even in Spain they knew Flavor's name
In Japan they know I'm nice in the game
We maintain, yo brothers feel the vibe
We did the first album and it came out fly

Guess it's all in the delivery.

tempted to go for the awkwardness of "revolverlution," but i can't seem to keep my mouse from hovering above "muse sick"

new whirl odour. it just sounds a bit gross.

always been scared to hear these albums though, even though from hearing that paris and PE album i think chucks still got it when he wants. the concepts/beats just havent been what i want. but its hard for PE after their first 3/4 albums - what can you do to equal that?

Muse Sick-n-Hour Mess Age (1994)

^^^^cannot agree more, muse sick is a great record

these titles are all charming in a charmless sort of way

Muse Sick-n-Hour Mess Age

come on people, this is the worst album title ever created

Yep. Or close enough.

Soul/Soulless is enjoyably silly, and Revolverlution suggests a Beatles cover band, so it's passable. New Whirl Odor stinks and Poison is too wtf? to be awful, but just barely.

Their BEST album title is still It Takes a Nation of Millions to Make Us Multiplatinum (courtesy Xhuxk)

I prefer It'll Take Millions in Plastic Surgery to Make Me Black by Kid 606.

total non-shocker there

Power To The People And The Beats was also a really clunky title for their most recent hits comp

its crazy how weak their titles can be, chuck was an awesome rhetorician at his best. its almost as if they got away with a bad title for muse sick, and just wondered, how far can we push this?

I would buy that if any of the other titles were nearly as bad as Muse Sick... but as it stands, it seems more to me like "oh shit, we got away with the worst title in the world, let's just stop trying"

Dudes should take cues from White Mice

# ASSPhIXXXEATATESHUN
# BLASSSTPHLEGMEICE
# Ganjahovahdose

i'm mostly with you but new whirl odor seems worse to me.

dan you are not giving new whirl odor enough credit for its facepalming shittiness xxxpost

although the inexplicable hyphenation in muse sick does add to its strength of bad

why is Sick-n-Hour hyphenated?

Mews Sicken Our Meh Sage

replace Meh Sage with Massage

But Chuck IS the "meh" sage sickened by our mews, donchugedditttt?????

which reminds me, the true title of how you soul a soul soul soul has THREE question marks at the end

Muse Sick... was a craptacular title in 94, and age hasn't improved its taste any.

Phere Ovuh Bla-kkk-Planutt

what do you guys think is worse Revolverlution or Pitbull's Rebelution?

Rebelution is annoying to me in a way that i cant even put into words, revolverlution is just kind of stupid

If only 2 Old Jews were around to make Rabbilution.

suprised they didn't go all the way and name it revolverlutiontronica.

ron paul revolverlution

Revulvalotion

Republution Soul-Uww-Shun

quick someone let the Yeastie Girls know that we have their new album title all ready for them xpost

New Odor - Whirl In Motion

why is Sick-n-Hour hyphenated? - A always assumed "Sick-n-Hour" was a play on Chuck D's irl surname, "Ridenhour." Still, that doesn't make the title any less wtf, tho this is as good a guess as any: ponder unwell and time-eating unkempt era

this thread is rife w/ choice dn fodder.

you mean 2 Live Jews?

x-posts: They had to hyphen it to get the 'n' in there I guess.

Always thought it was 'music IN our message' rather than 'music AND our message'.

musickin' our message

Revolverlution

Honestly.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

It takes a nation of moaning twats to hold us back.

A surprisingly large number of votes on this one.

Block sheeple in the lol of roffle

muse sick SUCH a brilliant record tho, maybe my fave after nation and black planet...

Muse Sick has grown on me as a title over the years and y'know fuiud etc etc

'give it up' was the first PE track i ever heard, first i ever bought.

what do you guys think is worse Revolverlution or Pitbull's Rebelution?

Tha Grustle is the upcoming third studio album by southern rapper Lil Scrappy.

lol

Was just reminded about Griff's "The Ole B#tch-U-Worryz."

"Harder tHan You Think" should have really been a hot single with some serious play in hip-hop circles. Easily their best track of the decade

Went on to become their most successful single in the UK following it’s use as the theme for the 2012 Paralympics. Someone at Channel 4 must have been listening.

That whole album is probably the one 21st century PE album that I'd recommend without hesitation...just wish they lopped a few words off of that title ("How You Sell Soul to a Soulless People")

How You Sell Soul to Less People

How You Refer Soul To Fewer People

Datamber Mindpaper: Attack of the Screenagers

_There's A Griot Going On_

Those are astonishing, sic, and vmic (I say this as someone who believes Muse Sick N Hour Mess Age to be the third-best PE LP)

all this makes that Yelawolf/Killer Mike song "Slumerican Shitizen" look like art by comparison.

hell, even makes Muse Sick look like art

NAPHIC GROVEL is slaying me...

His second naphic grovel is out:

Summer of Hamn is billed as a depiction of gun violence in America, a collection of Chuck’s graffiti-style drawings and verse – all compiled in what he calls “the madness” of last summer. “Every day there were things that were macabre that didn’t even make the news because people had become immune,” he says.

sounds too normal? don't worry, Chuck's got you:

(the acronym in the title, Hamn, stands for Hollowpointlessness Aiding Mass Nihilism)

you know for all this time I thought that song was by the Go! Team (tbf Chuck D did a song with the Go! Team in 2012 and I don't think I've ever heard the whole song before, just snippets on adverts)

I actually like Muse Sick-n-Hour Mess Age and How You Sell Soul to a Soulless People Who Sold Their Soul? quite a bit, they're really good albums.

Revolverlution is interesting - an album that's not designed like an album but rather like a package of tracks that were downloaded off some file hosting service or streamed on some random YouTube playlist, where said anonymous uploader inserted tracks that normally wouldn't get sequenced into an album. Taken on its own terms, it seemed pretty good, but it's been a while since I listened to it.
