[.ca] Yo! Bum Rush The Show

From Amazon.co.uk:
With Yo! Bum Rush the Show, Public Enemy introduce a new kind of bravado that's not just directed at other players and sucker MCs but is an out-and-out middle-finger challenge to the whole world, as these serious brothers roll right over you in a slow-moving convoy of '98 Oldsmobiles ("You're Gonna Get Yours"). PE crowd these tracks with disparate sounds that move your butt while they buzz from every channel. Despite their serious posturing, you'll be grateful for the sloppy bass line in "Timebomb" and Terminator X's brilliant tone experiment, "Public Enemy No. 1". Yo! isn't PE's masterpiece, but it's a truly standout album, a warning shot for the full-scale assault they would later initiate on It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back. --Todd Levin

Un Essentiel amazon.fr:
Yo ! Bum Rush The Show est considéré à juste titre comme un album fondateur. Public Enemy signe en effet là un véritable brûlot rapologique, une réponse en rimes à tous les maux de la société américaine. La drogue ("Night Of The Living Baseheads"), les médias corrompus ("Don't Believe The Hype"), autant de thèmes abordés par Chuck D, le leader de Public Enemy qui assène ses messages politiques avec la foi du militant. Flavor Flav quant à lui booste les rimes et enchaîne les facéties. "Bring The Noise", "Rebel Without A Pause" sont tout simplement des classiques de l'univers rapologique, où Public Enemy trônait alors en numéro un.--Ronny Yu

pretty good:
I don't specialize in hip hop. But this is a very good album for the first 5 or 6 tracks. It's urgent and lean, and really quite ferociously impressive. It's just a little redundant. Whadda ya want, it's a debut.

This is the best album of all time:
You want to know why this is the best musical album ever created by man? Two words. Chuck. D. This guy can belt out a merry tune like his throat is coated in velvet. In fact, he is velvet. Velvet smooth. Anything by PE is genius 5 star level but this album stands out especially for its contribution to the eighties' as a whole as being political/angry. In the horrible Ragen years, Chuck, Griff, and Flavor Flav stood up to the man. The other albums they sold out but this one still packs a punch. A suckerpunch that is, right to the groin.

Public Enemy - Yo! BumRush The Show:
It's a good CD but not Public Enemys best. I'd definatley buy it though if you are a Public Enemy fan of Hip Hop fan. But I Think Nation Of Millions is a better LP.

MY UZI WEIGHS A TON:
This is one of the most underrated ground-breaking rap albums of all time. These guys came out with this album, with a sound so unheard of and unique at the time. I can still remember blasting these classics out of my car with my buddies as we smoothly cruised down the street. Any true rap fan must own this album. This is a true classic. Listen to it several times and you won't stop playing it.

An AWESOME introduction to Public Enemy!!!:
Public Enemy definitely cemented their position in hip hop history as one of the greatest groups of all time. This album, their first, is one HELL of an introduction to the hip hop world, and they did so with style. This is the first album in a THREE STRAIGHT series of classic albums. Here's the review: Album Highlights: The entire album. Production: Thumbs up, listen to the some of the very first of the classic beats from The Bomb Squad. Lyrics and Subject Matter: Thumbs up. Originality: Thumbs Up. The Last Word: This album truly shows us that PE had MORE in store, and boy did they ever. This is Chuck D in his prime, as he only got BETTER as they years went on. A strong recommendation for this album. Buy this a listen to Public Enemy speak the truth on the debut.
