The De La Soul album has the better individual tracks but it just doesn't work as an album and lacks cohesion.

I love Public Enemy but against my better judgment I do think that the compilation Power To The People And Beats is the best thing to own for Public Enemy (despite Burn Hollywood, Burn not being on there).

ATCQ sound as dated as the other albums TBH but it is much more cohesive and holds up much better. Besides the live rhythm section is stellar.

De La Soul 0
A Tribe Called Quest 3
Public Enemy 3
