Vote!

Shit Phila, you just sit there and try to think of the hardest polls to vote in don't you

I have to vote for UMC's just because Critical Beatdown is one of the best rap albums ever, and blows the OK albums out of the water.

But if you voted for UMC's you'd be voting for a different group

Ultramagnetic

Critical Beatdown and Funk Your Head Up cannot be fucked with

YouTube · Post by **Philaflava** » Fri Jul 13, 2007 9:40 am

And I voted Ultra too.

OK's self-titled debut was alright with some great tracks like Fudge Pudge, Releasing Hypnotical Gases and Who Stole, but the remixes that DIDN'T appear on the LP were much better. Their follow-up Stress was a masterpiece and Equinox was decent BUT Ultra put out some classics that 99% of the current hip-hoppers have no clue about.

1988 - Critical Beatdown
1992 - Funk Your Head Up
1993 - The Four Horseman
1994 - The Basement Tapes 1984ג1990
1996 - New York What Is Funky
1996 - Big Time (Ultra)
1996 - Mo Love's Basement Tapes
1997 - The B-Sides Companion
1998 - Smack My Bitch Up
2007 - The Best Kept Secret

Yeah, I know about the UMCs, but for some reason I always use that to abbreviate for Ultramag as well... maybe because their name is so long. Either way, they are superior.

I've always heard Ultramag as the proper abbrev. for Ultramagnetic MC's.

ultramag, no contest

OK as a group takes it. But when it comes to SOLO non of them touch Kool Keith.

who is with me?

Kinda agree. The beats are about equal, this contest is defintiely an emcee-based one. You have Pharoahe Monch vs Kool Keith and Prince Po vs Ced Gee, basically. Ultra is the shit but I gotta go with OK based on consistency alone.

I enjoy listening to Ultra more though. edit: now that I think about it, Kool Keith's mid-90's work > Pharaohe's, on the solo tip. Still though.

I've only heard individual tracks from Funk Your Head Up and 4 Horseman, and like I said I do enjoy listening to Ultra more but have a larger appreciation for OK on a whole. Perhaps my opinion will change once I hear the full albums. Are they generally hard to find in stores?

OK easily

how come NOBODY speaks up when they vote in polls like this? explain your reasoning behind voting OK. there is no right or wrong. there is dinosaur and newjacks.

adverse · Post by **adverse** » Fri Jul 13, 2007 12:40 pm

i dont listen to Ultramagnetic MC's that much anymore. while o.k. self titled and stress.. love the i-pod latley. both are 2 of my favorite groups all time, both are revolutionary and all that stuff, but o.k. is in my brain.

neo-geo

OK all day.

Why you say?

The teaming of two brainiac dumb dumbs such as Monch and Po is unmatchable by most duo standards....

the only way one could view Keith as having a viable cohort is by pitting him w/ one of his alter egos.....

Ced Gee/Tim Dawg/Keith (minus GawdFather Don, he wasn't "officially" UltraMag) vs. Monch & Po......No contest really.....

Base it offa RIGHT NOW, got me not actually voting and just speakin' on it.....

Pharoahe nuthuggers, start your engines.

Murph · Post by **Murph** » Fri Jul 13, 2007 3:58 pm

Wow... I do not agree with the outcome of this poll so far. I'm usually pretty unbiased in these things, but people seriously prefer the OK albums over Critical Beatdown and Funk Your Head Up? That is crazy talk to me.

Combo7 · Post by **Combo7** » Fri Jul 13, 2007 4:04 pm

^^ Most people voting for OK in this poll have not heard those albums.

They're voting for OK because "no one can do what Pharoahe does" or some other bullshit newjack reason.

Critical Beatdown is the only Ultramag tape I can stand.

Voted: OK

Combo is 100%. This isn't a Pharoahe vs. Kool Keith poll. This has NOTHING to do with skills or solos. This is about the group's work, influence and really just complete catalog.

Not only has Ultra had more material than OK, but their first 3 albums were

. If you haven't heard it then that's undestandable, but it doesn't make it right.

4 Horseman is more available.... I think they did a re-issue not too long ago if memory serves, but relatively speaking their both pretty hard to find, especially Funk Your Head Up

if you dont vote ultramag

you a ultrafag

yeah i said it

Killa Cong · Post by **Killa Cong** » Sun Jul 15, 2007 2:02 pm

funk your head up is one of my favorite albums ever

critical beatdown ain't that bad either

and shit, if we're including the "Ultra" record with Tim Dog and Keith under the Ultramagnetic MCs umbrella then it's no contest really. Keith bodies the whole industry on that record.
