[Career Over Like Mike(NJJ)]

1. The Beatnuts are better producers than The Neptunes?

Incomparable styles. Neptunes are still hot, though (why oh why did Pharrell give that Zock On beat to Nigo's vanity group?), whereas Beatnuts have been done for at least 5 years now.

2. Rank these emcees in order from best to worst---Killah Priest, Mr. Lif, Boots Riley, Talib Kweli & Blaq Poet.

Poet is the only one i like but i've never really heard The Coup. Killah Priest is atrocious.

3. You own over 500 CD's (not CD-Rs or CD singles) in your collection?

Sure.

4. Who is your least favorite artist on Def Jux?

Don't care.

5. Ultramagnetic MC's have two classic albums in their catalog?

Hell no. The Tuff City outtakes collection with the purple cover is better than Funk Your Head Up and The 4 Horsemen.

6. If vinyl was more accessible and cheaper, you'd buy it?

Nah, i'm glad vinyl is done since i've got way more than enough of the stuff as it is. I'll still buy older stuff i've still not got and the occasional new thing which comes out on wax (like that Smirnoff ep with Criminal Minded '08 on it) but i buy cd's these days.

7. Ayatollah is a better producer than DJ Muggs?

Nope, although only 'cause of the first Cypress Hill as everything by Muggs since is dull.

8. Rank these tracks from best to worst--Can It Be All So Simple, Shame On A Nigga, Tearz & Da Mystery Of Chessboxin'.

Shame On A Nigga and Can It Be All So Simple are the only ones i still listen to.

9. Tony Touch made the best mixtapes?

Nah.

10. Bun-B + Trae + Scarface + Z-Ro > Saigon, Royce 5'9, Tragedy Khadafi & Joe Budden

Yeah, Tragedy was the man in the day, though. Bizarre selection of rappers for the 2nd lot.

[B. Ware tha Siniq]

1. The Beatnuts are better producers than The Neptunes?

Umm... I don't really think you can compare the two. Completely different styles, genres (IMO), eras. Both great. I'd say I prefer the Beatnuts catalog, but then I love the Clipse albums and NERD's albums were both great. Beatnuts tho, fuccit.

2. Rank these emcees in order from best to worst---Killah Priest, Mr. Lif, Boots Riley, Talib Kweli & Blaq Poet.

1. Boots Riley
2. Blaq Poet
3. Killah Priest
4. Talib Kweli
5. Mr. Lif

3. You own over 500 CD's (not CD-Rs or CD singles) in your collection?

LOL, yeah a whole lot more than that. I lost count somewhere in the 1,700-1,800 range. No idea how many I have anymore.

4. Who is your least favorite artist on Def Jux?

Umm... I don't even know who's on Def Jux anymore. El-P, Hangar 18, Aesop Rock, .... drawing a blank. I still check El-P and Hangar... that's about it though.

5. Ultramagnetic MC's have two classic albums in their catalog?

You can take away that question mark.

6. If vinyl was more accessible and cheaper, you'd buy it?

No.

7. Ayatollah is a better producer than DJ Muggs?

At this point, probably... all-time, no not even close, Muggs >>>>.

8. Rank these tracks from best to worst--Can It Be All So Simple, Shame On A Nigga, Tearz & Da Mystery Of Chessboxin'.

That's so hard to do... umm..

Chessboxin'
Shame
Tearz
Can It Be

9. Tony Touch made the best mixtapes?

I dunno. He's up there... Maybe.

10. Bun-B + Trae + Scarface + Z-Ro > Saigon, Royce 5'9, Tragedy Khadafi & Joe Budden

Scarface is better than all of the rappers on this list combined. The east coast group you posted are all good rappers, but none of them has made a great album except Trag (who has a couple, plus his involvement in the war report)... You throw Bun-B, Z-Ro, and Trae in there and it's just foolishness. Not even close.

[ardamus]

1. The Beatnuts are better producers than The Neptunes?yeah

4. Who is your least favorite artist on Def Jux?that party committee album still haunts

6. If vinyl was more accessible and cheaper, you'd buy it?yeah, but i still buy certain vuinyl records just because
7. Ayatollah is a better producer than DJ Muggs?its a close one but i have to say Muggs because of that project he did with Sick Jacken. and i've yet to hear how Ayatollah handels a whole emcee's album
8. Rank these tracks from best to worst--Can It Be All So Simple, Shame On A Nigga, Tearz & Da Mystery Of Chessboxin'.can it be it was all so simple, da mystery of chessboxin', shame on a nigga, tearz
9. Tony Touch made the best mixtapes?can't say; i've heard some from a long time ago that S&S did that i liked. and Flex had his shine, too.
10. Bun-B + Trae + Scarface + Z-Ro > Saigon, Royce 5'9, Tragedy Khadafi & Joe Budden]Bun-B's squad; even though they're evenly matched with others

3. You own over 500 CD's (not CD-Rs or CD singles) in your collection?

Rap? Not quite. All genres? Most definitely.

I don't even know who is on Def Jux anymore besides El-P. At least, I think he's still on Def Jux...

5. Ultramagnetic MC's have two classic albums in their catalog?

Debut is an all-time classic. Four Horsemen has a few classic tracks, but too much filler and wack Ced Gee verses to be a classic album. It's just a really dope album.

6. If vinyl was more accessible and cheaper, you'd buy it?

Nah. Used to have a decent collection, but sold most of it. Vinyl is a pain in the ass.

7. Ayatollah is a better producer than DJ Muggs?

Uhhh...this isn't a serious question, right?

8. Rank these tracks from best to worst--Can It Be All So Simple, Shame On A Nigga, Tearz & Da Mystery Of Chessboxin'.

Can It all Be So Simple, Tearz, Mystery of Chessboxin, Shame on a Nigga

9. Tony Touch made the best mixtapes?

I don't know. He probably feels kinda like that LSD inventor who recently died. He's proud of his body of work, but probably horrified at the resulting devastation it's caused.

10. Bun-B + Trae + Scarface + Z-Ro > Saigon, Royce 5'9, Tragedy Khadafi & Joe Budden

This inequality don't make no sense, Mr. G.

[arlene]

the way you word these makes my head explode so i fixed it for you

everyone gets it. it ain't that major sweet heart. wanna fix that too and put it into proper english?

it might not be a big deal but its extremely annoying. You should just change these to agree/disagree and it would make a little more sense.

Critical Beatdown and Funk Your Head Up

6. If vinyl was more accessible and cheaper, you'd buy it?

Shit, I buy it now when its more rare and expensive

7. Ayatollah is a better producer than DJ Muggs?

Nah

8. Rank these tracks from best to worst--Can It Be All So Simple, Shame On A Nigga, Tearz & Da Mystery Of Chessboxin'.

Shame On A Nigga...Da Mystery of Chessboxin...Tearz...Can It Be All So Simple

I think I'd put Reunited over all these tracks though

9. Tony Touch made the best mixtapes?

I know someone who would be more adept at answering this question...I am not THAT familiar with mixtapes but I would have to answer this with a resounding NO...I've heard some by G-Bo The Pro that are ridiculous

10. Bun-B + Trae + Scarface + Z-Ro > Saigon, Royce 5'9, Tragedy Khadafi & Joe Budden

im not that familiar with alot of these MCs but Tragedy is the man

9. Tony Touch made the best mixtapes?
10. Bun-B + Trae + Scarface + Z-Ro > Saigon, Royce 5'9, Tragedy Khadafi & Joe Budden

1. For Pop songs, the Neptunes are clearly the obvious choice. Besides that, I personally dig the Beatnuts a lot more.
2. Talib Kweli, Killa Priest, Blaq Poet, and I've never heard of the other MC's, so they are unranked.
3. I own 90 CD's. So, no.
4. MURS. Didn't he change labels though?
5. Never really got into Ultramag.
6. I can't play it at my home, I only own one copy of Nas' Illmatic on vinyl, but that's just decoration on my wall
7. False.
8. Can It All Be So Simple, Da Mystery of Chessboxin', Shame on a Nigga, Tearz
9. No.
10. Scarface > All of them. However, I personally dig Saigon, Joe
Budden and Term more then the rest of the south boyz, and Royce is on-par, with IMO more potential.

4. Who is your least favorite artist on Def Jux?

I have never been able to get open to Aesop Rock or Cannibal Ox... I remember copping both 'The Cold Vein' LP and 'Labor Days' LP on the same day due to the incredible hype both were getting and recommendations from heads...

I really didn't enjoy either, so promptly sold them on...

5. Ultramagnetic MC's have two classic albums in their catalog?

No... But the debut is one of the greatest all time Hip Hop albums...

Nope...

8. Rank these tracks from best to worst--Can It Be All So Simple, Shame On A Nigga, Tearz & Da Mystery Of Chessboxin'.

9. Tony Touch made the best mixtapes?

No, but he's up there...

10. Bun-B + Trae + Scarface + Z-Ro > Saigon, Royce 5'9, Tragedy Khadafi & Joe Budden

I think Trag is better than Bun, Z-Ro or Trae, but either of those guys slaughter Saigon, Royce or Budden. There is more entertainment and lyrical dexterity in any early SLAB mixtape than anything those fellas have ever done.
