what criteria?

i'd probably say babu, cut chemist and nu-mark, JMJ

don't know if mixmaster counts as an "in-group" dj even though he tours with them. i don't consider him part of the beastie boys

Good question. Guess its pretty open. I was just thinking they'd have to have actually been in a RAP group or toured extensively w/one. But all DJ groups like the Scratch Picklz are out.

So, Mixmaster Mike I think counts w/ the Beasties...and I guess we can extend it to RAP projects so Q-Bert on Dr. Oct & Abilities on Fan Dam are fair game...

No love for Primo or Pete Rock? Ali Shaheed?

Id definitely say Abilities as part of E&A too...

DJ Jazzy Jeff.

Highly talented

Rocks a party like no other

Won a grammy

Still very relevant after 20 years

And he probably smashed Hillary Banks
