def jam/murder inc. '01/'02 = factory '89/'90

― jess (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 1 April 2003 04:01 (twenty-one years ago) link

Do you really think Ja Rule is going to bankrupt Def Jam/Murder Inc. with his drugged out excesses haha?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 1 April 2003 04:04 (twenty-one years ago) link

a man can dream.

"ja rule goes to barbados for 8 mos. to record his difficult fourth album. while there he picks up a 900dm per day crack habit and listens to dancehall records played at 78rpm. records wanky prog epic."

― jess (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 1 April 2003 04:06 (twenty-one years ago) link

I want to hear the Paul Oakenfeld remix of that!

Kool Keith? Actually, no Public Enemy
Shaun = Chuck
Bez = Flav and the S1Es combined, although Kermit would be Flav if we included Black Grape as well
The rest = Terminator X and the Bomb Squad

― Nick H, Tuesday, 1 April 2003 20:07 (twenty-one years ago) link

My vote would go to ODB as hip hop's answer to Shaun Ryder.
