Wait a second. That P. Diddy = Beatles thing doesn't fly with me. Hows about:

Puffy + BIG = The Beatles

BIG = John Lennon

Puffy = Paul McCartney

And wouldn't the Fat Boys = Herman's Hermits?

Following that Puffy train of thought, the Stones would obviously be Death Row Records.

― David Raposa, Tuesday, 20 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I love Public Enemy. I don't like The Clash at all.

So how about:

Public Enemy = The Clash + The Sex Pistols x Run DMC (Pistols excepted, that was IIRC Chuck D's original concept)

Also: if De La Soul are the Incredible String Band, wouldn't PM Dawn be Donovan circa "Mellow Yellow"?

― Robin Carmody, Tuesday, 20 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Outkast = Elton John.
