If there was a hip hop Traveling Wilburys, who would be in it?

or maybe slick rick would be a better roy orbison, more strange and sad, but i was looking for a tru-school first-gen guy....

Chuck D could be Roy Orbison. Both have the voice

i think youre just talking about

Puff Daddy as Jeff Lynne.

Bob Dylan - CGI Tupac Shakur

Dylan - Afrika Bambaataa (sp)
Lynne - Rick Rubin?

The tom petty I think it's more important that he have a vocal style that is both iconic and laconic - MF Doom.

Jeff Lynne = Kool Keith
George Harrison = Ghostface (maybe not golden age, but I prefer the analogy with Wu as Beatles and both showing up a little into the birth fo the genre)
Tom Petty = Devin the Dude
Bob Dylan = def. Rakim
Orbison = Slick Rick works for me.

Also, I would pay good GOOD money to see this project. Let's make it happen fellas!

I was just about to say this

Oh Devin Tom Petty OTM!

Orbison = Slick Rick works for me

^^cosign

krs one is so tom petty

Wot about RZA is Jeff Lynne.

keith isn't that much of a producer too, plus too "out there"

p-diddy is decent i think. but does he really "produce" in terms of studio stuff, cuz i think lynne is a real gearhead type dude...

THAT'S TOTALLY IT...perfect...of course then DMC would have to be Harrison, cuz we can't mix eras...

I guess I think of Run-DMC as the Beatles of rap....cuz they were def. second generation, big break from the true old school...like if Melle Mel/etc etc were elvis and them...

jeff lynne = d nice

haha so then is roy wood scott la rock?

Okay, but no one would argue that Dylan is Rakim right? Because now I wish he had been one of the 18 guys playing him in "i'm not there"

Seems like Method Man would have to be in, to me

is=isn't

dylan = rakim seems like a lock to me

wilbury dylan was at a relaxed stage of his career it seems.

rakim is most definitely not

but dylan was sort of on the outs at that point, probably the low ebb of his career statuswise

George Harrison RIP = Fat Pat RIP

well i'm more concerned with his mindstate (knowing that you have money in the bank if you want me to be crude about it) and approach to being a cog in a supergroup.

no goerge would be hawk

Crooklyn Dodgers, guys.

haha

west coast rap all stars

Also, DMC blew out his voice years ago and can't rap like he used to. So it's have to be Run/George Harrison

body and soul and def jef play dylan's hair iin a "i'm not there" stylee

Dylan in the 80s was some sad shit

except with the Wilburys! With whom he wore Pagliacci makeup.

^^^ great record

i told deej i was gonna make a poll between it and self destruction. lazy

I'd love to hear the TWs doing "We're All in the Same Gang."

Honestly, why HASN'T there been an attempt to do this? Capitalize on the old-school cred of a bunch of legends in the same room, sell millions to 40-year-olds...who by the way probably are more likely to buy CDs anyway. Don't worry about trying to make it commercial for the kids, let them rap about whatever they want, probably the joys of fatherhood and mowing the lawn and stuff. It could be a great thing.

Yeah, most ppl in this thread sorta missed the point that 3/5 of the Wilburies hadn't had a hit record in 20 years

20 years?

that isn't right at all Whiney.

yeah, you're right

Slaughterhouse?
