LOUD RECORDS POLL

DAMN

do relativity next

voted MOP

Based on other ILM polls it should be pretty obvious who'll win this...

I'm gonna vote for Dead Prez, because I doubt anyone else will. They made one of the best rap debut albums ever, though unfortunately their later records haven't really been able to líve up to it, despite several quality tunes here and there. Anyway, those later records weren't on Loud, so I don't have to take them into consideration here.

"Hip Hop" is top ten best "lazy mixtape freestyle backing" beats ever

wanted to vote twista

do relativity next

dopest rap label of all time hands down

http://nahright.com/news/wp-content/images/def_jam.JPG

come the fuck on now

Broken Image Records did it big, no doubt.

ITS SUPPOSED TO BE A DEF JAM LOGO

and they even had Slayer, which is like > Megadeth like a zillion

based on ethan's taste I think it's totally reasonable for him to say Loud was better. hell if you look at just Def Jam during Loud's lifespan (92-02) Loud would probably be have it no contest.

boring vote, but wu

dopest rap label of all time hands down

come the fuck on now

^^cosign

you're honestly offended that ethan would rep for the label responsible for Big Pun, the Beatnuts, MOP, Wu Tang, Mobb Deep, Three 6, Twista and Tha Alkaholiks? this is a dumb argument to have, dudes.

I'm not "offended"

but you quoted and co-signed a swear word.

hahaha

in highschool (90-94) i did street team promotions for loud.

i had like 16 rolls of wu stickers that ended up in so many places they shouldn't have, so i voted them

hell if you look at just Def Jam during Loud's lifespan (92-02)

COME THE FUCK ON:

Jay-Z's Vol. 2 and The Blueprint
Scarface's The Fix
The first four Redman albums
Ludacris's first two albums
Method Man's Tical
The first DMX album
Cam'ron
Juelz Santana
Warren G's "Regulate"
Onyx's Bacdafucup
Cru - Da Dirty 30 (which is as awesome as any Loud second-stringer)
late but still classic EPMD
Def Squad
That decent first Ja Rule album
Slick Rick's Art Of Storytelling
Mephis Bleek
Beanie Sigel
MC Serch's slept-on album

and Flatlinerz

that's awesome, dude. doesn't Rifkind get/take a lot of credit for pioneering the whole rap label street team concept? i mean not that stapling posters and wraparound vans are some great gift to the world but that's still kinda cool.

(xpost)

whiney i apologize for encouraging this pointless debate to go on further, you win, whatever.

I gotta agree that Loud in 92-02 was defintely better than Def Jam.

and i thought this was going to be about LOUD albums as in the mastering sense.

sorry southall

that was my shit back in the day. I used to tape Conan and watch it the next day after school, and I watched their performance when they were on like 20 times.

the silent majority strikes again

i'm sorry i forgot to vote, Pun :(
