Which Beastie Do You Think Has The Best Rhymes?

[I'mTheMacaroni]

I dunno if this belongs in the frequent posts section (I haven't been using this thing often enough to know)

...but, who in your opinion writes the best rhymes? I'm leaning towards Mike D at the moment, but I've always loved Adrock's lines.

let me just say i hate this question, not only because it has been asked a bunch (no offense), but because all three are masters. you would have to go line by line in comparison cause they all have their blow you away lines. i won't pick!

good point

All the beasties are good in their own way.. but put them together and you have a trio of sickness! and lets not forget about mixmaster mike not that he rhymes.. but sick scratchin

[I'mTheMacaroni]

Didn't mix master mike ge banned from the dj comps because he kept winning and no one else stood a chance? Or does he still keep winning them?

He won every one he entered so they made him judge.

they are all individual and such great rhymers . i think only their rhymes together are making good lyrics. it´s hard to say who´s the best ´cause they are all in their own way incredible awesome , i think their individually is making them to such great artists and in the end to the beastie boys

i guess that's a matter of opinion.

[Canadasbabydoll]

I think Adrock ends up with the best rhymes on most tracks.
Whether or not he wrote those specific lines or just rapped them I'm not sure, but I tend to like his lines the most.
But... most definately all of their rhymes together give the songs their strength, the greatness of a song cannot rest on one great rhyme by one great rhymer.
If Star Wars has taught us anything, it's all about the trilogy.

That's too tough to call...the reason the b-boys are so good is due to 3 different voices, deliveries, styles etc. etc.

rock on!!

Some voices got treble, some voices got bass, we got the kind of voices that are in your face

[MCA126]

tough call i'd have to say Mike D just about beats MCA but MCA would def win the sexy voice..

[still ill]

Adrock always sounds the best with the nasal flow..but Mike d has got the best rhymes. On TT5b especially Mike comes through nicely EX: Rhyme the Ryhme Well -Mike d verse was ill . MCA was also dope , Adrock's verse was more comical, but when you analyze his rhymes..... How should I say ...their not so good Al (Happy Days reference). Don't gte me wrong I love The king Adrock though..

Mike D. and ADROCK tie for best rhymes -
but sexiest voice goes to ADROCK
I mean when he says "don't worry I'll take care of ya." or
"Because I've Got The Flow Where I Grab My Dick
And Say Oh My God, That's The Funky Shit
So I'm Going To Pass The Mic And Cause A Panic
The Original Nasal Kid Is Doing Damage."

c'mon nothing sexier than that.
even if Mike D. is the ladies choice and does put the satin in our panties.

but for sweet, down-to-earth, and most audience involvement - the award goes to Yauch - hands down.

I was really impressed with how he walked out into the audience during Paul Revere at the Nassau Colliseum show and was rappin and shakin hands with all the fans - very very cool.

Ok then compared to the true masters.

[Sensei]

Stop trying to guess who's better than the other on several stuff ! What's the matter ? It's a BAND, it's not like comparing : Who's the biggest bitch, C Aguilera or B Spears !

[i'mcrafty]

D!!!!!!!!!

[beastie_dee]

I could never pick one.

they all rule at that.

[FunkyBoss]

All three Beasties have their own style and rythum. Its too hard to choose a best MC, but my favourite is probably Mike D.

[Beastieluver1]

You really cant compare them, they both have so many different styles and shit you just cant it is impossible. and i agree it is matter of opinion. They each have their own parts to play, without them being together, they wouldnt have had much success, seriously, if you imagined only 2 of them together it would suck, their personalities really make The Beasties, The Beasties.

same here

[keef]

It is hard to decide, but I'm going to have to go with MCA.

[DutchDisaster]

In my opinion, they should stick together like forever-glue, it's the three voices together that make this band so awsome. And I guess none of the three could do without the two others.
What got me hooked on the beasties is the way their verses flow into eachother so damn fast and slick, I have never ever heard any other rappers doin this so well.
Same goes for stage performance, cool handshaking MCA along with the ill master d,is so cool because Adrock works out the wacked edge to it.

If I'd have to make a choice it would be Adrock, but hey, He is the King Adrock!

I agree, so I'm not gonna make a decision on this one.

First post..

Anyway, my opinion changes too often, whoever's rhymes I'm listening to at the time is my favourite, so point being is they are all too good to pull apart. And yes they ARE masters, cause it's just not about their rhymes, their attitude is part of what makes them so fucking awesome.

edit: never seen a bandmember post as much as mca.. reshpeckt
