Beats International vs Stereo MC's

Postby Quite Life » Sat Apr 09, 2005 10:26 am

Wow a battle of one hit wonders here with post new wave psuedo hip hop.

Beats, if you remeber had that witty "Brixton" bass sample in "Dub Be Good to Me".


But the MC's had more dance floor fire power with "Elevate My Mind", "Ground Level", "Connected", and "Step it Up".

Wasn't Beats International the outfit that Norman Cook fronted after leaving The Housemartins but before christening himself Fat Boy Slim?

I've always hate, hate, hated that Connected song. It always seemed so "fake" to me somehow. Therefore Beats Intl. by default.

in the other corner:
Stereo MCs !
I LOVE "Connected", and it's funny that you mention Stereo MCs being "post new wave pseudo hip hop", because they kinda are, aren't they? That Stereo MCs tape, which my best friend sent to me while I was in the Peace Co

It's not even close, The Stereo MCs!!!!

Beats Intl. get points for sampling 'The Guns of Brixton' though!
