Beatnuts

Liks

Good beats, better emcees.

This was a very hard choice but I went with the Liks.

They were supposed to do a tour together back in the day billed LIKNUTS which is hilarous

Shoot bro, I got a waterproof suit yo.

tough decision...

i'm going with beatnuts

liks. tash is the tiebreaker.

"this ain't nothin to laugh to I'll shoot your moms if I have to"

"The Beats is Nuts so you critics can't say shit"

I chose the Beatnuts becuase of all of artists they have remixed and worked with over the years, lyrically there is no question that the Liks hold it down but the Nuts kill it in the beatmaking and production stakes and their rhymes suit them.

Beatnuts.

I always preferred E-Swift's production to the Nuts.

Tough call - The Beatnuts have Street Level, which is pretty much unfuckwithable so they get my vote.

tha liks hand down. no dispute. one of my fav of all time. seen them 10 times live. love these dudes

Tash is better than the Nuts alone
but the production for the Nuts... ohhh lawdy.

xD

And yeah, also went with Liks.

Beatnuts..No question.

Two of my all time favs, like 1 and 1a on the all time bob list. Being a light-skinned cat (read: white), I hold a special place in my heart for these MCs. Either that or the fact that most of their material revolved around getting high, getting drunk, getting laid and getting paid. I went with the LIks because Coast II Coast is perfect. And the Liks never rapped about shootin' people unless it was "First came to shove/and now hes gone"

liks

toss up..

street level is the best album either of the dropped.
i only really like intoxicated demons, 21 & over, street level, coast ii coast, stone crazy & likwidation.
in their prime, alkaholiks were better live. both are ok live today

Coast II Coast is my favourite album out of the 2 groups, but I still picked the 'Nuts because "Do You Believe", "Watchout Now", and "Beanuts Forever" are among my favourite tracks.

come on liks catch up...likwidation is such an underrated LP IMO

I drink like Mr Wendell smoke bud like Dr. Dre.

LIKS

Don t get me wrong I love the Nuts but I love E-Swift's production like crazy 21 and under and Coast to Coast are classics and lyrically the Liks are better than the Nuts IMO

the beatnuts have some amazing beats but i think alot of you are forgetting that they are both horrible horrible emcees and to me more often than not they ruin them
