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

"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.

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.

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"

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.
