Off The Books Hip Hop Draft (forget is OTC)

[QUOTE="Orlando_Magic"]I just noticed that mems picked 5 rappers:?elpooz

Is that even allowed :? ? 

As for the Phyllis Hymann pick, I never s aid anything against it, so it's definitely legal.

Wooooah... Orlando has a DOPE team. Pac, Big, 3 stacks, Chuck D and Bomb Squad for production. I don't know how well BS would work with 3 stacks, but it clicks with all the other three. 

I think I'd put his at #1 atm...

Muffin, Colt, Hash, WGE, tmac, forget and myself are looking good imo at this point. How did tmac get elzhi and black milk :|? And how the hellllll did Orlando get pac and big? I was thinking of picking Pac just to keep him from others, but he didn't fit into my theme. Apoc could have had something really good if he had picked better people between Timbaland and JT...

hi haters. 

Chrisette Michele as my singer. 8)

Drake.

I really like the 5 I have... All my rappers can flow over ?uestlove beats. Well, Weezy isn't really the type that would hop on them, but he can flow on anything, so that's not a problem at all. When the dude is seriously rapping (C2, C1, like half of C3, Dedication 2, etc...), he could flow over the moo of a cow. And Badu sounds epic over ?uestlove. PLUS, they all have chemistry. Lauryn and Wyclef always have, Wyclef and Weezy proved that they did on Sweetest Girl (dudes sounded dope going back and forth throughout the song) and Erykah's voice is versatile enough to be incorporated with almost anything. elpooz

Jay-Z and Em over a RZA beat = fail. You have good people but they do not go together like carrots and peas, dood. 

Whoops, forgot about my pick. So do I go to the last in line or what?

Thoughts on the record labels? Which ones do you guys think is the best overall label? Which would you love to see 3-5 of the labelmates on one track? Least favorites? Lol, try to be objective, and not pick yourselves...it'd be cool if some people outside of the draft could get in on this too. 

i'd rate it

1. Orlando

2. Colt

3. Hash

4. Mems

5. Twilight

honrable mention: elpooz I like his team but he didn't listen to my advice and instead of picking Jeru the Damaja he settled with Lil Wayne. The team with Jeru would have had a better type of chemistry than with Wayne but overall it's still pretty good

WGE also has a solid team, no bad picks there, Ghostface, Q-Tip, Sean Price and Jay Electronica over Dillas beats=Ownage. Actually looking those picks over i'd put him in the top 5

I like Colt's. I woulda liked to have seen him pick Large Professor with his last pick, woulda been a perfect fit.

Pete Rock & Large Pro- "The Rap World"

Nas- "It Ain't Hard to Tell" (prod. Large Pro)

Kool G Rap- "Streets of New York" (prod. Large Pro)

great chemistry, and on top of that Large Pro produced some of Eric B & Rakim's Let the Rhythm Hit Em but was uncredited

And Hash screwed me over by picking Organized Noize lol, I was planning on getting them last round. I was initially hoping for a Andre 3000/Bun B/Scarface/Cee-Lo/Organized Noize team but I think mine ended up pretty good anyways.

aight im bout to pick and Im tryna get a vocalist.. but for my pick, do I have to assume he's working with my producers? like If I took D'Angelo (already taken I know, just a example) is it like he's singing over a Black milk's production b/c he's my producer?

tmac200913

aight I was gonna take The-Dream but I just feel he doesnt fit in with my line-up.. So I pick Rapper Big Pooh to complete Little Brother

so my team is like

Little Brother & Khrysis
Elzhi & Black Milk

word son

I had to choose a rapper andy :?... You're not allowed to have only two.

These are the top five imo:

1. Colt's
2. Orlando's
3. Mine
4. Muffin
5. Hash
