Based on my analysis, I believe the government faked the plane crash and demolished the WTC North Tower with explosives. The South Tower, in a simultaneous but unrelated plot was brought down by actual terrorists. Is it a deal? | |

The Message (Grandmaster Flash)
the Show (Doug E Fresh & The Get Fresh Crew) Rappers Delight (Sugarhill Gang) Paid In Full (Eric B & Rakim) this one is close, but I think Paid in full is more of a landmark. | |

I've got this old school "Sugar Hill Gang vs Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five" comp. The concept is supposed to be a boxing match. Don't remember how many rounds. One song by each act is played and then there's some ringside commentary by Ice T and someone else, can't remember. I won't say who won.  | |

The Breaks (Kurtis Blow) vs. The Message (Grandmaster Flash) Walk This Way (Run DMC) vs. The Show (Doug E Fresh & The Get Fresh Crew) Bring the Noise (Public Enemy) vs. Paid In Full (Eric B & Rakim) sorry, polls are down, so please proceed to round 2 --> http://www.prince.org/msg/8/101290 anyway, thanx for posting, and Kurtis Blow is surely happy to get at least ONE vote to save his honors, but competing against the Message, ain't easy Vanglorious... this is protected by the red, the black, and the green.
