New York City is many things great, including the home of The Juice Crew:

(This is way better than thinking about the Yanks right now.)

If baseball was a house, the Yanks would be evicted?

Where's KRS? He's representin' The Bronx better than the Yankees, too.

Who is Big Daddy Kane: Jeter or Nady?

[Nick-YF]

Big Daddy Kane is the cleanup hitter. So he's A-Rod.

[DR]

I guess that would go with your player looks rating. If Posada was playing he would be Kool G Rap - underrated, tough as nails and generally awesome (though not paticularly handsome). Too bad all he has now are the ill street blues. We lose!

[sf rod]

i'll play along....

mo = kool herc (the originator)
jeter = kurtis blow (the gentle mc)
cano = flavor flav (gimicky)
damon = lady-b
abreu = jam-master jay (he's on the 1's and 2's, those derby days are gone)

sox mc's....

pedroia = eazy e (he's gangster)
lugo = gerardo (please, just go away)
lester = gang starr (un-fade-able)
tek/youk/drew = third base (gas face)

[Nick-YF]

nice, sf-rod!

A-Rod is NO Big Daddy Kane. Big Daddy Kane, one of the most underrated MC's of all time. That's not A-Rod. I would say A-Rod is more like Jay Z or Kanye West.

Tek is definitely MC Serch. Good for a little while, then disappears into thin air. (Of late Tek is the new improved Serch, 2008 Serch of White Rapper Show/Ms. Rap Supreme fame)

Here's My List:

KRS One = Mike Mussina No respect by the masses, but for those who know the game plenty of it.

BIG = Jeter (Minus the early exit, God forbid) Everywhere you go whether it's Iowa or NYC people know BIG and they know his music. He gets put into the circle of the best of all time because of the intense love his fans have for him, not necessarily because he was the best...Sound like anyone we know?

Snoop = Johnny Damon Lots of fun to be around both, both pretty talented but in the end I think both have had long term success because of their personalities.

Redman = Papelbon Neither men take themselves serious except when they are doing their job. Both men will warriors when in their zone and doing their thing.

Jadakiss = Mo Jada's voice is his strongpoint, Mo's is his cutter. Both use them to their fullest potential. Both loved in NY and respected elsewhere.

Eminem = Joba Both took the long route to success. Both are young and powerful. Both are a little cocky and come across as a little over the top.

I can do this all day, but I have to get some real work done, LOL.

I know I went outside the spectrum of the video...my bad.
