Growing up one of my fav comics was Marvel's "what if'" series. You had comics like what if Dr. Doom Was Part of The Fantastic Four? What if Aunt May Died Instead of Uncle Ben? And what if the X Men Died on Their First Mission?" So, this week we're chopping it up about hip hop what if's...some of em are true and some are just topics that we thought were ill. Some of them are true what if' like what if MC Shan was on the Symphony...is it still the best posse cut and what if LL uses the Mardi Gras break for "Rock the Bells" before Run and 'em use it for Peter Piper? And some of the jawns we made up are questions I've really heard cats say like what if Pete Rock didn't make Reminisce, is he still a top 5 producer & is Mecca & The Soul Brother still a hip hop classic? (you can guess that Grap had A LOT to say about that one) and what if KRS One lost to MC Shan in the Bridge Wars is he STILL the Blastmaster that we know and love?

So check us out but my 3 questions for ya'll are...what if Large Pro produced the entire Illmatic...is it still the classic album we know it to be? What if Tupac had never been shot at Quad studios so he had no beef with BIg & Puff, do we still get an east coast/west coast war and what if Rakim battled Big Daddy Kane in '88 on stage and on wax...who wins?
