Slick Rick and a tourney bracket together, what could go wrong?

Grandmaster Flash And The Furious Five is more than just the dudes P Diddy liked to sample from, these are as OG as it gets to the rap game. If there were a 70s bracket they'd belong there having been formed in 1976, (though they didn't get widespread acclaim until the early 80s) these homies brought turntables and break beats to the genre, and were among the pioneers of giving a crap in their rap. Truly cutting edge.

Slick Rick is more than just the last WASHINGTON coach to WARBTPO, he's one of the great emcees from the early days of rap. Like a lot of people in my generation I discoverd him thanks to Montel Jordan (I didn't realize Snoop was covering him until later). Had I put him and Doug E Fresh together they probably would have been a top 6 seed, but they did enough on their own to stand alone. Easily the GOAT British rapper, Slick has one of the most distinct sounds in the history of the game. When he rocked up on the mic he rocked the mic right.
