Arthur Baker vs Rick Rubin

new order (obviously)
freez (gotta admit this one)
loleatta "crash goes love" (dissing sylvester??)
new grandmaster flash lp (on ninja tune??? good for a laugh, actually...)
hall & oates
mastering on "low rider" by war
remastering bowie's "fame", nkotb "hang tough", neneh cherry "buffalo stance"

okay and yeah there's all that "walking on sunshine" / "planet patrol" / "play at your own risk" and so on but like other people noted:

1) john robie
2) aldo marin
3) jonzun crew
4) newcleus
5) kraftwerk
6) latin rascals

and so on and so forth

C: What was your creative input on “Planet Rock”?

“Planet Rock” was actually a routine we used to do with “Super Sperm,” “Trans-Europe express” by Kraftwerk and “Numbers” by Kraftwerk. We put the routine together and gave it to John Robie who did most of the programming and that later became “Planet Rock.”

J: What was Arthur Baker’s input?

Arthur Baker was like the conductor. He had less to do with our stuff than anybody but he took more of the credit and money. When you got a bunch of guys that’s not really involved with this business and you put them in a situation where they’re exposed to money, you think getting four thousand dollar checks is big money but you don’t realize he’s getting fifty, sixty, seventy thousand dollars

And considering the 1st two Run DMC albums were produced by larry larr, and only one Run DMC album was Rick Rubin (you can't front on Tougher than Leather, even if it's not a perfect album), Rubin can't be credited with Run's career totally.

that's pretty much the desert island disc, except it's missing "it's like that" and "down with the king".

also rick rubin produced BABY GOT BACK you fools!!!

CASE CLOSED, MOTHERFUCKERS

Rubin has never made any Miami Bass songs - only proto-bass ala Rock the Bells. Being the 1st release of Mix's on (Def) American, the story tells itself. Another label owner crediting himself to secure extra publishing.

Best Run DMC is easily the debut album. Shit not only changed my life, but, uh, all Hip-Hop. The non-Disco/non-Electro Hip-Hop sound begins with the Sucker MC's/It's Like That single.

Agreed except for the Deloused In The Comatorium diss. Although as much as I like that record it's hardly a make-or-break credential for either side to have.
Vahid certainly wins points for style though.
