You guys did well with the bracket. There was some straying from the criteria, but overall I had to agree for most of the picks. I also have to say I agree 100% with what Joe Budden was saying, some of these people i.e. Plies and Lil Bow Wow, have no business on the list, and others like are ranked higher than the should have been. I think you guys should look at Method Man’s response to Joe Budden, which in my opinion was absolutely no response at all. I think it’s absolutely reasonable to prove yourself in the booth and let the people judge.
