Yeah, I wish they could do both too. Goddamn Eliminator and Afterburner were massive chunks of the soundtrack of my youth.

Rubin though? Allow me to be "that guy" and say overrated. For the good of the order, and in the spirit of the Beasties suggestion above, let me throw LL Cool J out there. Much more than the Beasties, Uncle L really could use a hand. Of course, in both instances the man we really should be talking to is Jazzy Jay who actually put together the beats and got elbowed out of Def Jam by Russell Simmons, which folds back into why I think Rubin is overrated.
