While I remember him saying most of those listed so far, the thing I'll always remember him for (other then his obsession for wheels) was his constant and often repeated use of the word 'okay.' I think I counted it once in back a show (God knows how long ago that was) and stopped after 20 or so. He was good for a laugh, though.

Hm, dunno bout that really.
Toast is wicked as well, i don't really like to compare those two as they are both on another level imo.

But yea, if i had to pick someone i'd be task.
Best mc yet!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't MC's generally rhyme or flow? In which case the only MCs that do that are SP and Joker D, and though I'm not a fan of Hosts/MC's as a whole I can appreciate their unique influence in a set; Ive actually grown quite fond of Youngsta and SP on the mic since he tends to let the tunes roll out more than most. Although I must say that Youngsta is best when he's alone, he knows when a track has to be wheeled, and the hype or energy just resonates from his mixing and selection. I've never really felt there ever needed to be someone on the mic to remind everyone of it.

That said, Toast has his place... as did Task, but to me his solo set in 2009 (has it been that long?) focused the attention where it belongs: Youngsta. Its is still the best set I have ever heard since. I thought we'd get lucky last week with the potential of one, but it wasn't to be. That would have been a good send-off after so many years on his Thursday slot.

Yea indeed, they're more of host than they are an Mc, but what's in a name really....

There was another one, where toast was late and yunx just went on, it might have been a youngsta b2b km, I can't remember. But it was good, too.

I always wondered who that George guy/person was, and how he (?) fit into all of this... he looks like he got lost after leaving a Boy George concert or is an Anglo double for that Japanese dude from Smashing pumpkins. Who is he and what tracks did he make to get a spot? Not hating or anything, just wondering what the deal is since I know who everyone else is in that picture.
