Favorite Rap Group of All-Time

Re: Favorite Rap Group of All-Time

I must admit, I still love and bump those old Cash Money hits. Say what you want to about their lyrics.....they were charismatic and the beats were insane. I can still ride to BG's "Cash Money Is An Army".

Im w\ you on this.....
Those beats were ridiculous though man! Mannie Fresh had some bangers!

"We On Fire"
"Cash Money Is a Army"
"Get off the corner"
"Playin It Raw" (sampled a Mega Man X4 best)
"Five"

I got the Cash Money Platinum Instrumentals CD, me and my boys still freestyle to it

Only rap concert or rappers I have ever lessteined to is Veaga check him out.

I saw him at a Metal V.S. Rap concert. Damn the rap crowds get rowdy and get pissed at us hardcore dancers (metal) haha there were bullets going off at the show. But here check out Veaga he is nuts IMO.

NWA

Re: Favorite Rap Group of All-Time

NWA

Sometimes the obivious choice is still the best choice.

I concur.

Re: Favorite Rap Group of All-Time

Prodigy has sucked since 2001 but his last cd "Return of the Mac" was one of my favorites from 2007.

I liked return of the mac but mainly because the production was so strong. Alchemist wasted so many beats on this dude.

Re: Favorite Rap Group of All-Time

I don't understand saying that the Wu fell off, but giving the Mobb a pass either. Both groups fell, but I rate them based on their body of work in it's entirety (36, tical, supreme, OB4CL, etc. Infamous, Hell On Earth, Murda Musik, HNIC, etc.) rather than what have you done for me lately.



I agree. And honestly, I think his career was ended by one man.



I think that's the point when it all came crumbling down for the Mobb. I still don't think he's recovered. Just like I truly believe Em and 50 buried Ja's career. Notice, Ja is just now starting to come back now that Eminem is MIA and 50 is falling off hard.

Tru Stories man.

Re: Favorite Rap Group of All-Time

I like The Lox but Sheek is awful.

Dude is beyond awful. I think P is a bit overrated as well.

Tough to pick one group, but for me at the top it would be

Wu-Tang
The Roots
Gang Starr

Outkast is a group I thought would have been up there after their first album, but for me each album they've released has been worse than the last. I know lots of people were really feeling Hey-Ya and all that mess, but I thought i was terrible, just personal preference.

Never liked the Beastie Boys.

Mobb Deep's first album was a classic (I guess the Infamous isn't really their first album, but no one listened to Juvenile Hell). They released a couple decent albums later on, but never really matched it.

Public Enemy, NWA, EPMD, BDP, Geto Boys, are all obviously up there as well.

Sheek was actually a better rapper w\ bad boy for some reason
Styles p has his moments
and Jada is always hot....

they always mesh on the track though

They are always hit or miss with me.

Re: Favorite Rap Group of All-Time

there are certain rappers who if they are in a song, ill listen to it everytime just to hear thier verse...

Eminem
Jay-Z
Cassidy
Fab
Wayne
Luda

and Jada-muah
guess thats why I tolerate alot of LOX stuff

Re: Favorite Rap Group of All-Time

Styles P is great. So is Jada. Sheek has some great verses, but over all not close to their level. I can't see how anyone can say P is overrated though.

Like you said, Jada is hot. His flow is insane, I also have to listen if he is on a track.

As for that list, must have DMX on there. DMX is still my all time fav, dude is sick.




Also, Mobb Deep fell off after the 1st album. Not even close.

EDIT: This is one of my fav Sheek verses, he killed it here. He isn't as consistent, but he isn't awful, IMO.

Re: Favorite Rap Group of All-Time

So many, but the top for me would be Outkast, ATCQ, Westside Connection, Geto Boyz, and 213 (not the album they put out but the great tracks they put on each individual's albums in the mid and late 90's).

213's album had some nice beats.
