Title: Favorite Outlaw?
Post by: Blood$ on July 18, 2017, 03:20:57 PM
now I would probably have to say Fatal or Napoleon but back in the day I was more partial to EDI for some reason lol

Syke has the best solo material but to me he's beyond The Outlawz, I only included him and Mopreme on here since they technically are official members despite not being on as many tracks as the rest of the group

Fatal by far is the only one that can carry a album. In the line of fire album got a lot of burn in my cassette player back in the day.

I've been bumping a lot of 2Pac & The Outlawz lately & Napoleon has always been my favorite. Always liked his energy & flow.

Back in the day I always liked Kastro, still like his old shit. Lastonesleft off Until The End of Time with Kastro & Napoleon is the shit 8)

Yeah I've always liked Napoleon's flow on tracks like 'When We Ride' and especially when he comes in on the One Nation track 'How Many Shots Will It Take'.

I voted for Hussein Fatal because he was the most lyrical member of the crew and had many standout verses.  EDI had his moments too; his verses on 'First To Bomb' and 'Untouchable' come to mind, among many others.

Big Syke has the most unique voice out of the lot, and shared many great tracks with 2Pac, although I don't consider him as a member of the Outlawz.

It's funny how 2Pac was trying to negotiate a solo deal for Young Noble at the time of his death (according to recent interviews with the Outlawz), but to me he was always one of the lesser members of the collective.

I gotta be honest, i don't think i've ever seen Pac and Young Noble in the same picture together.

There's definitely some pictures of them together. You can see one from The House of Blues performance with Noble right next to Pac.

I voted for Young Noble, because he went on to become the best Outlaw after Pac's death. No other member has produced a body of work comparable to his.

The Outlawz are an underrated group. They always seemed lesser because they were rapping on tracks with the GOAT.

Napoleon had the best flow and energy and emotion

Fatal and Kadafi had the best lyrics

EDI had some thought-provoking content usually

Kastro was always the weakest link, in my opinion

Storm always came correct too.

^Mussolini is Big Syke


I don't consider Big Syke an Outlaw and THUG LIFE is way better as a group than the Outlawz in my opinion.

Fatal and Kadafi are probably the only two who are able to hold their own.

I choose Fatal and Kastro. Kastro has always been very underrated in my opinion.

Two words: Hail Mary.

Easily a top 3 2Pac song, despite the Outlawz being on it. Staring Through My Rear View also has the Lawz on it, and is most likely a top 10 caliber 2Pac song.

Anyways, I picked Napoleon. He's the only Outlaw to ever outshine Pac' on a song (Tradin' War Stories, though everyone killed their verses).

Really?  Kastro has always been in the bottom two Outlawz to me.  What do you think are Kastro's best verses?

if you hated the outlawz of Pac songs then you hated Pac.  no it is fact they were clearly that caliber dudes in PAC'S eyes or they would have not been on those songs .  the Outlawz were Pac's soldiers and children  .

1. Nap was just a ferocious vicious beast! (If yo a$$ get outta line you got a price on yo head, I will wire your jaw etc.) I love his threats of violence. They just came off as sincere.  :D

2. Noble

3. Mopreme

4. Syke
I don't really like the rest individually tbh but as a group they act as a supporting cast that works. They held their own on 'They don't know us' too.

I bought Ride with Us and Novakane. I liked both and they elevated by each release.

A friend of ours used to do security in the building that Fatal's manager used to live in back in the day. Grimy spot not too far from Downtown NWK. Anyway, he either a maxi single or ep of Fatal.

I don't think it was the full cd. Don't remember.
He was hyping it up so I was anxious to check it out. I peep it and wasn't feeling it. The same with Khadafi. People always say he's the best out the group but he's just aiiht to me. Had some good verses but never felt he was nice. I check some stuff out here and there by the Outlawz and Noble is just dead nice at this point. I only remember Storm from like one track on Still I Rise. I'm not impressed by her either. Edi and Kastro always just sounded awkward to me but I like Kas more than Edi.

It's funny how you always talk. It's like when you say it, it just has to be true.

I got Love for all the Outlawz, Kadafi and Big Syke who is an Original Thug Life member are my favs, but the Best Outlaw to put out a solo album was Young Noble with Noble Justice... On any given day, depending on my mood, it changes... They all Raw to me.

Young Noble and Fatal was the best to me

Napoleon and Kadafi(R.I.P.) was the most underated Outlawz

Post by: TraceOneInfinite Flat Earther 96' on November 03, 2021, 05:30:46 AM
I've been listening to Outlawz for years and still have trouble telling them apart.  Kadafi is probably my favorite because he was like 2pac's closest kin so he is therefore the closest heir apparent to Pac's throne.  He was most loyal to Pac and he had a distinct voice and style, though he was too laid back to be anything other than a soldier.  I can't see him on the front line.

--Hussien Fatal was cool and I used to always go to the music store and bump "Everyday" way back when you used to go in and they would let you sample an album I would listen to that track for free but never buy it cause I wasn't feeling the rest of the cuts.

--Napolean may be the best overall because he has done a lot with his life since--he's really famous in the world Islamic Community known as a "Daeee" or one who calls people to the religion of Islam; and he does this traveling all over the world.  He also still contributes to Pac's legacy with interviews and books and rides for Pac keeping his name strong.  He's living a good life with family and success in business outside of rap as well.  Napolean also made the best Pac tribute song with 'Never Forget" with Val Young and its too bad the rest of the album didn't drop cause it had Johnny J production and was going to be a really memorable album with a lot of replay value.

The other guys I really can't tell apart.  Noble, the one that was always the fat guy, the previously skinny but now fat one, and the rest of them I can't even tell apart.  Like put their picture in front of me and I can't say which one it is; or put them on the stereo and I can't always tell who it is off hand.  Even Kadafi and Fatal I still get mixed up.  Napolean is the only one who has a distinct voice and style to my ears.

Kadafi - raps kind of with a weak and high pitched voice, skinny guy, laid back always looks high as fucc
Fat Guy - voice sounds like all the others
Guy who used to be skinny but is now fat - voice sounds like all the others
Fatal Hussien -  Voice and Style is too much like Kadafi and the others
Napolean - distinct look, voice, and style from the others--but not any better than them on the mic
Pac's step brother - had a hit before Pac actually was on a joint with Toni Toni Toni, but can't tell him apart in audio either, was he even in Outlawz offically or just Thug Life
Storm - obviously I can recognize her cause shes a female, she was cool, what the hell ever happened to her?

Then it gets even more confusing when you think about Dramacydal and Thug Life group and now I'm even more mixed up
