5 Favorite rap duos ?
« on: September 13, 2011, 06:21:55 AM »
Duos are a staple in Hip Hop music, and a sought after commodity.

with different types of duos : the DJ/MC type of duo (Eric B. & Rakim, Gang Starr, etc.), the Producer/Rapper type of duos with the latter being the microphone specialist and the former having sometimes honorable/good microphone skills (Mobb Deep, UGK, Dogg Pound, etc.) or the MC/MC type of duos where both members are only mc's (and maybe occasional producers) (8Ball & MJG, CNN, OutKast, etc.)

I did not include BDP & the Beatnutz, because they were not duos originally. neither did I include Run DMC, NBN, Above the Law, even though only 2 of their members are rapping, they're not duos per se.


My list isn't who I consider the best duos but rather the groups I personally prefer and bump the most.

1. Gang Starr
2. OutKast
3. Dogg Pound
4. U.G.K.
5. Playaz Tryna Strive => duo from Vallejo composed of T-Pup & Philthy Rich. only 1 album released in 96 "all frames of the game" but what an album !! incredible production throughout the effort with live instruments used. very good chemistry between the two rappers who also happen to be decent lyricists and microphone technicians.

From that list, not in order:

  • Tha Dogg Pound
  • Mobb Deep
  • Method Man & Redman
  • M.O.P.
  • Gangstarr

I actually voted for Outkast instead of Gangstarr though.

Oh man, that's a tough question.

Outkast, UGK, Mobb Deep, JMT, Gangstarr, Meth & Red are all good duos, and I'm sure I forgot some.

MOP
Outkast
Gangstarr
UGK
Smif N Wessun

some would... some would but theyd be fucking clowns. you're reaching hard here son. sounds like hating to me. i mean if you want to critique mobb fine but think on their impact compared to that of boot camp. i love smif n wess but they arent even the strongest duo in boot camp anyway
