Groups you honestly can't tell the members apart....

[R-Tistic]

I think most people have indeed had this problem at some point, especially in the very beginning when you get to know a certain group.
For me, I remember I couldn't tell Pimp-C apart from Bun-B. But that was just a matter of voices. I had never heard any of their voices apart. So I had to really concentrate at first on the lyrics where they would say something along the lines of "this is Bun-B", and after a while I got a hold of it. Watching videos also helps to identify the voice with the right artist.

Good topic btw.

Yeah, that's definitely the case. If I don't see a video, or hear the artists apart on a few songs, it can be nearly impossible. I didn't start noticin Pimp and Bun apart until 02 or so when they started gettin on tracks separate...then I was like damm, they are completely different.

the clipse from time 2 time

First thing that comes to mind is D Block / Lox.

I couldn't tell the Outlawz' member from each other back in the days

Clipse
Above The Law
Do Or Die
Hierioglyphics
J5
Nappy Roots
SAS
Slum Village
SCC

I couldn't tell the Lox back when they first dropped, but I can now. With all those other groups...I definitely can't, even though I'm sure I could if I really listened to them. I can tell with SAS though.

Everybody can tell Outkast apart, but it probably took me until 96-97 to see the difference, because they both had the same nasally voice, and their styles were more similar then. After a while, it's like damm, they are on some Magic n Kareem shit...different as hell, but it works perfect.

i can tell nappy roots pretty easily..probably due in part cause i think 1 of them boys is HELLA under-rated...skinny deville

Clipse for sure, Channel Live, shit I know there's more but I can't think of any. 

I remember when "Can't Nobody Hold Me Down", came out I had no idea there were 2 dudes rappin on that until I saw the video, lol.

I've been listening to Quik's music for a minute now, and I still can't tell 2nd II None, AMG, and Hi-C apart. They all sound alike to me. Good thread!

Definetely Mobb Deep and Outkast's earlier stuff.

I remember having trouble when I first started listening to rap (2002?) with N.W.A.  Eazy-E was obvious, but I can't remember if I had trouble with Ren/Cube or Ren/Dre   Looking back now, I have no idea why I had this problem.............

With the exception of EDI, Noble and Mussolini, I find the Outlawz hard to tell apart(esp. when they were Dramacydal).

[MontrealCity's Most]

i still cant tell the difference between Havoc and prodigy sometimes. Fuck it i just enojoy their music. Well before the hole g unit thing anyways lol.

[Lord Funk]

Outlawz for sure. It doesn't help that they can't rap for shit.
