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

[R-Tistic]

What are some duos, whether it's rap, R&B, or anything else, that you really can't tell apart on songs unless you pay close attention? It took me a few songs to tell Dre and Big Boi apart...and even longer for Mobb Deep, just because I didn't listen to them. I even got Puff and Ma$e mixed up before I knew who Ma$e was, like on 112 "Only you" remix.

I'd say....The Clipse..I have never really paid enough attention to them individually. For the Young Gunz, I can tell them apart on a song, but if you throw one of them on their own song, I probably couldn't say who it was at first. Slum Village...I haven't heard enough of their music to really pay attention to who's who in close detail, but I know they sound different. Dilated Peoples...I have never paid attention to them enough.

For R&B...I can usually tell the lead singer, and that's it. For 112, I can only tell Slim...for Jagged Edge, I know one dude's voice stands out, but I don't know which one he is. For early New Edition, I can only tell Bobby and Ralph. Blackstreet, I never paid them close enough attention individually. Boyz II Men..I can tell all of their voices apart, but can't put names or faces to them without watching. Gap Band...all I know is Charlie, who easily stands out. Guy...all I know is Aaron Hall by voice. Isley Brothers, I only know Ron. Kool and the Gang, I don't know any members names. Next, I just know know RL.

evidence and raaka deffinately dont sound alike.......very differnet voices, styles, lyrical structure ect.

[The Watcher]

jesus christ

you cant tell evidence & raaka apart? stop listening to rap

[Sikotic™]

D-12 and Cunninlynguists.

[Tay]

Dilated Peoples...I have never paid attention to them enough.

Since they are one of my favorite groups, it is obvious which one is which, but he admitted that he doesn't listen to them. Yukmouth and Numskull of the Luniz used to sound pretty similar, but both of their styles have changed a lot. Cunninlynguists seem to sound a little different from each other, but it is kind of tough and I have barely and idea who is who. If you spend enough time listening to almost any group, you can differentiate between members, but if you only know a few songs, there's a good chance that you will not be able to tell. Also, it took a long time to figure out who each member was listening to Living Legends, Hieroglyphics, and Wu-Tang because there are so many damn rappers in the groups.

LOL...as I said, I don't listen to them. I am not the type to try to front like I know it all...and I'm sure that if I played one of their songs right now, I would be like "ohhhhhh.....ok yeah I know who's who" but I'm not tryin to impress anybody. I'm sure I know MUCH MORE than enough about Rap to make up for not knowin this...so I'll pass on your suggestion.

Yeah that's definitely the truth...I didn't pay any attention to who was who with the Luniz until Yuk came out solo. For Living Legends, I only know Murs by himself, because that's my blood. Hiero, I don't know. Wu-Tang, I didn't know until some of them started coming out solo.

[R1ZE]

nappy roots, clipse,

[Lion King]

Ying Yang Twinz

[Cheese]

hah good topic. I have difficulties with d12 and the clipse too.

[R-Tistic]

LOL hell yeah with Nappy Roots and Ying Yang, even though I play Ying Yang at every party. Field Mob too...I realize it's different artists, but I don't know them by name. With Ying Yang, it's no hope though LOL

[CRAFTY]

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.

[Styles1]

Onyx at first.... cuz everybody in the group was screaming thier heads off. Also Das Efx because they both used the same style.

[K.Dub]

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