 Shit that's a tough one.
 I'd like to say 213 but they didnt really do enough as a group but were my fave. Onyx so dope and three classic albums(even though at first there were four members), Brand Nubian right up there.
 I dont consider eastsidaz or LBC crew as trios.
 Pharcyde put out one album with three members, dose that count?
 Oh and naughty by nature classic too. Cant decide.

these are groups that spent a majority of their time as trios....

onyx became a trio immediately after releasing their debut and has been a trio ever since

lbc crew = techniec, bad azz, lil c style

eastsidaz = tray deee, goldie loc, snoop

groups who are are mostly known as more than 3 members (bone thugs, public enemy, pharcyde, three six, etc.) cant be included

onyx is the best trio ever.

WSCG is the best super group ever.

Alkaholiks is the best west group.

Westside Connection of course & by far! Second place (ex equo) goes to Tha Eastsidaz & the late great Nate Dogg & 213.
Can't really count LBC CRew cause to me they started as more than 3 (even they only 3 left nowadays).

it's really hard for me to argue against redman considering Redman is my 5th best rapper of all time


but my 7th best rapper is Goretex from Non Phixion and Ill Bill is also in my top 15 lol


so that's how i can debate Non Phixion....on the real though if you never heard Non PHixion got peep their shit it's hip hop GOLD....same with Def Squad of course.

Out of all those Westside Connection is definitely my favorite. I remember being a little kid and hearing "Bow Down," all over the radio, then "Terrorist Threats" dropped when I was in middle school, wasn't nearly as good as their first album in retrospect, but nostalgic for me. Can still bump both of those albums and enjoy them.

Crazy how WSC is winning this poll with only 2 albums, one classic and one average. I can't see how that compares to the Tribe with 3 classics, 2 great albums or De La Soul with 3 classics, 5 great albums.
