Organized Konfusion (Pharoahe Monch & Prince Po)... Two absolute classic albums and a third that was still very high quality but not on the same level. Produced most of their own tracks, and both had flows that were years ahead of their time (and to be honest, still have only been rivaled a few times in hip hop's history).

From the ones you listed, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, then Outkast. I was never into Eric B & Rakim.

holy **** i keep forgetting Organized Konfusion, they are one of my favorites, Releasing Hypnotical Gases is one of the most amazing songs i have ever heard

01-25-2009, 05:38 AM

i had to vote for Outkast just because...
they're my favorite.

i don't know if they're the best.
but i love Outkast.

ps though serious piggyback on the O.K.
slept on classic material no doubt

Gangstarr and Outkast are a tie.

Double K and Thes One are right there in my book too though.

When they actually work together AZ & Nas are the best though.

The Flyest
The Essence
Lifes A *****
Gimme Yours
Mo Money Mo Murda Mo Homicide
How Ya Livin'

on down the line. An exclusive AZ/Nas album would be on some other ****.

This site doesnt give the mobb any respect...some of yall are some haters that caught feelings because mobb deep signed with 50 and made some money.

The Infamous
Hell on Earth
Murda Muzik

3 consecutive classics

This thread is really between mobb deep, outkast, and eric b. and rakim. Anything else i dont respect. Those 3 groups all had 3 consecutive classics, most of their fans agree.

mos def and talib only had one cd together

epmd and gangstarr didnt have the consecutive classics

pete rock and cl smooth is a great duo, but probably the worst on the list

I dont **** with UGK but i know their fans speak highly of them, I can respect those who pick them too.

mobb deep, outkast, eric b and rakim, ugk....thats who the poll should have

Give mobb deep some love

remake this thread

/thread.

smh.....every gangstarr album is a classic bruh. pete rock and cl smooth were groundbreaking and influenced alot of artists......frankly i never really got into mobb deep other than the infamous which is a timeless classic but i respect the hell out of them.

I like Outkast over EPMD, Pete Rock CL Smooth & Gang Starr.

Surprised not to see Nice & Smooth, UGK, or Red & Meth on the poll...

Eric B did not rap.

Good point. If both don't have to rap, then DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince or Slick Rick & Doug E Fresh deserve a mention...

Premo doesn't rap either, what difference does that make?

MegStarr*

01-25-2009, 07:08 PM

This poll should probably either include rap duos that BOTH rap, or rap duos that consist of a producer and an MC.

and if Mobb Deep is on the list, CNN should be as well.

yeah that squad was stacked. talent-wise webber was as good as any other pf to play the game. i mean that. especially offensively.

i personally liked tony delk more than bobby jackson tho. i'll always remember when bobby got into it with mcgrady. dude wasn't gonna get punked.

Although they only have one album together, Blu & Exile had ridiculously good chemistry on Below the Heavens, one of the best hip hop albums of decade.

But still, Organized Konfusion for the win.
