Certain rappers would benefit from being in a REAL group

[Bars4TheCause]

Spitta, French Montana, Smoke DZA, and Harry Fraud should be a group. Spitta brings out the best in both of them.

Now how the fukk would J. Cole benefit from being in a group? A dukewho has 2 albums both well received selling what 700k + 2 certified classic mixtapes and a collection of dope ass EP's.
All produced by him (with a few exceptions) with approximately 1.25 rapping feature per project, Drake, Omen, Wale, K dot and Jay-z on 4 projects (nearly 80 songs). He only got outshined by Jay and that was on a bad track. (Obviously not counting Looking for trouble in which he destroyed Kanye, Pusha and Sean).

The only problem with this type of statement is that, a great group has to do with chemistry and shyt like that.
We all know great rappers coming together does not equal a dope group. Even Jay, Big, Nas and Pac in their prime probably wouldn't have been a better group than N.W.A..

a bunch of legendary or great rappers coming together doesn't automatically mean a great group or album. the whole point of a group is to have a balance of MC's. how many groups are there where EVERY member is a top tier MC? i can't really think of one. NWA had Ice Cube & they had Eazy, Wu-Tang has GZA & U-God, ATCQ has Phife & Tip, Bone has Krayzie & Wish. cats need to know their role & play their role.

arent they a duo now?

Double entendre. Won't even ax you how

 

[Uncle Phil 36]

arent they a duo now?

Are they? I thought they were still solo artists just doing the Rich Gang as a side project

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

Cole don't need no group

Aren't both his albums at like 700k sold

his music is WEAK.

Rappers don't need to be in formal groups as much as they need to be in camps/collectives. Something like TDE is a good example, a group of artists, producers, engineers, graphic artist, videographer, etc, that collaborate consistently on putting together something that has its own unique feel.

Nah, a real group with people you have chemistry with >>>>>> these weak ass collectives with 13 members, 9 of which no one knows.


So glad Migos realizes this, these dudes would be ass on their own, but being in a group makes each of their strengths shine, their flows, takeoff's voice, offset's lyrics, quavo's energy and hooks. You don't get this in a collective, in a collective each of them would be trying to be a star. There is some chemistry that just works in a real group, with dudes you know and vibe with.

I could see Quavo having success on his own. He got the co-signs and contacts needed.

that's post-migos tho, which always happens with groups, the produce that person who can go soloe. had he come out the gate solo, he'd be just another new atlanta gucci/future knock off.

 

[KingsOfKings]

Very true

 

[get these nets]

Didnt effect his solo output, but best Geto Boys album was when Big Mike was in the group.

Otherwise, GBs are a lopsided group with Face shining, Bill saying rhymes that Face wrote, and Willie sometimes being a contrasting voice and energy

Mike made it a better group.
