Yeah I remember them. Did they ever do an entire album?
God Connections is great. That song in particular is my fav off of that.

My bad, the name of the group was Missin Linx (Al Tariq, Black Attack, and Problemz) I thought F.T. was in the group since he recorded with them. They did a 6 track EP called Exhibit A.

All the songs are on YouTube

#byrdgang...Bleedin Green
I dont really put Noyd in the category, he isnt a star but he has been known for a while as the 3rd (unofficial) Mobb Deep member. he had dope albums. if you name him, you have to name MOP's 3rd member, Teflon. My Will was one of the hardest albums to come out back in the 90's. Both him and Noyd still tour with their respective groups today.



I was gonna post Teflon...I always thought bruh was aight...I saw him as the Big Noyd of MOP

heard this on stretch and bobbito .. long before they signed to badboy


I was a huge McGruff fan. His album destined to be is a personal classic.












the outsidaz ep and album was tight..


Pace Won was my favorite rapper for a bit, hes got a great catalog. Nightlife is a top 3 goat EP. The Outsidaz were super underrated. I really wish Em pushed them and not D12. If they had ski n Dre together in the studio for their follow up album it would have been legendary.

Stapletown..Shaolin
Gauge is


I was a Scienz of Life stan. I literally wrote these dudes fan mail when I was in high school :russ:, and I'm not talking email either. Hand written shyt!

I still got a few unreleased tracks they never put out before they finally got around to dropping an album.




Gauge I found out years later was actually originally in a group with Cella Dwellas and Lord Have Mercy. Can you fukking imagine if these dudes put out an album together? There wasn't a bigger Cella Dwellas fan on the planet than me back in '95, '96, so that shyt wouldn't have left my tape deck to this day.



Gauge is now a Christian rapper..

Artifacts .... one of the guys .. forgot is name is Redmans cousin









Tame One. And they're not real cousins. Their cousins on some "yeah, that's my 'cousin' shyt", lol. Black folk quick to claim our homeboys and day ones as kinfolk. :russ:

Funny that the whole "top 5, 10, etc" rapper lists have been burning up social media recently. Rap City did that one month back around 2002 or so and had a bunch of rappers on listing their top 5. And Redman actually said even though alot of people aren't up on him, Tame One is to him the illest MC he's ever heard. Like, he was giving Tame major props and wasn't joking in the slightest. You know you're fukking nasty if Redman is fawning over your mic skills.

Tame is actually my second favorite MC from Jersey behind Wise Intelligent from Poor Righteous Teachers, which is another forgotten 90s group who don't get anywhere near the recognition they should aside from Rock Dis Funky Joint.

Peep my avi. Although New World Order is my favorite PRT album, Wise blacked the the fukk out on the Black Business LP. IMO he's a top 10 MC period, dead or alive.

Was both a member of Ruckus Click (Smoothe The Hustla, Trigger Tha Gambler, D.V. Alias Khrist, and another cat I can't remember) and actually a Wu affiliate as well. Had a handful of tracks with Raekwon and other Wu affiliates. He also did the chorus on my favorite track off Cappadonna's debut album The Pillage ("Everything is Everything).

I swore up and down "Blowin Up Spots" was gonna be the new "Flava In Ya Ear" when I heard it for the first time in '97. Had it got play beyond college mix shows, it mighta caught on.
