Man, when Onyx first hit.... :wow:



Hadn't seen anything like the frenzy they started since Straight Outta Compton dropped.

nikkas started cutting their locs/fades and rockin baldies immediately.

Then Hit Squad and Wu came right after and snatched all their thunder.

Them nikkas stayed dropping heat though.

That second Onyx album is a 90s classic that doesn't get nearly the respect it deserves.





3rd one was crazy too.



:wow:

You ain't never lied, breh :ohhh:

I ain't never heard this shyt, but I would've sworn this was straight outta '91without a shadow of a doubt.

Sounds like some early LONS shyt feat. Grand Puba

Onyx first 2, Classics period
and their production doesn't get enough credit too, I finally realized this after they kept bigging up their producer and friend that passed

He only did the first album though.

They produced the second album themselves with help from Agallah on a couple tracks, and I believe they produced the whole 3rd album themselves.

Them nikkas are truly some of the most unsung artists in Hip-Hop history, especially when you add in all the acting they did.

shyt's crazy.
