Geto Boys Vs NWA

[The_Hillsta]

Gotdamn, love both those groups....got NWA on this tho.

Remember coppin Death Certificate and We Can't Be Stopped tape the same day...

fvck it

 

[Monoblock]

someone already brought up Arabian Prince

and you can't just write off Cube leaving like it was whatever. dude was obviously responsible for more than just his rhymes ("Ice Cube writes the rhymes that I say...). in fact he left because he felt he wasn't being compensated for all the work he did

the way I see it, 'the real' NWA had one album

Again I said "members left and CAME BACK"
Man I know all of this no need to start posting pictures trying to teach me a history lesson. Where did I say or even suggest Cube's leaving was "like it was whatever"? I even stated his classic solo albums and his influence in the group is already known but I personally think the better album was nikkaz4Life. Dre was in a fukking zone on that album and Ren killed it throughout along with Eazy. Basically everybody brought it on that album. I know the more influential album is Straight Outta Compton but when I go back and listen to both I just prefer nikkaz4Life. They made one classic with Cube and one without him as far as I'm concerned.
Hell now that I think about it Face wasn't even a member of Geto Boys until Grip It On That Other Level which is technically their second album.

NWA = Biggest Impact. NWA made more of an impact in the rap industry. They pretty much took the US by storm especially with White America.

Geto Boys = The Longevity. Geto Boys was hard back in the day as well but didn't get their due until they dropped "Mind Playing Tricks On Me".

Loved them both, but personally liked Geto Boys's albums a bit more.

As much as I like NWA I stopped really feeling them after 100 Miles and Running EP. loved the beats on nikka4Life but I always felt that the lyrics and the content felt somewhat juvenile. Like cartoon gangsta or something and I think they get a pass for that off of the strength of the name. Ice Cube was the soul of the group and it wasn't the same after he left.

The Geto Boys are a severely underappreciated group, without Scarface, Willie and Bushwick, there really wouldn't be a South, so while NWA is more influential as a whole, I would argue that they were really the 2nd or 3rd best group from their era, if you take away the influence. The thing is if you are talking Texas, Oklahoma and Tenessee hip-hop almost every fukking rapper traces their roots to the Rap-A-Lot records and the Geto Boys. So I might even say the Geto Boys ended up having a longer reaching impact.

I won't really go into the solo stuff because it ultimately ends up being Cube vs Scarface.

I can understand and agree with the bolded to a degree. Maybe it was an age thing at the time but to this day to me it felt like a more complete album. Cube was the heart of that group though. Didnt he write Eazy's solo EZ Duz It too? That album was tough too.

Geto Boys then and now

 

[RajWatts]

NWA was way too influential for this to be a legitimate comparison. Cube, Dre, and Eazy directly had an effect on artists like Snoop, Em, Nas, Game, all the way up to modern day artists like Kendrick.

Scarface was the only truly influential rapper from Geto Boyz and you don't really hear storytelling like that nowadays. Maybe J. Cole has potential w his storytelling abilities but he has a long way to go

 

[verbaltelekinesis]

Dog, it comes down to rhymes for me and I love Cube but he is not better than Face, NOPE!

 

[Long Live The Kane]

If we're talking about just their group material I'd prolly say Geto Boys just mainly because I listened to them far more in real time because they kept putting out material throughout the 90's...mostly a function of my age cause I was super young when Straight Outta Compton dropped...they broke up before i could really fully appreciate it like I did The Chronic, Cube's and Eazy's later solo joints...impact, NWA obviously has it...i never really fukked with Willie D's solo shyt, might have to double back and check it out...fukked with Big Mike's though and Face's obviously
