SPIN: Was ONYX corny?

[Awesome Wells]

Didn't even realize that...who was considered an onyx clone?

Mad groups and MC's. But these dudes were crucified for blatantly being the most promoted Onyx clone back then.

 

[Mac Ten]

Onyx were cool but they were a little animated with the mean mugging though....


Fredro got smacked by 50 and Sticky almost got his snot box rocked by Saigon

 

[Mac Ten]

Fredro produced the entire All We Got Iz Us album

8-Off ghost produced the album under Fredro Starr's name...

This here.

Agallah did like the whole album, but Fredro took credit for the beats. Video Music Box had an episode with 8-Off and Onyx in the studio with Treach and some other people, and he was making some of the tracks in there, and playing beats for them. Album drops, and the credits said that Fredro did all the joints. Foul business.

:pushes up imaginary glasses like Stringer Bell:

Onyx birthed Wu Tang. They definitely wasn’t corny. No more than corny than other artists of that era. Naughty by nature comes to mind but Onyx was grimey like Mobb Deep

Really though?

This was one of the hardest bites of all time

Damn, that’s wack! But I heard Fredro provided Agallah with all the samples he wanted and allowed him to create the beats from that which is why he took producer credit & added him as co-producer on some tracks

 

[WIA20XX]

Y'all young.

Onyx before the rebrand



And Wu Tang before the rebrand

 

[MurderToCassette]

You could do this Naughty By Nature too, their rebrand from 89 to 91 was crazy

 

[EastsideRio]

Detroit nikkas in the 90’s would do hits and have whole shootouts to Throw Ya Guns in the Air

Who’s mans is this?

 

[EastsideRio]

Scuffin Those Knees

 

[Yehuda]

I'd rather listen to M.O.P.

Heres a banger from 03/04 that never released

Oh, wow, this is fire.

 

[Pegasus Jackson]

Because I was two years old when it was released Slam is the only hit they have that I'm aware of.



Onyx was before my time, not sure why you're so angry about this

Coltrane and Funkadelic were before my time.. i still went back and listened.

You little nikkas some ignorant motherfukkers.

Hip hop need to catch up on what a real producer is. Fredro prolly came up with all the song ideas and samples and then reworked ags beats til they were done. To me , then fredro was the producer. Ag shoulda got more credit tho.
