With the current rap climate (poor sales)
I do not forecast another good rap group for a long long time...
When I say group I mean no Solo Albums only Group Releases...
And I don't mean these label created groups like "Triple C's" who drop an album and are never seen in the same room together again after the album release party...

There may be nice crews/labels...
But I dont think there will be another CNN, Outkast, or Clipse in this decade.

Triple C is not a label created group. Check your facts; Ross/Torch/Gunplay/Breed go way back.

Groups can move major units...
It can happen, it has happened in rap in the past and it's happening right now in pop (One Direction)

One thing I can say is that I can't picture 2 talented rappers sticking together as a team and enjoying all the splits... Show money divided by 2... Points on the album divided by 2...

The Houston Tx one hit wonder Mike Jones was once part of group with this cat Mag no, once Mike Jones catch phrases started buzzing and he started heating up Mike demanded more and more money to the point he basically kicked Magno off the shows...

So with the slice of the rap pie shrinking I can't imagine 2 guys sticking together from scratch to stardom...

Why the fukk are you trying to isolate this to only groups? Based on what you say you might as well state that because of the climate there will be no rappers ever in the future, which isn't true and absurd.

The fukk does the climate have to do with a rapper trying to come out and put out good stuff. It happened back when Rap was still growing and it'll happen now. Of course you could cite that back then the artform was still growing and whatnot, but there is nothing stopping another rapper or rap group from trying to come out and put out good stuff

Its more so that rap is so heavy on Ego's. You never see a Destiny's Child/Jackson 5 type groups in Hip-Hop where people worked together from Day 1. Everyone in hip-hop starts as a solo artist.

Where those nikkas at?
Where is Breed at?
Is he in Birdman's bushes?
Why are these "group members" no where to be seen in Ross's current videos?

Just looked at the track listing for Black Bar Mitzvah
Where is Torch at?
Where is Breed at?

Breed in the All Birds Ross latest video and Torch/Gunplay in damn near all videos; they dont gotta be in every video/album to meet any quota. They do whatever the hell they want to.

[ame=http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/video.php?v=wshh0AzxZ4NJqe3AJr72]Video: Rick Ross & French Montana - All Birds[/ame]

either way they all doing they solo thing now from what I see being put out, which goes back to my old point every rap group starts as solo artists.
