Can we be real about something?
Lost Boyz should've never been a group.
Cheeks is the rapper. Okay...
Freaky Tah was...the hype man. Okay...was that enough for him to be "in group" status?
He did more than the other two, doe.
I hear Spigg Nice was supposed to be the DJ. I've never seen him do that.
Pretty Lou? He doesn't do anything either.
The other 3 were pretty much around to square dance with Cheeks in the videos.

but on the real tho...rap is competitive...whats the chances a crew of nikkas that grew up together will all have equal talent?

Had hope for Pac Div... 
...but then, consider splitting money, paying producers, all that studio time when taking scheduling into consideration (try getting 3-5 people together at once to record)...it's just more cost-effective to go solo or have a solo collective that does group songs while putting on their own sets at a show.
That way...instead of paying for a group set and a bunch of other opening acts, you can have TDE (LIVE) ft. Ab-Soul, Kendrick Lamar, Jay Rock, and Schoolboy Q, you know?

music is a team sport.
this is another reason why the quality is down. everybody isn't meant to be solo.
and its not always a case of everybody wanting to be the star. the labels don't really mess with groups anymore. I remember trey songz saying that he was forced to go solo from his group because the labels were flat-out not signing r&b groups anymore.
and thus, we have trey songz basically being considered the king of r&b right now, but he wouldn't have even been lead singer material in better eras.
freaky tah was EXTREMELY important. he enhanced mr cheeks' verses like a champ.
also, one thing about groups: the dude that's the weakest or "doesn't do anything" is actually a vital member behind-the-scenes on the low. one of the other members of the lost boyz went on to be a big dude in the industry. so he more than likely had a lot of input on their music.
