Bobby Baccala · 18-09-2011 1:03pm #1

as the title says whats your favourite old school rap group?
mine would have to be A tribe called quest, the fugees, and most of all wu tang

Post your favourite songs by your groups aswell if you want.
thanks

EDIT: my favourite tribe song is definitely electric relaxation.

Emmo-m- · 18-09-2011 2:24pm

Black Moon , Mobb Deep , Gangstarr , Pete Rock & CL Smooth.

Too many songs to name but ill go with

"How many Mc's" ,
"Start of your ending",
"Coming for Datazz" ,
and obviously "T.R.O.Y" .

CiaranMT · 18-09-2011 2:29pm

A Tribe Called Quest. So many, many classics.

Nolanger · 18-09-2011 6:21pm

Main source. Also a duo called Subsonic two - very strange group.

Da Shins Kelly · 18-09-2011 7:58pm

Wu-Tang Clan are probably my favourite group ever, hip hop or not, 90s or not:

I like Brand Nubian:

The Fugees:

A Tribe Called Quest are savage too. So many great tunes from them. Hard to choose just one, but I've been listening to this one a lot recently:

Rottin Raskals
B.U.M.s
Das Efx
EPMD
Da Youngstas
Kris Kross
The Pharcyde
South Central Cartel
CMW
The Alkaholiks
KMD
Main Source
The Twinz
Illegal
Da Bush Babies
.......I'm going to stop here as this could go on for a while

Bobby Baccala · 19-09-2011 3:02pm

dont know how but i forgot to mention outkast
i love their southernplayalisticadillacmuzic album by far their best.
the best song off that album has to be players ball
