SEMI FINALS - Old School Hip Hop Groups: A TRIBE CALLED QUEST vs. BEASTIE BOYS

[Uptown Swinger]

If wu tang was in the bracket why wasn't boot camp click? Adding black moon to bcc means heltah skeltah, ogc, smif n wessun, the fab five...makes sense to me

There weren't too many early 90's groups.
After Wu wins this TS should make another tournament for 90s groups only.
Black Moon
MOBB Deep
MOP
CNN
LOX
Heltah Skeltah
etc

also
Wu Tang came out as a group first (dont give me that prince rakeem shit)
then their individual joints dropped
Black Moon came out as BM first
then other BCC groups dropped.

Adding BCC is like adding Rough Riders to the list.

This does not make sense because
The Fab 5 = Heltah Skeltah and OGC


The Representatitivz - Angels of Death was a great album too btw

no love for gangstarr??

 

[Uptown Swinger]

no love for gangstarr??

of course
I didn't attempt to list everybody I like. I was just throwing some names out.
thats why I put "ETC".

But TS didnt consider Gangstarr a group
They are more of a rapper/dj combo/duo.

Thats probably why Eric B & Rakim were not in this tournament.

I know there are exceptions
Five Ft from Black Moon
Flav from PE
Vinny from Naughy
Are not the main MCs

So its up to whoever makes the rules for their tournament - I guess

Rza AND gza released albums before enter the 36 chambers dropped...and I know the fab five was heltah skeltah and ogc...I'm just saying groups within groups...bcc shouldve been on the list...as well as gangstarr...its blasphemous not to add them.

Do you really think BCC should be added as a super group
instead of as individual groups?

In a tourney of 90s groups
I would rather see Heltah Skeltah vs Black Moon or OGC vs Smiff n Wessun
Not all of them a whole competing against individual acts.

You are complaining that Gaqngstarr wasnt on the list
but have no problem that Eric B &Rakim were left off?

The list might as well had
Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince
LL Cool J and Cut Creator
Kool G Rap and DJ Polo
The Rough Ryders (DMX, Eve, the LOX, etc)
The Firm (Nas, AZ, Foxxy, Nature)

edit:

My badd you mean groups within BCC should have been on the list.
My aopologies

Hopefully we get a tourney for 90s groups.

gang starr is noted as a group...where as eric b and rakim while a "group" isn't labled as such. Same with other dj mc combos. And bcc was a supergroup I feel...I thought they were more grimy than wu tang and being from the east coast bcc seemed more legit.

So Gangsarr is a group because they are noted as a group
But while Eric B& Rakim are a "group" it's ok that they're not on the list because they are not labeled as a group?
According to who?
Who is doing the noting and the labeling?

A mountain climber - who plays an electric guitar?

And bcc was a supergroup I feel...I thought they were more grimy than wu tang and being from the east coast bcc seemed more legit.

I don't think BCC gets enough credit either.

 

[Diablo Ryu**]

Protect ya neck reference...

Now I wish gravediggaz was on the bracket....seems like we know more than the TS

I love Gravediggaz, 1-800 Suicide lol. Actually slipped my mind when making the brackets.

I didn't include Gangstarr, Smif-N-Wessun, Heltah Skeltah because they're duos, not groups although apart of Boot Camp Clik. I added in Black Moon that was apart of that supergroup, because Black Moon had more than 2 members.

 

[chickenluver]

lol, i just figured out that is what atcq is.

The fact that either of these are still in is a fucking disgrace.

Looks like the wu is going to come through at a theater near you and splooge on your face like goo!

gtfo

 

[chickenluver]

yes, it is a fucking disgrace that nwa and cypress hill are not still in it.

i remember when fight for your right first came out on mtv and i watched it before going to the school bus in 6th grade. i woke up late for school and i don't want to go.

i listened to the low end theory hundreds of times but that shit cannot stand up to any NWA cd or most beastie cds

i agree cypress > beasties but NWA doesn't hold a fucking candle to Tribe

 

[Long Dark Blues]

Ah man, I totally missed this round.

This would've been real tough for me, but ultimately I would've voted for the Beasties.
