    Nobody has 3 ? classics

    ? going be weirdos forever

    I beg to differ, Southernplayalistic, ATLiens & Aquemini. How is that weird or absurd?

    Those may be personal classics for you

    No place for that here

    There is not one artist/group with 3 classics

    Classics are amazing, classics change the game, classics impact seemingly the Whole culture

    Just cause somebody drop a good album doesn't make it a hip hop classic imo

    That waters down the label

    U didn't explain how callin those 3 albums classic is absurd.
    Yes I did

    GRODT is classic. Everyone remembers that wave. Outkast nor anyone else has experienced that 3 times

    Atliens was putkast best album. Mobn Deep l's music is dope to me cuz it has that east coast feel. When you bumping Mobb Deep G.O.D part 3 in those cold New York nights its real. Although i like Smif n Wessun then Mobb Deep.

    Yeah they tight, 8 Ball the better of the 2

    What threw me off was the 1st time i heard MJG rhyme was on a solo song he had i think it was called "That Girl" (BET use to to play the hell outta that video). I didnt like it and i just wrote them off because i thought that was their style, and that they were just another Southern group trying to hard to be PoP.
    ....but that MC Ren song immediately changed my opinion about them

    They're a great group but in my opinion. Outkast, 8ball and MJG an UGK>>>>>>>>>
    hav and ? on that ? . besides the names quoted you got M.O.P. , D.P.G., I think you got too many folk outta that era to make that claim. Thats a bold one. Not even Face willing to say Geto Boys the best group ever

    ? C could sing, produce and Rap his ass off. To say he's over rated....wow

    ? C was an average at best rapper. Bun B was lyrically nicer.

    Yes Bun was the Lyricist and ? was the rapper I.e. he rapped his ass off

    Please don't hit me with the lyricist/artist comparison because that is a weak ass cop out.

    *shrugs* Bun was the artist the MC. ? was the dude with mad quotes and sometimes he'd say something that made you rewind it. That's what made them a great duo

    A lot of yall ? wasnt nuetral at all, Glad I grew up in the midwest in the 90s. I listened to and appreciated everything equally. Music was music no matter what coast or how popular.

    If you dont think P and Hav didnt go nuts on the first three albums..... you aint pay attention at all.

    Mobb Deep is definitely up there, but they are not the #1 duo in their own city, in my opinion. Plus they are 1 dimensional. Quiet Storm is the only major hit I can think of really.

    Shook Ones?

    ball and g. ugk. daz and kurupt ? . mobb deep was cool but they had a mouth full of words that took too long to get to a single point from a rap lyrical perspective to me. that melodic flow was cool and they did drop some jewels but not top to me.

    I doubt ? gonna consider Pete Rock & CL Smooth a true duo, but tne Mecca & The Soul Brother album ? on most groups entire catalog.
