Between Artifacts and EPMD...

Artifacts. They had better chemistry than anyone else listed. It's too bad they hate each other now.

I went with Q-Tip and Phife because of how well they work together. I feel a lot of the other duo's can come dope individually whereas with Q-Tip without Phife and vice versa it feels like somethings missing.

outkast

<----- First vote for Red & Meth.. :mrgreen:

As usual.. but, dispite only having one album out together, i've probably listened to it as much as I did Outkast's first three albums..

EPMD the rap american dream team, always have been always will be, why? the chemistry between E & P, the classic records, the incredible longevity and the sheer fact that they are responsible for duos like Outkast (think about it) Smif N Wesson and a million others.

The Iron Sheik · Post by **The Iron Sheik** » Sun Jan 09, 2005 10:43 pm

Rae and Ghost. The chemistry is undeniable.

If you decided to allow Phife and Q-Tip as a selection, surely you could've put up Posdnous and Trugoy by these same standards?

Both accounts co-sizzled.

yes but all of these came after EPMD...so EPMD influenced all of them.

Rae and Ghost. Get them on a track together and magic happens.

Just because something comes first doesn't mean it is better.

Diggedy · Post by **Diggedy** » Sun Jan 09, 2005 11:38 pm

Twas a tough one...

All nasty duos with permanent places in my collection..

Had to go with Run DMC.

Whatever the criteria for best duo, they've got it on lock.

(I will put down an honorable mention for Smif n' Wessun. Tremendous chemistry).

great thread and all the selections are good.

i loved epmd and nobody can touch their earlier stuff. this is a tough one, cuz tip & phife had great chemistry on LET and MM, and you can't front on Run-DMC.

i went with epmd. as much as ghost and rae are explosive together, they ain't really a group, so i had to vote based on who was the best duo in a group.

Combo7 · Post by **Combo7** » Mon Jan 10, 2005 12:49 am

Shit, I knew there'd be at least one major player I'd forget. Peace to De La. Camp Lo deserves a mention as well.

My Jersey heads need to step up and vote for Tame & El.

And yeah, I should have known better than to include Rae & Ghost.

mud · Post by **mud** » Mon Jan 10, 2005 4:40 am

i voted mobb deep,but i should have voted for rae and ghost

SYM · Post by **SYM** » Mon Jan 10, 2005 4:47 am

epmd is in town...

Combo7 · Post by **Combo7** » Mon Jan 10, 2005 8:51 am

I swear I could have put U-God & Ghostface Killah and the outcome would have been the same.

Or Vanilla Ice & Ghostface. Or Ghostface & Rhombus The Unpredictable. You people disgust me.

devoglam · Post by **devoglam** » Mon Jan 10, 2005 10:10 am

i went with outkast. too dope. i could have easily voted for q tip and phife or run dmc if this poll was on a different day.

MistaTurk · Post by **MistaTurk** » Mon Jan 10, 2005 11:37 am

whoa! that was tough one, but i went with mobb deep cuz i'm bumpin the infamous album right now.

Damn, cats are sleeping on OK.

No one gives Prince Po his due credit for that group, and PM is undeniably :shock: :shock: :shock: most of the time.

Pharaohe can still drop sick verses with ease, but not a decent album or full-length song (the Jadakiss syndrome), and Po is now garbage, proving the sum was greater than it's parts...

eastvandemolition · Post by **eastvandemolition** » Mon Jan 10, 2005 2:39 pm

Pharoahe and Prince Po just because they are underated especially these days.

2 classic albums and they mesh perfectly.

I wish they'd get back together
