Best Group MC with No Solo Album
Make this a poll if you like but it occurred to me yesterday that several favorite MCs do not have solo albums but do have a fairly substantial body of work behind them.
I'm thinking specifically of MCs from groups:
Black Thought
Breeze Brewin
Posdnuos
I'm sure there are others too. Discuss.

Assume you're excluding Andre because of Speakerboxx/Love?

Re: Best Group MC with No Solo Album
What ever happened to black thoughts solo album? Wasn't there even a single that dropped but no album?
I'll add psycho les and Boots riley (I figure if black thought is eligible, he is too).

Psycho Les released a solo album.
Re: Best Group MC with No Solo Album
yes. what you're looking for is Wish Bone, as far as no solo albums go. Not sure about best MC. I still have a hard time telling them apart.EMCEE DARTH MALEK wrote:does layzie bone have a solo album?

Re: Best Group MC with No Solo Album
I'd add Killa Sin to those already mentioned.

Re: Best Group MC with No Solo Album
Feels like Inspectah Deck should be included in this but then you remember...
Treach is a good shout imo. With the right producers he could've done something great in the early 00s after NBN had faded. Always had a good balance between decent raps and actual songwriting.

Re: Best Group MC with No Solo Album
Hardware was the official single. I believe DJ Krush produced it. MCA was going to put it out the album too and then came the turmoil for a few years with the label vs group. Not long after they ended up on Def Jam.Blockhead wrote:What ever happened to black thoughts solo album? Wasn't there even a single that dropped but no album?

And it never leaked? I swear I remember a video of some sort. Did my brain just make that up?

Re: Best Group MC with No Solo Album
To my knowledge the album was never completed. The only thing they put out was Hardware. Pussy Galore was suppose to be on the solo but it was later packaged on the Phrenology album.Blockhead wrote:Philaflava wrote:Hardware was the official single. I believe DJ Krush produced it.

Re: Best Group MC with No Solo Album
Wasn't "Stay True" with Malik B also a leak off that Black Thought album?
Re: Best Group MC with No Solo Album
Starang... andre 3000 or does love below count?
Re: Best Group MC with No Solo Album
Meant to include Andre but forgot.
Killa Sin is a solid mention also.
Breeze Brewin over all them. Juggaknots catalog + Prince Among Thieves > Roots catalog. Andre is close but take away Big Boi and who knows?

Re: Best Group MC with No Solo Album
This is obviously all opinion. But I stand by it. Thought and Andre are amazing MCs but I'd rather hear new or old Breeze 100% of the time.

Re: Best Group MC with No Solo Album
I would rather listen to an actual breeze than a solo album from either Black Thought or Andre.

Re: Best Group MC with No Solo Album
Revised list:
Black Thought
Andre 3K
Boots Riley
Ishmael Butler
Breeze Brewin
Posdnuos
Trugoy
Treach
Killa Sin
Cougnut
Starang Wonduh
Offset
I actually considered putting one of the Migos kids in there, but I didn't know any of their names so I didn't but there you go. Added Trugoy because why not. Not at all familiar with Cougnut but if you say so.
Tough to add Boots Riley and not add Ish. Inclusion of the first 4-5 names on this list is debatable because you can make the argument that they all have solo albums in that they're the primary vocalist on at least one album each.

Re: Best Group MC with No Solo Album
A Treach solo album,if done properly, would've been considerably more entertaining than an hour of Black Thought rapping for what seems like 9 hours without saying anything memorable.

Re: Best Group MC with No Solo Album
Block I think you may be thinking of the video that dice raw had for a song that had black thought and malik b for dice raw's solo album. that dropped around the same time as hardware. there was also rumors of "dangerous thoughts" where dangermouse was going to produce an ep or full album for thought but that also never came to fruition.Blockhead wrote:Philaflava wrote:Hardware was the official single.

IDK about all that, but worth adding to the list/poll if it ever materializes as such.step one wrote:A Treach solo album,if done properly, would've been considerably more entertaining than an hour of Black Thought rapping for what seems like 9 hours without saying anything memorable.
