Gang Starr has 4 classics and NWA has one. Yeah they are more influential but that ain't enough.

gang starr has 4 classics to homos, they dont even have any consensus classics.

I'm pretty sure Step In The Arena and Daily Operation are consensus classics.

I side with Feru on this... it's close... but Gangstarr has classics too and influence.

nobody was influenced by gang starr, and premo did his best work elsewhere. nwa changed rap and have actual consensus rap and music classics.

Classics implies plural, which would be incorrect

Yep, as is Moment Of Truth.

NWA was more influential, but Gang Starr has a better overall discog. The only NWA album I bump is SOC, Whereas I bump ALL of Gang Starr's albums.

The only GREAT NWA album is Straight Outta Compton. Gangstarr has 3 classic albums, and two near classic albums.

And the most influential group of all time is RUN-DMC.

Q-Tip vs. Sadat X-overall I'm giving it to Q-Tip..lyrically though Sadat wins

Black Thought. I dig GOG, but it's the fucking Roots.

n/a Q-Tip vs. Sadat X

The Geto Boys vs. Ultramagnetic MC's
Geto Boys

Willie D vs. Kool Keith
Willie D (Keith is really weird to me except on Ultramagnetic MCs)

Gangstarr vs. N.W.A.
NWA by a hair (I bump my NWA more often but that's a tough choice)

One Be Lo vs. Common
Common (I like OBL but C got the discog on him & I listen to C way more)

Kurupt vs. Redman
Redman

De La Soul vs. The Pharcyde
Pharcyde, I just don't get into De La like that although I've tried

Tupac vs. Cee-Lo
Shakur (I like Cee-Lo but no contest)

LL Cool J vs. Phonte
LL

Paris vs. Brother J
Paris (I haven't really listened to Brother J)

Eminem vs. Crooked I
Eminem (stronger body of work)

Raekwon vs. Jay-Z
Jigga (I haven't heard OBCL2 but even if that's top notch Jigga would still win off discog)

Styles P vs. Jadakiss
Jada (my fav of the Lox with P in second)

Andre 3000 vs. Chuck D
Andre, I honestly listen to him more

Black Thought vs. Gift Of Gab
Gift of Gab, I've only heard Things Fall Apart & Phrenology from the roots but Nia, Blazing Arrows & The Craft from Blackalicious

Q-Tip vs. Sadat X
Q-Tip by default (I have no Brand Nubian, the two LPs I had died b4 I could bump em)

u really picked Gift of Gab over Black Thought????

you need to step your Roots game up

Things Fall Apart >>>>>> Anything from Blackalicious

You need to hear Illadelph Halflife, Do You Want More, and Game Theory.

The first two are classics, and the other is a near classic.

Also, I can't see how ANYONE can pick Willie over Kool Keith. Willie sounds good with the Geto Boys, but he SUCKS as a solo artist. Keith is a FAR better lyricist.

Damn you act like Gift is rotten hot garbage, the man can spit.

But trust me Roots is on my list of things to get.

As far as Willie D over Keith. I bump my GB regularly but Keith is weird for the sake of being weird. One of my best homies is surprised I didn't get into him. I mean I tried but not my flavor but I do enjoy Ultramagnetic MCs.

GOG is aight, but he's not on Black Thought's level.

The Geto Boys vs. Ultramagnetic MC's-Geto Boys, Easily

Willie D vs. Kool Keith-Kool Keith, Easily

Gangstarr vs. N.W.A.-NWA, not even close

One Be Lo vs. Common-who fucking cares?

Kurupt vs. Redman-Damn...Redman because he's been more consistent, but at their peaks I'd have to give it to Kurupt Young Gotti

De La Soul vs. The Pharcyde-Damn...Neither?

Tupac vs. Cee-Lo-Pac, easily

LL Cool J vs. Phonte-are you fucking joking?

Paris vs. Brother J-Paris

Eminem vs. Crooked I-Eminem...please

Raekwon vs. Jay-Z-Jay-Z in a blowout

Styles P vs. Jadakiss-Jada

Andre 3000 vs. Chuck D-Lyrically 3 Stacks, career-wise, Chuck D, overall I can't call it

Black Thought vs. Gift Of Gab-Black Thought, homie and I ain't even a Roots fan like that

Q-Tip vs. Sadat X-Tip but only because of the beats

Pounds...seriously?

The Geto Boys vs. Ultramagnetic MC's- n/a I never listen to an Ultramagnetic MC's album. I doubt I'll dig them more than Geto Boys though.

Willie D vs. Kool Keith- Willie D, Kool Keith is a little too weird for me.

Gangstarr vs. N.W.A.- N.W.A. easily.

One Be Lo vs. Common- damn this is tough. I gotta go with One Be Lo because I listen to him more now a days.

Kurupt vs. Redman- Redman

De La Soul vs. The Pharcyde- yikes, another hard one. I bump Pharcyde more though, so I'll go with them.

Tupac vs. Cee-Lo- lolololol easiest one on here. Pac.

LL Cool J vs. Phonte- Phonte

Paris vs. Brother J- n/a

Eminem vs. Crooked I- Eminem, he's the only answer on here, just like Pac vs Cee-Lo.

Raekwon vs. Jay-Z- Hova wins easily.

Styles P vs. Jadakiss- Jadakiss in a close match up

Andre 3000 vs. Chuck D- Andre 3K

Black Thought vs. Gift Of Gab- For me personally, I dig Gift of Gab just a little bit more. Sue me.

Q-Tip vs. Sadat X- Q-Tip in a blowout.

LMAO!! young N3RO...love ya man () your funny man and some of these picks show me that..which ones??

lyrically 3 stacks but career wise Chuck D?? HUH??? that IMO makes absolutely NO sense whatsoever man...PE and Outkast career wise are about even...stop bullshitting and CHOOSE my dude, no need to be safe..

At Kurupt's peak and Redman's peak you believe Kurupt is that much better than Redman?? really?? I suggest you re-visit some of Redman's material dawg..

And no I'm not joking about Cool J vs. Phonte...CHOOSE one baby bubba..lol

NWA is that much better than Gangstarr??? really???

you have no pick between De La Soul and The Pharcyde?? they both suck that much huh??

And your about the only one who didn't care with Common vs. One Be Lo..lol..both of those are legit artists man...you don't like either one of them??

come on N3RO..let's get 'em straight man

C.Tran please ASAP go pick up Critical Beatdown by Ultramagnetic MC's man...look for it on E-Bay..Amazon..somewhere but go pick that one up with the quickness..you may want to pick up The Four Horsemen and Funk Your Head Up too but not until you go get Critical Beatdown first...then holla at me when your done
