  • MR. UNDI$PUTED THE MOGUL

    There have been so many dope ass posse cut’s but how could you forget songs like 4,3,2,1 off of LL Cool J’s cd or even further back “The Grand Finale” off of DOC’s 1st album or “The Last Song” off of Above the Law’s, “livin’ like a hustler” albums. Even though they were known as “Gangsta” rapper’s, Ice Cube, MC Ren, DOC, & the rest of the Ruthless Mafia Clan etc. were all spittin’ like a Tech-9 on those 2 songs. Review your history, check those songs out & see for yourself.

    PEACE & GET MONEY!!!
    MOGUL $$$ GAME ’11!!!

    D12′s Devils Night and D12 world had way better crew songs than fight music.
    G-Units song G’d up is by far their best Dre produced song.

    I agree with the yet another top list comment. come on son. let hip hop write itself. i mean write about whats goin on now. kick some truth. its no voice in hip hop journalism.

    As for the list, its way too many songs that got left off and too many ones added just for pub.

  • sp tha ghost

    the list was goin well till i seen YOUNG MONEY BEDROCK?!?!?! all credibillity just got fucked, shanked and left pissing blood on the floor of the prison showers

  • cliff

    Anybody ever heard Live at the Barbeque? Main Source? How did that not make the list (unless I missed it)?

  • alister13

    what about Welcome 2 Houston!!!

  • comment

    Blogs on the best crew/group effort is a part of hip-hop. Beef, arguments , debates or w/e are indicators that the rap genre still breathes. Rap fans parallel sport fans in that we want a definite best and worst labeled on somebody at all times. This list is alright – if you don’t like it close your eyes.

    Be Nice if it didn’t take 20min to get to next page though … but maybe its my connection.

These type of song were made for you trying to write one of most retarded rhymes, too be the stand out on the track out all the emcees on it. Not make a muthafucka dance or none of that shit just pure Spit nigga, not a club banger, but some shit you wouldnt give a fuck, longs as your was like ooooooh shit.
