thovlasslayer i was second guessing myself, thinking that they might have had more than 3, but im not crazy😭

[@RealWonderSwan]

Maseo was the DJ/Producer, and he only went for three emcees. So close tho. ;(

[@1978Hiphop]

they only have 2 rappers

[@KarlChamoun]

i was waiting all the video for him to mention them. i was mad surprised

[@mercurialman6255]

I'm gonna say duos are the magic number, 2 Outkast Mobb Deep Pete Rock & CL Smooth Eric B and Rakim Black Star Run the Jewels EPMD UGK Gang Starr Redman and Meth Ghost and Rae (technically never officially became a duo, but served as a duo on both of their debut albums) Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff (if the Fatboys are on the list, you gotta show these two love) Kid N Play (if the Fatboys are on the list, you gotta show these two love and they had more staying power) Clipse 8Ball & MJG Duos almost always out shinned trios throughout hip hop and usually had just as much if not more of an impact on hip hop than trios. And I don't know if they had a great impact on hip hop, but out of love I have to add Smif n Wessun Camp Lo

[@andreas0101]

He didn't push shit, No Vaseline was necessary. Ice Cube didnt want beef

[@EmbassyNerdcore]

They relied on Cube to write too much, without him they all stepped up their writing game. Without other guys to worry about, Cube kept all his best lines for himself

[@nemo2327]

Man I respect you so much for your knowledge and respect to the culture and art form of hip-hop. The insight of your videos and distinct love for discussion broadening people's perspectives is always appreciated! I've learned so much from the content and found great music that I've been missing. You guys deserve so much more for the time and production that goes into these vids. Also, glad you brought up that in today's culture both trios are respected but are on opposite sides of the spectrum. FBZ and Migos are great examples that show how diverse hip-hop has evolved today! Thank you for all that you do🙏🏽

[@kenshigo3833]

agree, Murs is the best hip hop journalist out there!

[@nsc_ronan]

his music is good shit too

[@QuestionsAnswerz]

Kenshigo nah Justin Hunte is. He created The Breakdown, all credit goes to him

[@kenshigo3833]

creating the Breakdown doesn´t mean he does the journalism to Murs´ vids though, Murs does a fantastic job with DX, imo even better than Hunte did, but they are still, both very great!

[@user-bu3dw9ho4z]

Kenshigo it does mean he created the opportunity to be lucrative in taking the position tho. I am happy Murs is the host. But Justin did build HipHopDX. He says it in his own personal article

[@maximefilion8793]

J Dilla is so underappreciated by the general public

[@TheAdamSmasherMultiverse]

Maxime Filion facts

[@frock-a-fellainc.2567]

Probably because the general public don’t appreciate the work that producers have on the culture. Most people don’t know who J Dilla even is.

[@TheSunshineGroup]

From my research, Dilla was ALWAYS underappreciated. Even in Detroit, where he was raised, nobody gave a shit when he died (but they threw memorial parties in NYC and LA). Yeah man, most people don't give a fuck about producers except for other producers, but I think that general vibe is changing nowadays. I hear Dilla influence everywhere, and I know that all modern producers like me have a special place in their heart for Dilla (he changed my fucking life when I was handed Donuts). loFi hip hop is basically a Dilla Descendant music in my opinion. Dilla will earn his fame in due time. It is far too late, but I have noticed his attention significantly growing these past few years especially.

[@johnoliverlobo5613]

From my research, the type of people who insistently put Dilla and Doom high up on a pedestal are mostly white people who only listen to their albums and claim that they're true hip hop.

[@TheSunshineGroup]

man, every producer droppin' beats nowadays owes much of their inspiration from Dilla. They all say it. Why do you seem so bitter about it? Yeah, I'm a white dude and yeah, I put Dilla on a pedestal, but that's because before I found him and his influenees, hip hop was...meh to me. I'm not a lyrical person, I like beats and loops, and Dilla mastered that shit. He made electronic music, dude, not just hip hop! He's from Detroit, the birthplace of techno and acid. He makes dope shit that reaches all people, including getting the attention of white people like me. If it wasn't for Dilla, I probably would still be strumming a guitar.

[@aaronsecofsky4869]

For real. That Beastie breakdown must happen asap

[@TommyBoi_3000]

Outkast, Run DMC, Wu Tang, Salt n Pepa, UGK, NWA w/cube, 8Ball & MJG, Three 6 Mafia, State Property, Mobb Deep, Hot Boyz, Big Tymers, St Lunatics, D12, Naughty by Nature, etc etc....I'd probably say the duos and 4+ groups are greater

[@TubemastaC]

Duos can be argued to be better. But 4+ groups get really muddied and there's ALWAYS a star of the group or top two people that is being held down by the rest. Songs just arent long enough to get everyone on the track really and people lose interest at times.

[@BLKYMusic]

One of the first groups ever and one of the most influential ever grand master flash and the furious 5 a group which has a dj and more than 3 mcs

[@whatevernevermind9543]

Joshua Epps ikr, nobody ever brings them up

[@andreas0101]

Among rap fans maybe. Talk to your average 45 year old metal head he'll mention them, cypress hill, NWA and tribe.

[@whatevernevermind9543]

That boy ain't right The only NWA album I have listened to is straight outta Compton, and while they are a VERY influential rap group, some of their music is subpar. I mean, the last song on their album SOC, is a terrible dance song, lol. But of course, this is my opinion, and yours is just as valid as mine.

[@joshuaepps8290]

Aye My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasty. Listen to Efil4zaggin, Not tryna to dickride Murs but it really is better than Straight Outta Compton, and the production is beautiful from Dre and Ren lyrics just prove that's he's truly underrated af. My personal favorite tracks are: Real Niggaz, Appetite for destruction, Alwayz into something, i'd rather, and the don't wine interlude, but only for the Parliament sample. hope you listen to it.

[@joshuaepps8290]

Probably not in the discussion, but you mentioned that straight outta Compton was the only album from NWA you listened to, I highly recommend their second album.

[@danrazzaia3152]

[@madmaniac2552]

They even have the song 3 is the magic number

[@greedokenobi3855]

Charles Schultz I don’t think Mase ever rapped on their songs tho (might have missed it if he did) so then it’s just 2 rappers and a dj. He didn’t include them for the same reason he didn’t include Run DMC, he focussed on groups with three mc’s in this vid.

[@plainpawesome]

Thank you for bringing more history and breakdown. Filling in gaps and cracks. I'm sure there's a reason you left out BBD, 2 Live Crew, Naughty by Nature, and NERD. I don't know if you consider some of them 2 member acts with a producer /DJ, but BBD was an iconic trio that kept HH/RnB hot on the airwaves through the 90s. Before Kanye claiming the fashion icon status, BBD. To add to the list of fly influential XL acts to follow the Fat Boys, there was Heavy D, Chubb Rock, and Missy Elliott (not a diss to Missy). Can't wait to get my history right with Murs narrative. Perspective so balanced, respect for your talent, they say power corrupts, but Murs lookin valiant, spiritually sahlient, or should I say salient, silence sounds so deadly, write wrong rhymes without a melody, this could be considered comment comedy, like MC battles on 106 & Park be, you didn't expect to read bulls hit rhymes so sincerely sorry.

[@MursTv]

plainpawesome BBD wow!!! Good point.

[@MrSayWhatIThink23]

I respect your opinion Murs but I disagree with your Beastie Boys take. Race has nothing to do with it, just couldn't get down with their music. Wu-Tang without question is the best group of all time, followed by Mobb Deep and then Outkast.

[@kmc1994]

JamelB well stated. I agree with the beastie boys thing. That's bullshit

[@ultrarareholo]

A Tribe Called Quest or The Roots have to take that #1 spot for me

[@kmc1994]

k d yea so they do it when three white boys come through...woop de damn doo. Me personally idc...hip hop/rap is black culture and so black artists get props first period (before white "artists") for being first hand members of the community and giving back to the culture with their talent and art...beastie boys music isnt even better than tribe's or wu tangs....smh

[@henrymunoz9219]

Public Enemy is the best Hip-Hop group of all time, followed by Wu-Tang Clan.... Starting with the third position, all bets are off... There's too much to debate! Personally, I'd go with Run DMC, Eric B & Rakim, Boogie Down Productions, NWA because they all changed the game! Then groups like EPMD, Mobb Deep, A Tribe Called Quest, OutKast, Digable Planets, Fugees, Gang Star, Digital Underground, Whodini, Salt N Pepa and De La Soul have to be considered as well... This whole Greatest Group conversation can go on forever with a consensus just as elusive as the great GOAT debate!

[@MrSayWhatIThink23]

RapVillainy I respectfully disagree. Tribe and The Roots are both legendary groups though

[@brettclouse5905]

Murs good discussion you brought back memories. I like all the 3 mc's you talked about of the 70's, 80's & the 90's & I spun all of them from house parties to clubs. I still have some of your 12" singles. I liked your verses in the 2017 single of Tech N9NE - Is you the police. Are you going to put a lp. in 2018 ? I like your Deep discussions haven't seen all them all but a good chunk. I like what you've been putting out.

[@kylefraser8577]

Murs forgot to mention De La when Maseo was still rhyming... you know the 3 feet high and rising

I didn’t know he used to rap, or forgot. I had De La in my mind as two mc’s and a dj.

[@jonathanjones7681]

Thank you for these great thought provoking breakdowns. It's sucks when the narrative about hip hop culture always seems to trend to the negative but it's awesome that you go deep into what's great, bad, ugly, beautiful and inspiring about the culture. I wish you peace and many blessings for 2018.

Rob Carter pardon us. But thanks for watching!

[@SneakXL]

Great video.. to further expound - the trio of sounds in a band is drums, bass, and guitar. It isn't hard to recognize that the Beastie Boys reflect the instruments they play also as vocalists in the sound of their band. High pitched Adrock - guitar, rhythmic Mike D - Drums, and gravelly voiced MCA - bass. I always thought that the Geto Boys had a very similar chemistry in their sound. Scarface, although he is a guitar player, represents the rhythmic center- drums. Willie D - passionate high register vocals - guitar and Bushwick Bill with his deep voice is the bass.

[@jameelamman]

Yoooooo! How do you leave out Little Brother? The Listening and The Minstrel Show are classics in their own right and are right up there with Cunninlynguists as far as the indie rap scene in the Internet age. Plus, you did a couple albums with 9th, they could at least get a honorable mention

[@Jean1us85]

Because 9th wonder doesn’t rap and Murs said he was only focusing on trios where all three members were mcs

[@Getbreadred]

tell that to hieroglyphics and living legends who murs is apart of and both groups are still touring with all members

[@JaimeMorales-pu4sn]

Digga Jones yeah, but they still have cypher kinda of tracks. it is your opinion if you disfavor groups to lesser than 3 members, and i can understand that it can be hard to follow, but i enjoy groups or when smaller groups or trios collab on tracks. May i recommend a$ap mob what happens, souls of mischief medication, and pro era school high, just a few i could name off the top of my head that sound good with multiple heads on a track

Not saying that one is greater than or more important to hip hop than the other. But this was a dope and interesting video and I think the Duos of hip hop definitely deserve a video as well. Especially considering how mainstream and influential alot of the duo acts of rap were. The list of rappers known for working together in pairs goes on; Outkast, UGK, Run-DMC, Mobb Depp, Wayne & Birdman, Dre & Em, Tha Dogg Pound, Black Star, Kris Kross, Method Man & Redman off the top of my head to name a few.

[@higglyjuff]

So we gonna act like Leaders Of The New School wasn't a trio

[@harrymsimuko1518]

Rey Cruz 305 Dinco D, Busta, Charlie and Milo... That's 4

[@MursTv]

Rey Cruz 305 yes sir you are correct for one album they were. And for one album they weren’t. Then they disbanded. And neither was as impactful as Busta solo. They could’ve had an honorable mention. Yes. But time...

[@harrymsimuko1518]

Rey Cruz 305 I stand corrected. I still don't see why De La wasn't mentioned.

[@RyeTruth]

MursTv yeah bruh I know that cramming content into a certain amount of time could be a issue when doing episodes. Thanks for the respond ✊🏽

Harry Msimuko yo your right! Maseo aka Plug Three raps on some of their songs

[@AuraLink]

This video was hella insightful, keep up the dope work 👌

[@kman23davis]

Great breakdown. J Dilla was definitely an underrated rapper. Most people just talk about his beats but he had some fire ass rhymes as well.

I would love to see HipHopDX put a top 10 must have albums of all time or a serie or top 10 album's must have.

[@cashbbrown6067]

What about TRU? Master P, Silkk da Shocker & C-Murder, they first album “TRUE” felt more a compilation but their 2nd to 4th albums were just mainly the 3 brothers and their 2nd album “Tru 2 Da Game” is one of southern hip hops greatest gems. Ijs tho

[@MursTv]

Cash Bbrown wow! You’re right!

[@mikeyloera3087]

While you might not agree with Murs opinions on who’s better than the other, you can not doubt or give this man shit on his knowledge of hip-hop. A genuine host that is devoted to the craft that we all know and love, makes for one hell of a show. And for that, we solute you Murs!

[@ChrisCokeRobinson]
