Build Your Own Hip-Hop Supergroup

Posted on by Robbie


Gotta get the Cream…

So there’s a bit of talk about Slaughterhouse, right? Joell and Royce are sick, Buddens has his moments and…err…Crooked I? As I was saying, who would you throw into a smoke-filled studio with a bag of Chinese take-out and a case of Becks? Four MC’s, one wildcard for guest shots. Go in.

Unkut Dot Com’s Roster:

The Headcrack Assassination Squad

Roc Marciano

Strong Island delivered us yet another unique wordsmith. A perfect combination of abstract wordplay and street science.

Killa Sha

Sha Lumi brings together twenty years worth of Bridge influence into an action-packed sixteen every time, with the best ad-libs around.

Sean Price

Sean P is that dude. I actually through both the recent Bootcamp albums just to hear his verses. Tends to burn everyone else on the same track.

Blaq Poet

Every time Poet hits the booth, he wins. Nothing fancy, just bare-bones gutter shit with a a ton of heart from one of the most reliable troopers in the game.

Wildcard: Doo-Wop

Wop is a great rapper because he isn’t actually a rapper, doesn’t try too hard, he has a great flow and he keeps it simple, dummy. Plus it’s mostly the voice.

Sid Romes Roams on the beat.

Gotty™ from TSS roster:

Nas – Why not?

The Beatnuts (circa late 90’s) – for the production & the fact that they like to fuck, drink beer & smoke some shit.

Ghostface Killah – No particular reason except that Ghost should always be included just to shake up the chemistry of any lineup of stellar emcees.

Ludacris – Because the only rapper who has unquestionably stolen more songs is Busta. While I’m not a huge fan of either, I’d rather have measured doses of Luda spitting precise rhymes over a throaty Busta “raow raow”-ing in the absence of coherent thought.

Bonus shot – Alfamega – w/a room full of inebriated rowdy rappers, somebody’s gotta keep’em in line. Maybe he can do a chorus or two. No verses please, Mega, thanks.

  1. The Funky Four Rap Sangaz
    Devin – high on weed
    Kokane – high on pills
    D-Loc – drunk
    B.O.B. – rookie

    feature by
    Hi-C – the original funky rap sanga

    and by the way, Crooked I is dope!

  2. i’d have Lord Finesse, Akinyele, Kool G Rap, Big Daddy Kane, and Thirstin howl. All spittin in full effect punchline mode over one of my beats,…

    Old school selection i know but i don’t feel many guys spittin these days,..

    A more modern selection maybe: Meyhem, Roc Marciano, Jadakiss, Ghostface, Again with me on beat. :)

    ..Looking forward to reading some other peoples selections…

  3. dope selection.
    sean is da man big time.he’s rippin it
    apart on any track.i’ll go thirstin for
    howl too.and the ‘new n improved’ rugged man.
    always nice to hear them spit.

  4. am sayin…. DOOM, Ghostface, Pharoahe Monch, Eminem, and Busta Rhymes…. each of these mc’s is crazy hype, as a super group the shit would be fuckin bananas

  5. how about…

    percee p
    inspectah deck
    pharoahe monch
    godfather don
    …with gf don or beatnuts on the beats?

  7. all honky squad:
    Pete Nice
    Fatal
    R.A.
    Tom J from the Knucklehedz

    beats by J-Love and Sam Sever
    guest raps and prod.from Edan the Humble Magnificent

  8. Guilty Simpson
    Percee P
    Ghostface Killah
    Sean Price

    With Madlib on the beats

  9. Rhymefest, Talib Kweli, Andre 3000 (provided he actually raps at least 85% of the time), and Bun B
    Wild Card: Chino XL

    btw, Crooked I is dope

  10. alright so since unfortunately lyrics don’t matter anymore i’m picking some of the few rappers left that are still doin it and can still make you hit rewind say “dayum!”.

    Raekwon, Jadakiss, AZ, G Rap
    Production: Preem and Alc would alternate

  12. The Incredulous Shit Spitters

    It would have to be MF Doom, Esoteric, Kool Keith and M Sayyid with a wildcard of Edan.

    Mick Boogie on the beats

  13. The Nutty Niggaz

    Kool Keith
    MF Doom
    Fat Lip from Pharcyde
    and
    Myka Nyne frm the freestyle fellowship

  14. First verse Roc Marcy
    Second Sha Lumi
    Thurd Ghostface
    Forth Tragedy
    All Chorus sung by TJ Swan
    Cannons & uncompremisation – P BROTHERS
    Side B Remix – Large Pro

  15. Killer Mike, Sean Price, Casual, Pusha T

    Wild card: Mr. Lif

    Beats: Oh No, Black Milk, P Brothers

  16. I think that a selection from the Crooklyn Dodgers lineups would make a dope supergroup. I’d go with Jeru, O.C., Masta Ace and Chubb Rock. Produced by DJ Premier but tracks by Pete Rock and Large Pro would also fit.

  17. GZA
    Del the Funkee Homosapian
    Chali 2Na
    MF Doom (Beats and Rhymes)

  18. Ed209 you really puttin that reocrd together aint you? when does it drop?

  19. Sean P spits better when he’s broke and bummy. Not feelin the coked out P. Put down the pipe homes.

  20. The Un-Bearable Wackness of Being MC’s (The UWB MC’s)

    Malachi The Nutcracker
    Madlib/Quasimoto
    U-God
    Esoteric
    Aesop Rock

    And of course Primo on the beats cause he’s the only one who could pull this off (I see you Malachi).

  21. ppls got good taste… but i dont think madlib has produced anything good in years imo the first quasimoto lp

  23. Here it is, try to step to this 5 headed monster:

    -Tame One (An MC’s MC.)
    -R.A. the Ruggedman (He goes all out on posse cuts; why not up the ante with an entire group project?)
    -Pharaohe (Phenomenal Flow) Monch (Nuff Said.)
    -Copywrite (One of the best punchline rappers out there.)
    -Prince Paul (Too often overlooked, but he always brings the heat.)

    What!?

  24. With no parameters given, this is like ID-ing an Air Force One, the possibilities are infinite and intriguing.

    Giving consideration to dudes who I would like to hear together, meaning their styles are similar, yet different enough to make a cohesive “group” how about:

    AZ
    Deck
    Saigon
    Milano

    Or, for “syllables, syllables, syllables” crew, how about:

    Wordsworth
    Percee P
    L-Swift
    Diabolic

    Really, you could do this all day…

  25. Chino XL – he always brings something to the table when spitting with other emcees – peep that Riooot joint he did with Ras Kass, that joint with Immortal Tech, the stuff he did with Sway and Tech, Kool G Rap!!!

    Papoose – I recently heard that Fat Joe ‘Fair One’ diss and ‘Alphabetical Slaughter’ and have to admit I was impressed!

    Pharoahe Monche – love this dude, and feel he would gel really well with XL!

    Eminem – when he’s on point, nothing short of awesome!!!

    WILD CARD: Ras Kass – even though I don’t feel what he’s been doing more recently

    Also, didn’t really understand the Crooked I comment … he is a heavy emcee!!!!

  26. I don’t know much about Crooked I so he’s become ‘the other guy’ in the group. I also enjoy ragging on anyone west of Philly.

  27. how is this for the best reggae influenced MC’s super group:

    – Chip Fu – for that Trini spice
    – Busta Ryhmes – non stop strength
    – Spice 1 – The spiggity spice!
    – Bushwick Bill – always has some joker’s under his sleeve

    Bonus MC
    – Queen Latifah – Her chorus’ from back in the day had some CRAZY reggae flava!

    Production by
    – KRS One – check his track record! nothing but dopeness!

  28. Chino XL
    Saigon
    Blaq Poet
    Ghostface

    On the boards: Large Professor, Pete Rock, Premo (only one beat)

  29. no one mentioned Big L?? wow..
    also A.G. aint no slouch,John Robinson aka Lil Sci been dope and what ’bout Ill Bill..
    for the wildcard i go with Termanology,he got his moments lol..and why not put Statik Selektah on the beats

  31. U.G. (from Dwellas)
    Lord Have Mercy
    DV Alias Khrist
    U.G.O.
    K.A. (from Natural Elements)
    Naptron
    w/ Nick Wiz & Lord Digga on the beats

  32. Supernat
    Naptron
    Kool Keith
    Edan
    KRS (for comic relief?)

    wildcard: one of the guys from Anti-Pop Consortium

    El-P on the beat

  33. @ Robbie!!! First time I heard of Crooked was when he spit this sick freestyle with Chino on the Wake Up Show!!! Both came hard … there were rumors that Chino’s verse was going at Eminem for hijacking his style!!!! Check it: Chino and Crooked Freestyle

    With regards Crooked … I find his rhymes a little cliche at times, but def. the best from the West … and he spits flames on every single one of those SH joints.

  34. Master Ace
    Chill Rob G
    Pharoah Monche
    Redman

    Beats by Primo,P Bros,Extra P and K-Def

  35. uh yeah none of these made up crews could fuck wit the juice crew…best supergroup of all time

  36. you can say what you want just spell “Sid Roams” right

  37. damn…..every one his opinion but to front on Crooked like that….you must be from NY …..

    but everyone can put a group together just name your four fav rappers right.But is that gonna be a good group together….most of the time not

    Biggie

    Eminem

    well i can go on 4 ever

  38. Even though I am an old school cat (check my previous entry with my supergroup choices) I would love to hear a group with Joell Ortiz spittin’ stuff. To make more “modern” names, he could be joined by Immortal Technique and the guys from NYG’z. And by the way, where is Krumb Snatcha these days?

  39. ^^he got a new album out called “hidden scriptures” i think

  42. Sadat X – MC vet with the uniqueness who never disappoints
    Blaq Poet – attacks, what the fuck you thought was gonna happen?!?
    Kool G Rap – the GOAT, if he can’t eat, nobody can’t eat
    Greg Nice – mainly for hooks, for which he would be on every single one.

    wild card – M.O.P. or R.A.

  43. Unkut is trippin’ balls if yall think Crooked I ain’t nice. Ask Ras Kass, he vouches for the nigga and listed him in his own “GREATEST MC’S” list a couple of months ago. Canibus, Chino XL, Bun B, Just Blaze, Kurupt, Xzibit and the list goes on and on. All these niggas vouch for him. Stop sleeping and get educated. It ain’t hard to google the nigga. He got mad freestyles to peep on youtube.

    Unkut lost!
