Super-mediocre Rap Groups

So Slaughterhouse is a new rap crew that consist of Crooked I, Joell Ortiz, Joe Budden, and Royce 5' 9." You got four pretty good rappers, but is to go so far to say a "Supergroup" is somewhat misleading. I don't understand how you get above average rappers to get any better combined with other above average rappers. Thats like if I were to take Carson Daily and Craig Ferguson To make a Super Late Night Show.

Furthermore lets look at other Super-Mediocre Rap collabs:

 

Ali & Gipp

 

Do you remember Goodie Mob? How about the St. Lunatics? Well what if we combine Bigg Gip and Ali together from those groups? Do you even remember which artist comes from which camp?

The Sothern collaboration that no one ask for their household names to create the super average group "Ali & Gipp," with the album selling a whopping 4,331 units.

 

Harlem World Featuring Mase

As you can tell from Mase's Very award winning and comical acting skills as an officer, this group screams as whats his name and whats her name rap those hard lyrics to a cheesy Just Blaze Production.

 

Omarion and Bow Wow

So we gather here the leading stars of Urban Dance/sports Youth movies and have them create an album that you might be think would be a compilation soundtrack to all the dance movies that came out in the past 10 years. Looking at the cover, it would look like if we going to fight over a starring role for another dance movie. But nope, they created music and the album didn't even go gold.

 

What if we were to take this formula further in Movies? Take Crappy Future Sci-Fi plot, Blacks Vs. Asians, Romeo Vs. Julet, Marques Houston, Urban Dance moves and we have a cluster frak of crappy movie.

 

Lesson: if your product sucks, don't cram other crap that is equal value.

Press Release


Kidz In The Hall, Bun B and Talib Kweli Team Up for Change

New York, NY - As the first group in the Hip-Hop community to publicly endorse presidential hopeful Barack Obama back in late 2007, Kidz In The Hall will continue their unwavering support for the Chicago native this evening (Monday, March 31st) with the help of some friends. Kidz In The Hall’s whose soulful ode to Barack Obama is entitled, “Work To Do,” will be world premiering their “Change Remix” tonight on two mediums; one on Hip-Hop mega-site, Allhiphop.com, as well as on super DJ/Producer Green Lantern’s Sirius Satellite “Hip-Hop Nation” radio show---and both premiers will happen simultaneously. The “Change” remix is produced by Kidz In The Hall member Double-0 and features heavyweights Bun B and Talib Kweli, who like many in the hip hop community, are proud to show their support for Obama. The song’s content focuses its attention on many of the issues facing both the artists as individuals, as well as the country as a whole. Having three emcees, all from different cities in the US – Chicago, Brooklyn and Houston respectively – shows the unification within the Hip-Hop community that will hopefully encourage young people to take a long look at the issues affecting them in this country.

The “Change” remix will also be the first release that will be featured on the much talked about DJ Green Lantern & Russell Simmons’ “Yes We Can” – Obama mixtape due out next month.

Kidz In The Hall will embark on a 16 city college campus tour this week with Gym Class Heroes to support the May 13 release of their sophomore LP The In Crowd. Talib Kweli has just released the MCEO mixtape with Mick Boogie and his CD, Eardrum, is in stores now. Bun B will be releasing his much anticipated II Trill solo project April 29th.

I wonder how many rap fans are actually registered? I am...
