    rappers who aint from the hood

    I think if you got skills as an M.C./producer you deserve respect when rap began it was just about having fun, makin good music, it started as a party music. Gangsta rap is only a recent phenamena. The majority of people buying the highest rap selling albums are white suburban teenagers...

    why aren't there rapper producer groups/duos anymore?

    yeah I think the industry has a lot to do with it, nowadays it's like three or four producers that have a monopoly on the bussiness if you're not produced by one of them it's hard to have a hit song, plus most record companies want to use in house producers when they sighn a rapper so they can...

    back in tha day most of the albums were made by rapper producer groups you had Pete Rock CL Smooth, Gangstarr, Tribe, Slum Villiage, Digable Planets now albums are produced by different producers on damn near every track.
