One time only super groups.

So we all know Slaughterhouse was a song off of one of Joe Budden's albums that ended up getting such a good response that it ended up becoming an actual group. What are some other songs that assembled a bunch of emcees that you think should have been spun off into a group? I think of joints like Group Therapy's (R.B.X., KRS ONE, B Real, Nas) East Coast/West Coast Killaz, produced by Doctor Dre, off of Doctor Dre Presents The Aftermath, Monstars' (B Real, Coolio, Method Man, L.L.Cool J, Busta Rhymes) Hit 'Em High (Monstars' Anthem), produced by Track Masters, off of Space Jam soundtrack, Men Of Steel's (Ice Cube, Shaquille O'Neal, B Real, Peter Gunz, KRS ONE) Men Of Steel off of Steel soundtrack.
Do you think these could have worked as full albums? What were some one time only super groups you would have liked to see as an album? I wonder since Space Jam II is coming soon, will they do another Monstars' Anthem?
Hopefully not with the new generation of rappers because they suck. I just thought of Forever produced by Boi 1da off of that More Than A Game soundtrack and Relapse:Refill, they had some heavy hitters on that, do you think that Eminem, Kanye West, Drake and Lil Wayne could have worked as a super group?

Good thread. It requires some thought. I think Dre was trying to make Group Therapy happen but gave up. That's a dope song though, I think it could have worked.

I think the egos involved in 'Forever' probably mean that it wouldn't work out. Dope song though, check out the remix in my sig.

I think The Commission (BIG, Puff, Jay-Z) could have been good.

This would have been a fantastic supergroup:

Always bothered me when never got the 4 Horsemen album. Peace

Wu All-Stars immediately comes to mind. Good thread indeed

they sound great in theory and debut tracks until ego's come into place so chances of them happening and working are slim to none. Theres always that one guy who thinks he sold more so his opinion matters more, theres always that one guy who thinks he has the looks to attract a wider audience so his opinion matters more, theres always that one guy who was talented but barely sold much who is insecure and believes inserting his opinion everywhere into everything matters, theres always that one guy who believes his ear for beats is superior and his opinion matters, theres always that one guy who never likes any decision or track the group comes up with, theres always that one guy who is too busy or adds on too late, theres always the guy obligated to some major label overseeing his activities and Finally, there are always entitled fans pressuring them to a point of nervousness where they end up giving lackluster work.

these usually only work when the group came into the game together initially as that group.

Speaking of (almost) HSRMN, here's another one

You broke that down beautifully Graveyard Shifter. The best thing going for Slaughterhouse is that none of them were signed to any major labels at the time, which is what really made that e.p. and those albums possible more than anything else.

Joe Buddens a cunt.

a faggot rapper too

While joe budden is really pretentious, he does seem like a pretty smart guy and he can rap. Not sure why he gets so much hate, unless it's related to him being an arrogant asshole. He's not wack though.

I think hes wack imo, pump it up was trash

Now see Ja Rule was gay too, but at least hes got a solid album VVV and a good one Rule, unlike Budden...

Venni, Vetti, Vecci is solid for real. Some people wrote it off as a poor man's It's Dark And Hell Is Hot, but it really was it's own thing.

I never paid much attention to his music. I remember 'Focus' lol. I tried watching one of his podcasts where he spews out misinformed, self righteous bullshit and found him to be an insufferable cunt. Drink Champs on the other hand is dope most of the time.

And I've turned around on Ja Rule recently. He actually is a solid hardcore rapper and somehow also a dope Pop/R&B artist. His first 2 or 3 albums have some good shit on them.



On topic, Murder Inc was another supergroup that might have happened but someone got in Earl's ear and said Ja was biting him.

This is a mid '90s track Ja mentioned on Drink Champs, his first single:

And then 50 Cent happened..

man that murderers album wasnt bad at all, my favorite ja rule song how many wanna die is on that, that rocky sample went hard too, but somehow they couldnt clear the sample and it wasnt on the final version of the album, but we all remember that "If yall dont give a fuck like we dont give a fuck throw your mothafucking fingers in the air" track I at least remember the video with them being in a boxing ring. Supergroups that dissappointed me, definitely 4 Horsemen, but I kind of see why that broke up, Kurupt had too many records sold, to slow down and take a loss on a side project

You mean the first murderes joint yeah that was a good compilation album. Theres a DMX song in there too

Yeah, Irv Gotti presents the Murderers is a banging ass release. They should have stayed in that lane

The first thing I thought was "The Firm (Mega Included) but Dre ruined it with his g funk production. lol


A Killa Bee group would have been awesome as well.

I don't think it was all Dre's fault and his beats for The Firm weren't really G-Funk, they were his take on NY Mafia type beats. Phone Tap is probably their best song.

I think that was just generally a missed opportunity with too many smooth beats and Nature being an obvious weak link.

You know what ? I actually like listening to the firm now I’m older. IMO it’s more mature rap. That’s what’s missing in today’s game. I don’t really identify with grown men talking about being on the block or drug dealing. lol

Also

Nature is a good mc but his voice let’s him down.


peace

CRS (Child Rebel Soldier) - The group of Kanye, Pharrell and Lupe.

Only released 2 tracks, an album could have been crazy if they'd released it around late 2000's. Don't know why it didn't happen.
