JANFAN4L said: Boogie Down Productions was an incredible rap duo as well. They churned out CLASSIC albums: Criminal Minded, By All Means Necesary, Ghetto Music: The Blueprint... and [b]Edutainment[/i]. Of course, their debut is the shining jewel. They were a duo up until DJ Scott La Rock's tragic murder (and their numbers fluctuated shortly following), but their music still lives on today (and has insatiable staying power). KRS-One is an undenibaly powerful lyricist and orator -- regardless of whatever political ramblings the guy spews today -- you cannot deny the man's style and delivery. Scott La Rock didn't have much mic time, but we all loved "Super Hoe"(!!!) BDP ranks in the upper echelon with Run-DMC, in my opinion.

For trading lines nobody beats RUN DMC as far as the personality chemistry, nobody beats Chuck and Flava, but as far as creative synergy I have to say Outkast | |

For me its Run DMC followed by Salt n Pepa | |

For me, when you put the whole package together, no one touches OutKast. If it wasn't restricted to lyrical duos, the crown would belong to Eric B. & Rakim -- but I'll observe the rules... 
Honorable mention: EPMD Run-D.M.C. Q-Tip & Phife (from Quest) Pos & Dove (from De La) BabyBam & Mike G. (from the Jungle Brothers) Organized Konfusion Black Star Das EFX Camp Lo | |

Has to be Run DMC - unquestionably pioneers and broke rap into mainstream. A couple that haven't been mentioned:-
Audio 2 ("Milk is chilling, Giz is chilling....") Roxanne Shante & Biz Markie - "Def Fresh Crew (Live)" (not strictly speaking a duo but this track is the BOMB!) Everybody is special. Everybody. Everybody is a hero, a lover, a fool, a villain. Everybody. Everybody has their story to tell. |

No dispute with any of those, but isn't Run-DMC a trio? I consider duos to be DJ+MC or 2 MCs with a no-name DJ. There is no Run-DMC without JMJ, so I don't technically consider them a duo. They are the greatest trio of all time, there is little room for argument on that. But these cats right here already belong in the convo to me.  Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016

I've always viewed Jam Master Jay to Run-DMC, the same way I view Spinderella to Salt-N-Pepa. The silent member that's a part of the crew, but they don't really say anything on record. | |

namepeace said: No dispute with any of those, but isn't Run-DMC a trio? Of course Run-DMC is a trio. But some people obviously aren't reading the original post in this thread which is asking for a combination of two MCs whose style together was the greatest of all time. That's why a trio like Run-DMC is getting mentioned, but a duo like Eric B & Rakim isn't. | |

Fair enough. In that case, Run-DMC tops the list and I take Madvillain off, but I have yet to see these cats: 
Kelvin Mercer is arguably the best MC out today, and Dave is among the greats as well. Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016

It wasn't just you. theAudience posted Eric B & Rakim and thesexofit also asked if Run-DMC was a trio. That's two other people who don't read. | |

Salt n Pepa? Outkast? EPMD? 8ball & MJG? Kid N Play? Das EFX? Any others you want to mention? Cool, but we're talking about duo in the sense of delivering the vocal one-two punch, not necessarily a group with only two members. Maybe you didn't read it [Edited 1/5/05 15:39pm] | |

Although Outkast is my all-time favorite rap group, they always spit their voices solo. As far as the good ol' fshioned one-two punch, I'ma go with EPMD! OK. After my last faux pas, might as well throw some more sh*t in the game. What about...

I think y'all covered all the greats.I might add psycho les and juju from the beatnuts.Yes,part of their history is as a trio,but they have also recorded a lot as a duo and master production team. Another VERY part-time duo was gza and odb.Also,very cleverly,Slick Rick rhymed with himself much like Marvin duetted with himself on some songs.And then you can't forget Cypress Hill.Oh,and Whodini!!Although,one half of that duo far outclassed the other half.
