So, who exactly ARE the best rap duo ever? Run DMC?
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.  I'm sick and tired of the Prince fans being sick and tired of the Prince fans that are sick and tired! | |

Run DMC -- They were groundbreakers and they gave hip hop the commercial credibility and success that it has today. Their lyrics were a tad elementary and non-complex as say Rakim (who completely changed the game), but you can't negate the fact that all emcees are indebted to these guys. | |

http://www.soundclick.com...rmusic.htm That's cool. 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!  I'm sick and tired of the Prince fans being sick and tired of the Prince fans that are sick and tired! | |

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. | |

I think every duo you listed wanted to be Run-DMC at one point. | |

Actually, now that I think of it  Greg Nice's delay chamber on the end of his lines is rather reminiscent of DMC.

My favorite song by Nice & Smooth is "No Delayin'" which samples our little man's own "Starfish And Coffee". | |
