I aint down with the MOBB......but to not mention them in a DUO appreciation thread would be low even for me!

Does Jozi qualify?

It would appear someone doesn't know the meaning of the word "duo"
Dogg Pound? Jozi?

My dude, the last I checked The Dogg Pound had only Kurupt and Daz as members. I know Nate and Snoop were featured a lot in the early days (and that their last album had Snoop in it or something like that), but the Pound was Daz and Kurupt.
As for Jozi, its only Les and Ishmael. Or maybe do we discount Ish coz he doesnt rap?

Ok. I didn't know that.
I thought Snoop, Nate and Soopafly were also in Dogg Pound.
And isn't Bongz also a member of Jozi?

For the Pound check: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tha_Dogg_Pound
The other guys were just part of the bigger Long Beach connection, or wherever they are from.
Bongz left...some info on them: http://www.overtone.co.za/musician/jozi

Fallacy..or prove it by comparing their joints with the federations'

I won't get into it, as I have mentioned they have no material out unless you want me to go to Voice Of Soweto archives or find my old tapes.

Ha Ha. Yeah, I remember that story as well. Brick must get called out for this one! How can you go from throwing a VCR out of a window almost knocking a pa**er-by eternally unconscious to listing them as one of the best ahead of smifnwessun too?

H2O no doubt for me! They had some few joints i really liked.They had Its wonderful,they had Ama gish gish,nice.
Like this other joint where them H20 Dudes are dating n are pussy whipped by this one broad and they dont know shes playing them. That track concept is like they both making a call to this broad rapping over the phone and after each verse,she interrupts"Hold on baby,ive got another call coming wait,dont hang up" then Sphiwe starts rapping while the other nigga waits getting his airtime wasted. nice song nice beat!!!

Oops, always forget about that other crooner dude. But he always comes across as a featured guest to me, like a non-permanent member with a recurring role as a crooner. :D :D
I guess I was thinking too much on "rap duo" and subconsciously forgot about KG.
He needs to a**ert himself more as part of the group on all fronts. :)

Calling Roxanne 8) that was a dope concept for real kinda reminds me of Love triangle by Scavengers (if I'm spelling the name right).

This looks proper! I was wondering why nobody mentioned 'Kast or Rae and Ghost until this post, only other duos I can think of worthy of mention are Eric B & Rakim (if you consider GangStarr and Kool G Rap & Polo,..), Slick Rick & Doug E Fresh, London Posse, Heltah Skeltah, Artifacts (Tame & MC EL), Qwel & Maker, Siah & Yeshua, KMD, Latyrx, Blackalicious, Kataklizim (zimbabwe), Positive Black Soul (senegal) and FOKN BOIS (ghana),.. oh yeah and Robo & Omen (s.a.) from back in the day ;)

I wouldnt consider Gangstarr a "rapping" duo because Premier didnt trade rhymes with guru but they are one of the dopest hiphop groups ever. It's not getting technical with it so to each his own!
I forgot Robo and Omen were a group though but I remeber that Day 7 joint now. You got their ealier tracks?
Snaz and X-Amount had a good chemistry too.
-
Bad meets evil should probably be on here, even if they've only dropped two EPs.
The new one is a nice, but I don't like the double-time flows on almost every track. Em sounds way too much like Tech9 when he does that.
Weren't souls of Mischief a duo?

Souls of Mischief are three dudes, Opio, A-plus and Tajai
Channel Live were a dope duo too, should probably get a mention in here...

Oh yeah. I forgot about Tajai.
Thanks.
Think I should pull out the old music tonight when I get home.

The track is "Calling Roxanne". Apparently it was a true story.
My fav is: Heltah Skeltah, Blackstarr, H2O and Raekwon and Ghost (Not sure if the count as a duo)
-
Rapping duos....
For me.
Redman and Method man
Blackstar
ATCQ (Q-tip and Phife Dawg)
I am not sure if Rapper/Producer partnerships count as duos...because i would have a much longer list for these.
