Why Are There No Groups In 2012?

BlackGerald

So the 80s and 90s have plenty duos and groups but nowadays you don't see none of that. just individuals and their crews/collectives

So is there a reason why there haven't been any groups bubbling outside of the underground in the last couple years?

I don't think the industry or the fans supports groups anymore. Everything is more targeted toward solo acts. With balance lacking in music, it's hard to nurture the balance of creativity, content, individuality, and vision that two or more artists bring to a group.

I think it's the reason there's been a huge decline in groups in all music since last decade.

Travis Porter, Cali Swag, New Boys, Far East Movement (all wack)

Slaughterhouse holding it down to keep it real

Gen. Stasia

Financially and Personality wise Groups generally dont work. On another note Music has suffered tremendously from it Mainly R&B. Singing was suppose to be in "Five Part Harmoney, Five Part Harmony" - Duck from 5 Heartbeat voice

And I'm sick of these rappers and their vanity labels (YM, MMG, etc)... only 2 artists at the most are any good/successful.

"vanity labels" is not a new concept buddy

Battlezone

There are groups there just either in between underground and national fame (Rich KIdz) or singers (Mindless Behavior) the only major ones that i like are Travis Porter.....This labels like MMG or YMCMB arint really groups because they all do there own solo things groups are folks that do almost every single song 2getha Ex:Travis Porter,Rich Kidz,Mindless Behavior...etc

Cause society is to damn individualistic. And suffers from ADD. Groups and even duos are a thing of the past.

Cuz all these niggas wanna be the man but they stay with inflated egos not knowing they're medicore at best so finding or having another rapper that compliments their abilities doesnt happen because niggas are just too proud and just wanna be the stand out coon

MC The Rapper

What the fuck?! so are you tryna tell me a group and a collective is not the same thing?

so then Wu-Tang Clan, Bone Thugs N Harmony, Boot Camp Clik, Dip Set, G-Unit and all them niggas weren't groups, their were collectives?

Chiddy Bang, just like Mobb Deep, M.O.P, OutKast are duos, but there just as a group as Wu Tang and ASAP Mob..

there's not a difference between a group/crew/collective because they're all the same thing...

there a number of people/things that are considered or classified together..

PRO ERA>>>>>>>>>>>anyone named.

Pac Div is a graet hip hop group

and ASAP has a good collection of MCs (sonically not lyrically)

bankrupt baller

slaughterhouse fool

numbaz...80's baby

I can't believe this hasn't been said yet but it's because of the money. Artist are selling a lot less records than the past. I don't see four niggaz wanting to split the profits of 200k records.

Yes, thats what i'm telling you. Thanks for noticing.

Look: Outkast is a duo. Dungeon Family is a collective. DF released an album, but they are NOT a group, there are a collective/family. Same with odd future. ASAP Mob is a collective.
