The hip hop super unit or label or group or whatever you
want to call it isn’t a new idea. Hip Hop has always somehow been built on
crews and affiliations (see: Native Tongues of the 90s afro centric conscious
hip hop movement, Dungeon Family of Atlanta and others…)
But now we see Hip Hop groups and labels similar to sports
teams. Everyone playing roles in front and behind the scenes to overall team
success and since the NBA season is pretty much done with a lockout I’m curious
to see what hip hop super group is poised for a championship and who is poised
for a long run dynasty in your opinion.
The contenders profiles are as follows: Young Money, Roc nation and
Maybach Music.
