The Standard.

A whole post about rap supergroups that never materialized could be made.

Would be cool though.

I called CRS never happening.

It will NEVER happen. An LP will NEVER happen. We all know this.

...I don't even know why they bother trying to pretend that it'll happen. Tip and Com announced that group like 4-5 years back and they haven't released a single song in that time. Not a single fucking song. But hey at least something might happen now that Nas is part of the project. The albums with AZ and Preemo were both great.

*waits for (insert your favorite wu-member) to be added to the line-up in about 3-years*

And I mean, both Tip and Common have dropped ALBUMS in this time period, that they could've featured the other on...to get the hype up. Get shit jump started. But nope.

It's insane. Clearly they're not the only ones but it is annoying.

Add "Nas.Com" to the list of albums that'll never be released, too.

>
What you smoking nigga? Nas and Common still rap GOAT level, and Tip is still pretty good.

...Nas and Tip can still rhyme, but that other clown Common is a shell of his former self...sad really...

http://hiphopwired.com/2012/02/22/nas-hints-at-joining-common-q-tip-in-the-standard-collaborative-project/

click, click, click.

which will also actually exists.

If so, then who is a current... I mean internet/blog/XXL freshmen lists aint adding to much and most of those on those lits have yet to create anything as classic as the material these three put out.

Nas is no has been. Neither is Tip if you ask me. Comm.. well. lol.

.

and didn't they release an album when Gerald was alive and another with his brother filling in or something?

I don't listen to that kind of R&b so I really wouldn't know.

do or die

if you take Nas' first two albums
and Tips three Tribe albums that he produced...
hell for my money all of Tribe's albums..

it's beyond the 90's and I think that with the new press release that just came out last week it's a good sign that this is moving. I doubt Tip would have let anything come out in a press form if it wasn't happening - at least I hope.

I mean OKP's rep these days are not for music - it's for this kind of enviornment.

The scales have gone from -

90s - Yeah I love music/I love hiphop/hiphop is me - I am hiphop
to the 00's - wow I can get music for free?! I'm amped
to now - Fuck yo album. Dance bitch. Now give me that album for free. I aint paying for shit and I'm talking shit!

lol. SMH.

hahahaha... I mean... I don't think a press release should get you excited per se ya know... just take it as it comes folks.

That's all, if it happens it's a win for hiphop.

I would have preferred Nas, Tip, and Pharoh - keep it all Queens but hey I'll take it.

.. but no song, no hype soz.

Like 10% of the time? I'll get excited when I hear something.

when do you actually pay for it?

Liars!

"liars" - ahahahah... cot dayum that's funny

It breaks my heart.

Shame b/c if all 3 came together they would have made one hell of a political thug album

as far as rap supergroups go.

and Q-Tip barely releases music. If it even gets recorded Nas & Tip love throwing good shit away. Hopefully we get a song, anything more is gravy.

They put out an album, which is more than half these other examples can say, and had a few marginal hits at least.

their original lineup.

big died
shit fell apart

have left Puff. Didn't need him.

like the rumors say. He was BETTER without him, in fact.

and that happened cause he was about to bounce once he learned about his Publishing being owned by Puff for Ready To Die.

Yeah he was out.

Originally known as The Incredible Force, but with Absolute instead of Jeru.

Do you have any articles on this or anything? I never heard anything of this.

Final track on Disc 1 is a freestlye session on the STretch and Bobbito show with Monch, Thought, Common, and Absolute. At the end of the session, they say they're going by the name "The Incredible Force." Then there were just rumors of the Psychic Friends, with Jeru in the line-up as well.

They briefly make an appearance in the "1-9-9-9" video. At about 1:20 they show Common standing on the steps with Black Thought, Jeru, and Absolute.

Not much has been written about them and most of it was after the fact. The "Egotrip book of lists" mentioned them in "Rumored super-groups." Various other mags/websites have mentioned them also in the context of super-groups that never materialized.

Funnily enough I just heard that freestyle session you speak of for the first time in like 10 years about 3 weeks ago, and was loving it...but somehow didn't hear that announcement at the end. I'll have to listen later and focus on that part. Perhaps I did hear that and just thought they were kidding, or something, since they all sounded pretty fucked up in that session.

I'll also have to check for the 1-9-9-9 cameo, I wouldn't have thought anything of that though because there were a few cameos in that video.

Thanks for the info.

what's ill is how Thought is still killing, year after year while the rest... well.

is much much better.

where they had the front profile... were they were standing there.

then the back cover had them all holding a weapon,

a chain, a bat, and who knows what else?
haha.. corn-eee.

iirc, it was just Common and Q-Tip though.

the thing people may want to consider is often times recording the music is the easy part - there is management, labels, contracts to consider.

I mean think about it... Tribe is still under contract with Jive to this day.

Why people are upset tho is funny as hell if not just downright childish.

Or they could just be passionate about music. *shrugs*

Either way it aint like half the people who posted are even buying music so to be pissed about not getting free music is hilarity.

>the thing people may want to consider is often times

..when we bitch about these albums coming out. I'd go as far as to say that the majority of them aren't released specifically because a contract couldn't be figured out between various labels, and that's the only reason music never surfaces.


>I mean think about it... Tribe is still under contract with

Insane.

Not really.

Thereeeee ya go.

I don't fall into this category so I see what you're saying.

where their passion is. Otherwise...

I lived in Atlanta when they announced that which would put it at '06 or '07.

and Com has changed labels...

that alone could be the problem.
