Group mentality may drive people to act a certain way in the larger context. But within rap, it drives artists towards innovation. A group of four or five can really bank on each other, positively reinforcing the power of the group. So many dope groups over the years have made their mark on hip-hop. And here are some of these artists. Till next week, bump some Killarmy or Freestyle Fellowship. I recommend it.
