what rapper has ever stood on his own, really?
Nas
Cigarettes, Ice Cream and Figurines of the Virgin Mary http://www.last.fm/user/actsyalawlz
A lot of people are mixing up a collective and then a group. GOOD Music, OF, etc are collectives, but Wu Tang is arguably a group (with a few honorary members I guess)

I think this trend is rising given out of necessity. The function of groups is to account for the fact that hip-hop and the music industry in general is devolving and becoming increasingly splintered because of the internet. There used to be like a few big cats who got all the attention and now everyone with a decent amount of talent (and some without) are riding the internet hype machine. It's hard to get attention in this format so groups are built to account for that. That's how Doomtree's survived so long independently, and it only makes sense that's how a lot of independent artists are coming up now.

Well said. That's kinda the way I was thinking about it. Obviously there have always been groups, but what I'm mostly saying is like because of the changing industry, you literally have to have a team around you with other content that fans can look at. Like if a video went viral from one artist, and they're repping a group, the other content the group is putting out is usually pretty dope too.

Badboys (circa 90's), Dipset, Rocafella, Death Row, Ruff Ryders, Wutang etc There have always been movements in hip hop. No one really does it alone
