"95'96 Wars" Mobb Deep vs Dogg Pound "95'96 Wars"

[Chyeahhh!!!]

haven't seen this matchup, thought about it on the way home from work. You've got an ill lyricist and a beast on the production on either side. Lets not even get into relevance as of late but rather lets see the tail of the tape during the golden era and contributions:

you've got the Dogg Pound that consists of Kurupt, a skilled wordsmith who's lyrical prowness has been paired with the likes of and Crooked I and the DOC on the Westcoast in his hay days. Shit, when Canibus, Killah Priest, and Ras Kass wanna form a super group with you, you gotta be on point with that ballpoint yah heard! A brilliant freestyler and a unorthodox wittyness when it comes to word selection and flow. Then you've got Daz, who arguably influenced Tupac's flow during the height of the Death Row machine, who's smooth g funk production has graced everyone from the likes of Snoop Dogg to Gwen Stefani. Dude has the gangsta tip down on the boards, I'd say that the only dude in that era to mirror his contributions would be DJ Quik imo, not to disregard Dr. Dre, but Dre is a monster on his own. This westcoast group has a staple in the game no matter what coast you're on.

then you've got Mobb Deep that consists of Prodigy, who was in my top 10 from like 95-pre Jumbotron. Lets not forget how this dude's imagery laced raps and downright bluntness on the mic blessed speakers for a minute. Dude's flow is also unorthodox, non compromising and unforgiving. He's held down the fort when it came to the back in forths with Keith Murray, Jay-Z, and Tupac. Then you've got Havoc, who's influenced DJ Muggs and Alchemist on that production tip. Dudes strings, piano riffs, and scratch sample selections send chills to say the less. "Eerie" comes to mind when you think of this dude's production. This dude could make a soundtrack to some Halloween movies and shit. Legendary group

now begs the question, who's better?
