Whether it was two emcees rocking the stage together or one emcee backed by a dope DJ, Hip-Hop has had a lot of duos that have shown why 2 heads are better than 1.


While Hip-Hop changes the consistency of a good duo has always been around and still is.

Whether you are a fan of Eric B and Rakim, Clipse, or Outkast, no matter what style of Hip-Hop you like, there was a duo for you.

However, the question remains who is the best?

Peep the page #'s of our list and let us know who you think is number 1.

    Y'all forgot Run-DMC. There was a time 1983-1986 when they indisputable kings of hip hop.

    • BrackusStudley

      Run DMC is 3 people, not 2.

  • Connoisseur

    Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince......Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock (and you called the article "it takes 2?")

    @ Josh

    I did not forget JMJ. Technically on the mic Run DMC was a duo. Salt n Pepa is on this list and they had Spinderalla. EMPD also had a fulltime DJ: K La Boss and then Scratch.

    no dpg? okay. but there isn't any question that outkast is the greatest duo of all time... S&P are high up too tho.

    The fact that Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince weren't named on this list allows me to not take it seriously. Not taking anything away from any of these groups, but Outkast wouldn't have been able to win ANY Grammys if JJFP didn't boycott and win the first one. Just saying.

    Gangstarr:

    Best Beats and they been good back when they started and still were when Guru was healthy still.

  • Jey2K

    Gang Starr, No question is #1...If you think otherwise I'd really like to hear about it

  • BLive1013

    Outkast is the Best Music Duo of All Time Period...

  • decipher

    The Greatest comes in the word DUO. Everyone on this list you can imagine one w/o the other on a record, NOW, try that w/ Salt n Pepa... you can't do it! And to me thats what makes them the greatest Rap duo of all time. W/ the Males, you can name one after another, BUT, what other Female Group EVEN comes close?

  • DarealestMC

    No doubt Public Enemy.

  • REAL

    NAS & AZ !!!

  • schoolcraft 1988

    Snoop & Dre, Ruck & Rock, Ghostface & Raekwon, Daz & Kurupt,
