Yup, I agree. The other groups' breakups were somewhat easier to swallow, because beforehand, there had been stories about tensions between the members (i.e., Cube Vs. NWA, Dre against Eazy and Jerry Heller, Willie D. against James Smith and/or Scarface, Daz Vs. Kurupt, etc.) before the breakups occured. In those cases, you could sort of see the breakups coming.

But EPMD's breakup seemed so...sudden, as I recall. They had just released BUSINESS NEVER PERSONAL (which some folks I know count as their favorite EPMD CD, period). That CD was about as underground-bordering-on-dirty-sounding as you could get (the production was almost like what the Boot Camp Click would do between '93-'95), and then, all of a sudden...the news says, "EPMD break up!" One of the saddest days for Hip-Hop, ever. Eric Sermon's had some decent success as a producer, but yeah, solo-wise, neither of them can do alone what can they do together.

PEACE!

Gang Starr just split up as well, but there last album was boring as shit anyway.

I used to love EPMD but it was no great loss that they didnt continue making music, the last 2 comeback albums they did lacked heart, it was clearly just a money thing, the vibe between them had gone.

Also Geto Boys are coming back with a new album

UGK havent split up but until Chad gets released they may as well have, thats the biggest loss to me at this point.

I don't mean to sound like I'm not in the know, but why did Gang Starr split up? Just wondering...

PEACE!
