Hip Hop historians of Era I need your help.

There was a rap duo in the 90's 200's comprised of a heavy set African American and a Caucasian American. They made a lot of music then vanished. For about a week I've almost had their name on the tip of my tongue but simply can't remember their names, album(s), or group name.

Please help.

We have a winner! Thanks Koozek

Though I'm kinda embarrassed I didn't remember Killer Mike being one half of the Duo. smh.
LOOL, i was so close to not including them because i assumed there was no way you'd forget their name (especially Killer Mike) since they're a fairly recent duo and started their career only in around 2013. i thought you were looking for one from the 90's/early 00's.

Good music always makes me feel like Rap is in a different era.

Seriously solid. I remember so many people saying this year was weak for music in the pitchfork thread. I don't know what the hell people want. Plenty of dope albums.

I think I'm still stuck wanting sounds like late 90's and early 2000's hip-hop. Everything nowadays sounds like trap music to me. Not ... musical enough. That probably doesn't make sense.

I'm also probably not listening to the right albums.

2018 has been incredible for hip-hop albums. Listen to that Reset Earl song or (whatever his name is), he lists a bunch.

Oh just realised I can tag Earl

Brilliant, thanks for the recommendations. I've actually listened to the Elzhi and Masta Ace albums and really liked both so I'll make a point of trying the others you recommended.
