what circles?? people who were too young for the hit squad??
and DOG, das efx had the biggest run out of everybody in this conversation. epmd & redman included.
def squad became an actual group that dropped albums in the midst of the sales-boom era. so of course their name is more recognizable than the hit squad who never released an album under that name. it was just a moniker known amongst rap fans.
but in terms of who was bigger, the hit squad was bigger easily. the idea of anything otherwise is laughable.
im the same age as you. LOL. i was into this chit ERRLY, while you sound like you didnt get into rap like that until around when pac & big died.

and thats fine, but lol @ getting in your feelings(for no reason) and trying to pull rank cuz of your age. you barkin up the wrong tree with that one. chit, i remember EPMD before redman and hit squad was even in the picture. you aint even see redman at his peak. up here talembout '85.
