You'll notice that both of these songs were used for compilations. Their albums really weren't stacked with good songs to me. But there would be 3 or 4 classics.

I think the fact that they remained in the game as a group is a testament to their superiority. Most other Sacramento Rap groups only stuck it out for one album:

Nonfiktion
2 Black Basstuds
MC2 ANd J-Dogg
CCH
Odyssey
E+J
Old-E and Redrum
PCO
Hyrisk

I know what you mean by the 1 album phenomenon, happened to a lot of decent Sac rap groups/duos.. CCH, although "stuck it out for one album" had an EP with different tracks, at a different time. Hyrisk had 2 albums.

C.R.I.S.I.S. would be another heavy hitter in that one drop list of yours.

Unknown also gotta be mentioned. Also since we're talkin bout rap duos, 4Tray Block & Da Drifta & Situations as they all came from Unknown.

Don't forgot Darkside too. Although they only had 2 albums. One of which was repackaged 3 or 4 times...

Odysea would've had more weight in this topic had they continued. Same could be said with a lot of the rap duos too though.

I'd say Dosia but it was only really Luni who was from Sac. It was basically Kingpins Only with Luni as a new member.

Locc 2 Da Brain?

here's a list that no way is complete, but just an idea of how the names already mentioned compare as far as popularity, west coast impact, rap/hip hop impact..

Damn that is a list. And still triple beam gotta be head and shoulders above the rest. I can't remember crisis, I'll check that out. I don't remember liking unknown that much. Don't remember darkside.

And locc2brain and swartzaniggaz woulda been something, but they never got an album out. This new locc2dabrain is uhhhhh.....

T-Tay and babe reg had some good songs together as munnee clip.

Also "fuck a homie" is a classic triple beam song, on their third album I think?

Blackalicious? Maybe not your definition of 916 Rap, but they are certainly the most famous ones representing Sacramento.

I'd rate the following based on gangsta rap:

Nonfiktion
Triple beam
Explicit Fam (Young Joker, Kilo Kapanel, Macadame, Koo Laveesh)



Also "fuck a homie" is a classic triple beam song, on their third album I think?
Yep, that's their best song on any of their albums. It was released like you said on their 3rd album, but it sounds like it was made in the mid-late 90's.
