“Bring your Crew” is a new series that will go back through Hip Hop history and highlight the impact that different crews had, as well as the music they created. A crew can be a group, members of a label, or even a group of MC’s that came together and created music but never really considered themselves a group.
The first crew I will feature is Terror Squad. Watch this clip of a throwback BET interview where Fat Joe introduces the members of Terror Squad and explains how they all got started:
Members: Fat Joe, Big Pun, Prospect, Cuban Link, Armageddon, Triple Seis, Tony Sunshine, Remy Ma
Years Active: 1998-2004. The group took a great loss when Big Pun passed in 2000. After Pun’s death, Cuban Link and Triple Seis left the group and Remy Ma was added.
Projects: (1999) The Album; (2004) True Story
The group was made up of talented MC’s even though they never really made chart-topping music, until “Lean Back” in 2004. Big Pun was one of a kind and an irreplaceable force. Also, don’t get it twisted, Remy Ma held (and still holds) her own on the track.
