More Super Groups!

First off, sorry for the lack of post. I think I can speak for everyone here at Too Much Birthday Cake when I say the summer got the best of us! Woo Woo!

Some awesome reports of a couple new Super Groups are circling the ol' net. This time its rap and R&B that is grouping up to up to be super.

Hip hop Super groups aren't a new thing...
Having success like they do in the rock world is and few groups have managed that.

The All City Chess Club
Lupe Fiasco, Wale, The Cool Kids, Blu, Asher Roth, J Cole, B.O.B, Charles Hamilton, Diggy
Lupe calls this more of a movement than a group. “I just wanted it to be the collective of those dudes and put a name on it,” said Lupe. “Like they already kinda put us Yall in the same box. They kinda put us in the same family of MC’s whether it be the hipster rappers or the nerd rappers…Since they putting us in a box, might as well own the box. And write our name on the box and paint it the color
we want it." Lupe says no album their Facebook page says "just gotta be patient on the music....this aint Detox though, so dont worry, it wont take 3453 years."


???
Questlove from The Roots, Raphael Saadiq, Amy Winehouse
Questlove has confirmed this group stating that the only thing holding them back is Winehouse's inability to travel. "...definitely going to happen, it’s just that we have to work overtime to get her visa situation together. The closest she can come to the States is Jamaica" This groups sounds like it could easily make some music history if they can get Winehouse to clean up.



The Dream Team
Diddy, Dj Khaled, Fat Joe, Busta Rhymes, Rick Ross, Red Cafe
Diddy is reported to have assemled His idea of a dream tream. Throwing away whatever credibility Busta Rhymes had, Diddy decided to put him on par with the likes of Fat Joe. Whether or not this team of 'entertainers' will produce anything listenable it'll definitely be a memorable collaboration.
