Discussion How have the Hieroglyphics managed to stay together for so many years with so many members in it?

Usually its hard for a group to stay together and not many have 9 members in it. A lot of times they break up and have other things going on or want to go solo. Del is very successful on his own. Maybe they aren't as active or busy but they're still together today and that's pretty rare. They're definitely very loyal to another.

Because they were all friends before they were crew.

Their personal histories bind them, not their business interests.

Crews that form out of business interests tend to suffer breakups, because the thing that binds them is fragile.

Look at G-Unit, Dipset, Young Money.

These were crews formed out of industry pursuits.

And they all broke in some form.

I think they are just good homies and getting “big” in the rap world isn’t their priority. Del could’ve worked with ice cube a lot more to blow up but that wasn’t part of the vision. (I’m talking out of my ass but I do think it makes sense)

Being friends and cool people usually works. I'm still friends with the same crew as when I was growing up
