NWAI went NWA for influence and impact, but Wu Tang definitely has the superior body of work.

Wu TangGotta go with the Wu, but they're almost a category of one. I know there's a bunch of children on this bored, still don't forget about Run-DMC. Influential musically, and perhaps more so culturally by starting to mainstream hip hop.
-
Bone Thugs N HarmonyThe correct answer is NWA when you consider the impact and solo careers of the members. I always loved bone thugs sound, there's nothing really like them. Seems like whenever they touch a track as a featured artist it takes the music to another level. "Notorious Thugs" with Biggie is one of the greatest songs all time.

No doubt. I spent more time listening to Bone than the rest of them combined. I think they're underrated these days for whatever reason. Probably because they're from Leaveland (lol!).Doogles said:The correct answer is NWA when you consider the impact and solo careers of the members.

And shame on you for leaving out Run DMC and the Beastie Boys. -

I thought about Run DMC but I didn't want to go a mile long. Beastie Boys would have won the pole rather easily with all these cracka ass crackas around so I couldn't include them.PurpleJ said:

Listen to KEXP tomorrow, they are playing the album and every song sampled on the album. Interviews with the band and the Dust Brothers. -
Wu TangYikes a lot of Twisting going on in this thread.
I'm not going to say Wu Tang by a landslide but they are the best. Some of the best albums ever. 36 Chambers, Cuban Linx, Liquid Swords (personal favorite), Tical, 4:21 The Day After, Wu Tang Forever, Iron Flag, Fishscale, Legend of the Liquid Sword... Too many amazing albums to rattle off.
Method Man to this day is still one of the best live performances I have ever seen. Maybe it was partially due to having a blunt passed to me ever 10 seconds but still.
NWA based on sheer success of the individual members/group sure... But the Monks of Shaolin get my vote.
Oh and where the fuck is the love for one of the greatest Hip Hop bands of all time THE ROOTS. -

Great poont on The Roots, definitely a worthwhile addition to the list.CuntWaffle said:Yikes a lot of Twisting going on in this thread.

Such a tough call between Bone Thugs and Wu-Tang for me. I like the solo stuff from Dre, Ice Cube, and Eazy E better than the stuff on NWA albums, but it's hard not to pick them too. Cypress Hill deservedly didn't get any votes, but they are good too. Geto Boys should be on the list.
2 Live Crew is pretty weak. I guess it's fun party music, but they suck. I've never been into Public Enemy either. -

Triple 6 is from #MyMemphis but let's be honest, they're not GOAT material. For these purposes I was considering a "group" to be > 2, (otherwise Erik B and Rakim would be here too) but Outkast is legendary for a reason no argument there. And I honestly don't know enough about Screwed Up Click to comment.doogsinparadise said:GTFO, where are Three 6, Screwed up click, and Outkast?

NWA
Agree that neither of them would be in my personal rankings, but I figured they'd have some fans. Geto Boys is a good call, though my favorite old school Dirty South group was Goodie Mob. But Bushwick > C-Lo as far as rap midgets are concerned.RoadDawg55 said:Such a tough call between Bone Thugs and Wu-Tang for me.

Fair enough on Outkast being a duo and three six not being the greatest, though starting that whole horror rap sub genre was pretty important in Southern rap.dnc said:

Agree, but to be rap group superiority asshole, 3-6 has more than 2 members. Crunchy Black and Gangsta Boo say hi.dnc said:
