NWA in rap is the Metallica of Metal, the Led Zeppelin of Hard Rock, and the Rolling Stones of Rock-n-Roll.

I hate that you put Metallica in the list of great but overrated groups.

Wu lost to fucking Tupac, it's not like the bored picked Ja Rule over them or something. Pac's on rap Rushmore rather easily.

This is like late 80s early 90s UW/USC. USC had the star power but UW was flat better.

Eric B and Rakim IMO

So only the Jews have given NWA a game thus and now they are gonna steamroll 2 pac on the way to the finals. Way to go seeding committee.

PurpleThrobber

I honestly have to abstain.

This is a push match up for me. NWA is more charged politically and their lyrics deeper -but RUN DMC is just damned fun tunes.

80's rap all sucks to some degree. NWA is cool and were influential, but nobody listens to that shit anymore.

Pac's music is mediocre. I'm glad this bored doesn't have it ingrained in their head that him and Biggie are the best. The Rock tourney was boring because Beatles, Zeppelin, and Metallica were bound to go far because the old whitey's feel like they have to like them.

Led Zeppelin winning was boring and a forgone conclusion but there were a lot in hard fought intriguing matchups in the earlier rounds.

Da fuq? I listen to straight out of Compton from time to time. Lot of good music on that album.

Tho I do agree most of 80s rap blows. Too short, NWA, jazzy Jeff and fresh Prince are exceptions.

NWA C-walks into the Final 4 with another crushing victory, this time 20-5.

NWA is reminiscent of 1995 UCLA hoops team. Huge scare in the first round, then rolls rather easily from there. Can they #Finish?
