    The Roots

    20+ years of dropping nothing but pure heat. Classic albums in each of the last 3 decades. Most consistent act in Hip Hop history ever.

    Wish it said Favorite instead of Greatest so I could mention Flatbush Zombies and The Underachievers.

    To answer the question I would say NWA. Straight Outta Compton gets consistent replay from me at least twice a week.

    Outkast and mobb deep are not a group. And noone is saying there as good as Wu that would be ridiculos

    @Skippy i never sakd anything about Earl not being part i jhst dont think yku can count frank ocean anymore. And no i dknt fknd taco or jasper funny necaise i was born after 2000. Iv seen them twice and all they did was try to rap a couple of verses and jump about. Taco presses play on his laptop

    any hip hop act with more than 1 MC in it is a group. Yeah if you want to nitpick Outkast and Mobb Deep are duos but they are commonly referred to as groups.

    Skippy said that Odd Future is the new wu tang clan lol. not even close to being true.

    g--- Starr only has Guru and preemo in it though and preemo is only a producer so it's not the same thing as outkast or mobb deep. I don't care about OP's definition. Mobb Deep & Outkast are still groups.

    Can we just say this:
    NWA had one classic group album, and a few awful EPs/compilations.

    G-unit no question about it and never will be.

    And just imagine if Game had never left the group, and that p---- kidd kidd never joined, they'd be even better

    You have a very narrow knowledge of rap if you think G-Unit is the best group of all time.

    50 Cent and Lloyd Banks are better than every rapper in NWA and Wu Tang clan

    Yikes at the hate for Odd Future. If they did the exact same thing, but twenty years ago, people would love them. But they're not old so therefore they can't compare to the classics because they don't appeal specifically to the hip hop heads smh

    I like Odd Future, but they're not even close to Wu-Tang. You know I'm not a "real hip-hop" person, but none of their albums can touch 36 Chambers/Liquid Swords/OB4CL/Supreme Clientele/Ironman/Fishscale/Return to the 36 Chambers/etc.

    Its not hating if i say that they dont belong in a convo about the best hip hop groups ever. Most people would never rank OF like that. It has nothing to do with if they are old or new, they have nothing to put them in this convo

    Huh I know A LOT of people IRL who think OF are GOAT, and not just ignorant bandwagoners. Idk, maybe I'm biased but I think b------, Wolf, Doris, CO, NU and IDLSIDGO are at least within the same area as those, but like I said I'm probably just the minority here I guess.
