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

    Simple question really, which group (past or present) is the greatest? Your answer can be a personal choice or just one where you think x is the best because... and so on.

    I'd probably say A Tribe Called Quest. They brought prominence to the East Coast scene when during the time it was mainly about the West Coast and their dominance of the genre (sweeping generalisation there). And probably because I'm a sucker for conscious/alternative hip-hop.

    They have three critical albums that most if not all hip-hop heads should know about (People's Instinctive Travels and Paths of Rhythm, The Low End Theory, Midnight Marauders).

    So tell me SXN80, which group is the greatest in your eyes?

    *Note that my definition of 'group' is three or more members*

    Lol odd future doesnt belong in this discussion at all. And they aint s--- compared to wu tang. A bunch of dumb kids trying to be edgy and appeal to a certain demographic. They have yet to put out any kind of great album that i could compare to 36 chambers or wu tang forever. So f*ck that comparison. They aren't even top 10 or 20.

    1. Wu Tang
    2. Outkast
    3. The Roots
    4. Mobb Deep
    5. A Tribe Called Quest
    6. Onyx
    7. Slum Village
    8. De La Soul

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

    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.
