Best Rap Group

[josh99ta 10+ year member]

We've all seen a ton of posts on here as well as shows on TV about the best rappers out there, but you never see a "Best Rap Group" of two or more guys, so why not make one? Do a top three, a top five, top ten, whatever you want to do, but who do you think are the best rap group out there?

EDIT: Reader's Digest Version...

IMO, I've got to give it to Outkast. For around 10 years these guys have been making their music, never following the crowd. Over a handful of records and not one single weak one IMO. Of course some are better than others but none of them are bad in any way, shape, or form. Big Boi and Andre are two totally different people and that diversity comes through in the music, making it a little different than everything else out there.

Gangstarr, ATCQ, Wu-Tang.

ATCQ I haven't dug in to too deep, but they are obviously up there in my book. Gang Starr was my first introduction to hip hop (Above the Clouds) and I love them as well, but they lack the ability to mix it up with Guru handling most of the lyrics. Wu-Tang obviously speaks for themselves and are in my top three, coming in at #2 on my list probably. They've had their ups and downs but when they are on, they are near unbeatable.

My opinions of D12 aside, they've only got a few albums out and haven't shown any significant staying power, so I think that disqualifies them. Sure there are some great rappers or groups that put one a great album, but to consistently make good albums is the mark of a legend IMO.
