They have classics with Biggie, Pac, and Eazy E. They are one of the top 5 best-selling rap groups of all time.

Wu Tang is number 1 for me. Problem is that people always exclude the "solo" albums when they shouldn't. At least definitely not Raekwons Cuban Linx and Ghostfaces Ironman. Cuban Linx was a duo between him and Ghostface(both are featured on the cover) and produced by the Rza. Ironman was a trio with Ghostface, Rae, and Cappadonna(all featured on the cover) and also produced by the Rza. Every single member of the Wu had an appearance or two on both albums. Dont care what anyone says but those are Wu Tang albums. I think people forget just how much of an impact they had during the 90s. People around the world were tattooing the Wu symbol on themselves. They even had their own video game. 👐

Comparing a female RAP group to a female R&B group just further proves that female rappers (no matter how much they've contributed to hip hop) aren't taken seriously. TLC is great, but TLC isn't a rap group. The top 20 list is about RAP GROUPS, not singing groups. Imagine if some idiot(s) compared NWA to Bel Biv Devoe. It's the disrespect for me. No impact? GTFOH! Alexa, play 'Get Up' by Salt-N-Pepa.

No LoX? This list invalid

No Geto Boyz?

In no particular order Outkast Wu Tang Clan Bone Thugs N Harmony Mobb Deep UGK A Tribe Called Quest 8Ball and MJG Geto Boys Goodie Mob all of these groups has landmark songs, classic albums, influence, longevity and cultural impact. there are some other groups I can name that I enjoy, but they most likely lacked enough material.

This is no debate! Yes they do!
