i agree Bone is really influential especially in the Mid West division of hip hop...when they came out look at all the groups that followed...Crucial Conflict, Do Or Die, Three 6 Mafia [Yeh I Know They SOUTH But They Used To Sound Like Bone], Twista [Got A New Deal After Bone Dropped], Speed Knot Mobstaz, etc...now you got peeps like Nelly that is obviously influenced by Bone with his sing song flow...

well we need hellrazor up in this piece to further the topic since he the expert Bone fan...

anyways Bone deserves to be considered as one of the best groups ever IMO...

Well If  Bone gets respect from a west coast board, it's certain they gone get respect from every other board, but theres alwayz gonna be a fool like u wit different oppinions, but dats his oppinion and it aint reality.

There is NO top 3, cuz you'd leave out too many influential groups. I could easily make a case for Bone, Public Enemy, Run Dmc, The Wu, the Beasties, NWA, Outkast, Gang Starr [i cant believe no one has mentioned them yet], and Tribe. Run Dmc is probably the most influential, since they paved the way for pretty much everyone. But it takes more than impact to make a great group. I think, song for song, album for album, Public Enemy, Bone, Wu Tang, and Outkast are better than Run Dmc, but thats just me. Public Enemy was HUGE, they opened alot of eyes in the black community and were the first "prophets of rage", and Chuck D is probably Pac's [rip] biggest influence. Wu Tang brought that gritty sound back to hip hop when the west was dominating, and they brought lyrical fire and RZA is a sharpass producer. They made some great concept albums too. Outkast is probably the most consistant rap group ever. 4 straight classic albums, all with a different formula. They are on pace to become the best group ever. Without Bone, there is NO midwest, and coupled with the fact that E.1999 Eternal is one of the top 10 hip hop albums ever [IMO], they are one of the best. They brought a completely new sound to the table.

Basically, there is no top 3. Its impossible to say.
