Run DMC obviously... they're pioneers, first rap album to go gold and platinum. first rap act to be played on MTV (technically MTV Europe had already started playing rap videos way before MTV "put Run DMC on the telly" but that doesn't really count). they are important as they helped legitimize and popularize rap music.

then N.W.A., historically speaking, NWA's Straight outta Compton is a major turning point in Rap history

Wu-Tang is a strong contender too, they placed the East back on the map commercially, they were groundbreaking in their ability to turn label politics to their advantages, but overall I think Run DMC's and NWA's impact is more significant.

the other groups didn't fundamentally change anything, so i don't see them "important" to our chosen genre, even though ATC & Outkast are brilliant groups.

LOL @ DPG making the list. i guess you had to put a local group to please the dubcc crowd. although we could argue that DPG were important as the group that made Time Warner back out from rap.

I would have added The Beastie Boyz. First rap album to hit  #1 on the Billboard 200 chart.

beasties and PE are the only ppl on your list that are worthy


flavor didnt rap enough for me to consider them a "group" they are just the vehicle that brought chuck d to the world.

beasties i didnt list just becasue outside of paul revere i NEVER liked them.

i loved de la soul but still...

sugarhill is the prototype for nsync (manufactured group)

lol @ naughtie by nature...i liked them but not GOAT material

EPMD could have made the list befor any of them.

very true. geto boys was also a manufactured group by the way (but they were extremely dope nonetheless).

This. And also De la Soul deserves to be on there before ATCQ, as far as establishing the alternative hip hop scene.
