more than 2 is ok with me.

 

[King Poetic]

Public Enemy

 

[Water Ur Seeds]

Think I'd have to go with NWA...

Huge impact, revolutionised the genre, spawned multiple GOAT solo careers and their music is still dope today...

 

[Tessai]

Eric B and Rakim count?

 

[grYmes]

I’m going with Public Enemy

 

[konceptjones]

And it ain't even close.

 

[Based Dave 96]

Eric B and Rakim count?

yes.

 

[konceptjones]

yes.

Hmmmmmmmm...


If you're including Eric B and Rakim, then I gotta change my answer.

^^^ 100% based on Rakim's undeniable influence and reshaping of the art of MC'ing.

 

[Tessai]

yes.

Then it’s Eric B and Rakim

 

[Water Ur Seeds]

Thought it had to be more than 2 people??? If so EPMD and Eric B & Rakim dont qualify...

i consider them a group even if Eric B. B didnt rap himself...he was the DJ and producer which was imo vital to their success.

Don't forget Tribe & De La Soul. The 80s groupwise is not gonna be an easy decision.
