NWA one of the most, if not the most influential but just didn't put enough material out.

The Roots as a unit have the best consistency for me.

Outkast are the innovators and entertainers.

Public Enemy are simply brilliant.

Honourable mentions to A Tribe Called Quest, Run DMC and Slum Village but Wu Tang are the greatest for me.
