Who is the Greatest Hip Hop/Rap group of all time? if you cant choose just one then make a list.

Wu Tang Clan.

This isn't even close... Wu Tang by a landslide. They are just awesome.

if you disagree, then it's best to protect ya neck!

Everyone loves the Wu, but as a group their efforts have never been able to top 36 Chambers. I personally choose them, but honestly the Doomtree collective isn't that far behind.

36 Chambers is a classic though, I don't think it can even be topped by anyone honestly. I'd put it in the top 5 rap albums ever, by anyone. Some great solo stuff too, especially Liquid Swords, Tical, and OB4CL

I have to admit I find 36 Chambers kind of meh. I've never understood why people make such a big deal out of it.

In terms of sheer variety and releases, nobody really comes close to the WU.

Other groups that definitely deserve mention are A Tribe Called Quest, Hieroglyphics, Beastie Boys, EPMD & Public Enemy.

I love Wu Tang, but I'm with you on this. It's a classic and their most recognizable songs are on there, but I think if you took Wu Tang Forever and pared it down from a double album to like 10-13 songs, it would blow 36 chambers away easily. I still don't know why they chose to release a double album as their follow up to 36 chambers.
