Wu-Tang has a nice run in the mid-90s but have since faded to oblivion
Mobb Deep has one classic under their belt.
The only NWA album I really enjoy is Niggaz4Life
It seems we're the only ones in agreement. People tend to underestimate Outkast's influence on the southern rap scene.

Give me the Dungeon Family in their prime, and I need not buy another hip-hop CD again.

the most brilliant thing is - no two Outkast albums sound EXACTLY alike.

yeah...Quality Control was dope summer of 2000, but to say they're better than any of those 3? That's quite a heavy statement.

I really don't think Wu Tang has faded in to oblivion. Look at GZA or Ghost's solo career.

Well said. Anyone who has listened to GZA's Pro Tools, which came out recently, can't say that the individual members of the group aren't still putting out good stuff. The long awaited follow-up to Cuban Linx will probably revitalize Raekwon's career.

The (aforemontioned) best hip hop group you've never heard of. Beautifully weird.

The Coasters

 

[AntiHero84]

Heiroglyphics

 

[ryoneo]

Wu-Tang by far.... some of the greatest collective artists at the time.
