    I mean that can describe so many Artists but Bone Thugs were about before most so that's the other thing they influenced all these Artists that have those qualies cos Bone Thugs been around since forever really


    You just did not strike me as a Bone Thugs type dude


    When i think of your taste i think of people like Slaughterhouse, Cannibus, Cory Gunz, Immortal Tech, J Cole etc basically very Back Pack simple Music not based on Substance or Emotion or great Beats but just random Rapping over bland Beats



    But Bone Thugs to me anyway are legends and i say that with out them even being my fave group

    Man is this really close? Wu by a long shot in practically every category and that is in no disrespect to the other groups.

    Impact- their impact is still felt today, mostly in Europe tough, RZA's influence on Kanye and many more, the merchandizing of Wu led to the Rocawears, Sean Johns
    Music- their catalogue speaks for itself; the string of classics under their belt is unmatched. They still dropping dope,near classic albums even though times might have moved on
    Longevity- they still really doing it.
    Content: Wu dropped that street conscious, pro-black, philosophy/spirituality and raw hiphop; the other groups had good content as well but the Wu did all that balanced with that street edge so they get my vote on that. Grammies and awards dont mean much to me.
