    Wu Tang. Raekwon and Ghostface are 2 of my favourite rappers and RZA one of my favourite producers. Love their work as a group and also a lot of their solo work.

    Now you're deviating to solo albums when we are talking about group efforts. Those don't count. Odd Future has no group albums worthy of putting themselves in the GOAT category, none. odd Future Tape 1 +2 and radical just aren't that good.

    This is why Odd Future has always been more of a collective than a legitimate group to me. Their best work is their solo albums not their group compilations; another reason why they shouldn't be spoken of in this thread.

    Ok, I'll concede that as a group entity they don't compare.

    You can have a personal choice it's aight.

    Heck if OF got a mention, I'm sure FBZ and Underachievers can be mentioned also.

    One group that I haven't seen pop up yet is Jurassic 5 surprisingly. And of the current era I haven't seen Pro Era be mentioned either.

    I wouldn't really consider Pro Era a group tho. They're kinda more like a label. They would definitely be up there for me!

    Pro Era have released actual projects though as a group compared to OF or Black Hippy for instance.

    But like they're not all on the same songs ya know? I guess it comes down to what your personal thoughts are. Whether they're a group or not, they're f---ing dope. :jr:

    Not all group members have to be all on the same song. Wu-Tang had songs like CREAM or Clan In Da Front or Method Man where two or even only one emcee had the reigns on the song.
