Yes. The Infamous, Hell On Earth, Murda Muzik. They are top 10. Maybe number 10 but I'm not making a list.
+ HNIC & Return of The Mac.

Mobb Deep is the epitome of hiphop. I don't understand why they're not universally loved, probably because they don't have the hipster sensitivities of the Wu or Kast or commercial success.

Agree 100%. I left out HNIC & Return of the Mac simply because that makes it clearly lopsided (aside from those two being solos, but we won't get technical). It's fine to say you don't like em but for someone to say they aren't top 10 is blasphemy.

Things have changed... a lot of people who hold opinion these days aren't old enough to have one on certain topics. A lot of people on these forums were only old enough to start listening to hip-hop in their own zone by the time Infamy came out... so their opinion would obviously be flawed.

Yes, along with: Three 6 Mafia, Outkast, EPMD, Slum Village, BDP, Naughty by Nature, ATCQ, NWA, Wu.

Honorable mention: Cypress Hill

You could also replace any of those with the Roots, RUN DMC, Eric B. & Rakim, Gangstarr, Clipse, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, De La or Public Enemy as well.

ICP has more platinum albums than mobb sleep without any help from MTV or the radio.

Great music doesn't need a machine behind it to sell.

ICP also makes a lot more money off their music doing it indy style.
ICP is a joke.

top 10 east coast rap group? Yeah

Top 10 overall? Nah, too regional..

pac,jay,em(8 MILE), and lil kim(quiet storm remix) are the reason why the majority of people know about them outside of the east
There isn't ten groups better than Mobb Deep
