More often than not I tend to take that L.
Parrish Smith is criminally underrated breh.
Well I was maxin one day just minding my own
Talking to e-double on my car telephone
When I seen this fly girl clocking my means of transportation
The look in her eye was the look of infatuation
So I put my car in park, turned my system down
I said "excuse me, are you new in town"
She said "it's funny you asked I just got here today"
I said "yo, you need a lift because I'm going that way"
She said "my mother always told me not to ride with strangers
If I did, than my life would be in danger"
I said "yeah that's true, but I'm not you're everyday swinger"
To tell you the truth, I'm a well known singer"
Plus I was cold coolin
40 dog in lap
Rings on my fingers and my fisherman hat.
She got in and said "yo I never done this before"
I had to play my cards right to get her foot in the door.
I said yo, my name is Parrish but they call me MD,
For the way I hold mics, and slay MC's
She was lost and replied "your a medical doctor? "
I said "close but no cigar, I'm the microphone doctor
Who performs oral surgery, on mc's who are willing
Except for trying save them, I try to kill them"

Then look at all the careers EPMD birthed. K-Solo, Redman, Das EFX, Keith Murray etc. 
I fukked with Mel and 'em but EPMD came in the game and crushed the buildings. Had Detroit on fire in 87-88...all you heard EVERYWHERE was you got to chill

True, Melle alone a better MC than both of them, with all due respect.

You serious? Lol. Compared to the careers that Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five birthed? Lol. They played a big part in birthing and innovating Hip Hop itself not just artists. But artists too, nearly every artist that came after owes A LOT to them.
Regardless of what happens on a coli poll though. Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five goes down as the iconic group, FARRRRRRRRRRR surpassing EPMD. Like I said though I respect both but Flash and them are straight up legends, pioneers, innovators, better MC's, their best songs are better than any EPMD song significantly, more important, more historical, more timeless. EPMD might have longevity on wax, but Grandmaster Flash And The Furious Five are easily one of the mots historical Hip Hop groups of all time, very arguably the greatest. Probably in my top 5.

No one can't deny what Flash and 'em did. That would just be crazy. If we're talkin' impact, they clearly got it. But I always see the polls as what I'm listening to the most, or have. Who I'm a bigger fan of, that kinda thing.
EPMD might be the only group in Hip Hop history to have 4 straight classic albums. They've been my second favorite group after ATCQ forever. You'd have to sit for a minute and chill, if you were gonna list all of their classic songs. Those two cats had MUSIC!!

EMPD set trends and also bit (PMD bit off of Rakim some imo, or at the very least tried to sound like him)
I was about to roll with them initially based off style alone, but there is nothing in their catalog competing with the message.
