Is there a better Rap Group than the Roots?

[King Crimson]

Look at their resume and I dare you to find me a group that has a better discography. I dare you. I don't even care.

 

[bl2k8]

Kast

 

[KeysT]

Wu?..

 

[Hammer]

outkast, wu-tang, mobb deep, clipse

 

[King Crimson]

Maybe 'Kast and MOBB. Idk about Wu and Clipse though.

 

[Awesome Wells]

Currently, no.

After 1990, I'd say only EPMD, De La Soul, Outkast and ATCQ. That's it.

 

[Pink Slime]

nikka said eclipse n mobb sleep


Maybe de la

 

[King Crimson]

I forgot all about De La, honestly. Good one. Here jamming to my Roots playlist on Spotify got me at 3:30 in the morning.

no. the consistency, cohesiveness, and longevity nobody else can compete with. the fact that they can do their own thing and always come back and enjoy playing with each other unselfishly makes them the GOAT's of the groups IMO. Plus they're the only rap group in history on a night show. getting those Fallon checks.

 

[A.J.Soprano]

the roots aren't a rap group, its just the solo act of Black thought with a live band, that occasionally features other rappers here n there (earlier albums)

 

[Awesome Wells]

I just had DYWM on earlier. The Roots are no fukkin' joke! I copped that album the first day it dropped, off the strength of "Distortion". Their second, third and fourth albums are untouchable!

Thats still a group..

when other n1ggas don't rap it ain't a rap group, if ?uestlove could spit a hot 16 then it would be a rap group. Eric B and Rakim were not a rap group



therefore it can only be called a group or a solo act with a band



not a rap group

 

[Anti-Anime]

I don't think any other group has as many great albums as the Roots have.

Do You Want More?!!!??! - good
Illadelph - classic
Things Fall Apart - classic
Phrenology - great
The Tipping Point - good
Game Theory - classic
Rising Down - great
How I Got Over - great
Undun - future classic

Hard to beat, isn't it?
