2Live Crew invented a genre that dominated the club scene for 10 years, and were a household name. How many non rap fans even know who the Migos are?

The Lox are legends because of the combination of albums/features/mixtapes. How many classic songs have the Migos been on? 3-4. The Lox has been on 15-20 all time tracks.

At second look, Naughty is comparable to Migos in terms of being at the forefront of the game for a bit. It's hard to compare eras in terms of groups because there are no groups now, so you have to look at them lumped in with individual artists.

Hw can you disrespect naughty like dat

You can say whatever you want but in terms of influence over their genre, they're up there. Their flow and the way they use adlibs has been copied again and again and again by ALL the rappers, even outside of the trap sphere. They tainted the rap world like soup taints a white shirt.

They're successful and they get props for that but they are no where near the top 30 of hip-hop groups much less Black music in general.

You can't be in the top 10 of musical groups if you don't play instruments. The music playing is as important as the singing, maybe more.

A ranking singing band will be more accurate.
OP said top "groups", not top "musicians". you're mixed up here.
