Public Enemy, 3rd Bass and RUN DMC were 2 guys. I'd consider them more of a duet. But you are entitled to your own opinion. And thanks for your input.

PS.
I should have 3rd Bass in my top 10 best rap duets ever. Sorry bout that, I forgot about them. And on my final note, the best thing about third Bass was that they made fun of Vanilla Ice so much.

Sorry bout that, wrong Idea lol.

1.I can understand why you think Wu-Tang should be ahead of the Beasties. But personally I think the Beasties are a better rap group. Just look at who has been together longer.

2.You are right about Outkast they, were a good rap duet and I honestly can't believe I forgot about them. So I guess I'll but them in the #8 slot for top 10 best rap duets of all time and move the Luniz down to 10.

3.Eazy E in my opinion was so much better then Ice Cube. Don't forget that Eazy was the foundation of NWA. And I highly doubt Eazy would ever throw the rap game away for acting like Ice Cube has basically done since the movie Friday was made.

4.Loren Hill isn't in the top 10 for greatest female rappers of all time, because I honestly consider her to be more of an R&B singer.

5.Canibus over LL, come on haven't you ever heard the song "Rock The Bells"?

6.Notice I said early Puff Daddy as in his very first album not late Puff Daddy or P. Diddy as in his last couple of albums. Puffy was good on his first album, but after that he went down the tubes.

And obvously our opinions differ on the rest of the rappers so I'm not going to argue with you there. But thank you for your comments.

I disagree. Public Enemy also had Temanator x and the members of the Bomb Squad. Also, Run-DMC counted Jam Master Jay as an official member. So much so, that Run officially dismantled the group after his passing. With 3rd Bass, don't forget DJ Daddy Rich.

No way the beasties are better than wu-tang clan.Ice Cube was by far better than eazy-e ice and dre were the two biggest contributers too the crew (ice wrote and dre produced).And I must say ll is way way overrated im not saying canibus is top 10 but he def top 20 and ll is in the mid-30s on my list of 100 best.Canibus vocabulary exceds ll by miles.

"Arguably the most important and politically controversial group of its time, Public Enemy introduced a hard, intense, hip-hop sound and vocal delivery that changed the course of rap and influenced a generation of artists."

See how there bio from Rollingstone magazine calls P.E. a group? They have ALWAYS been considered a rap group.

http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/publicene...

Same goes for RUN-DMC.

"More than any other hip-hop group, Run-D.M.C....etc."

http://www.starpulse.com/Music/Run_DMC/Biogra...

3rd Bass has also ALWAYS been referred to as a group.

"3rd Bass was an American hip-hop group...etc."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3rd_Bass

As for putting Marky Mark on your list as the tenth greatest M.C. of all time? You're completely out of your mind!

DJs are part of a rap group too. Also, Jam Master Jay rapped on later Run-DMC albums. 3rd bass , Public Enemy and Run-DMC are ALL rap groups. This is pointless to argue. I showed you the proof. You're insane!

Chuck D called Run-DMC the greatest rap group of all time! If Chuck D says they're a group, then they're a group. Chuck D practically invented modern rap. His opinion counts for more than yours.

Well, your list aren't really that bad. But you still deserve some criticism:
1.2 Pac and Bigge are by far the 2 greatest MC's to ever live no one ever had and never will compare to their rapping talents.

2.I would not put UGK in the top to greatest duels of all time and I defenitally would not put Mobb Deep above Outkast or Eric B and Rakim.

3.For female MC's you gotta have Silk-E-Fyne in the mix. I don't care how many albums she made, considering the fact that she has made more albums then allot of your top 10 female MC's.

4.As far as bad rappers go, I'm not going to argue with you on Puff Daddy. Soldja Boy & Hurricane Chris are pretty bad, but Chingy is a good rapper. And I cannot believe you calling Silkk Tha Shocker a bad rapper since Mystikal and Fiend are far worst. And I can't believe you don't have Ron Artest or big Shaq in you top 10 worst rappers of all time (since they are athletes who clearly cannot rap, well I guess Shaq can rap when he makes fun of either Kobe or Vladi lol).+ Fu Schnickers and Lord Toriq and Peter Gunz wrote all of Shaq's songs anyways.

PS.
If you don't consider the 1985 Chicago, Bears or the 1985 New England, Patriots to be rappers (since all they both had was the super bowl shuffle) then I guess you could throw in this order Soulja Boy and Hurricane Chris in my top 10 at numbers 9 & 10.
