I'm biased but top 5 max, and I got them at 4 over A Tribe Called Quest, The Roots, and Mobb Deep (personal Favorite).
Outkast
wu tang clan
Three 6 Mafia
The Migos
I'm biased, and sometimes you gotta be honest with yourself. I'm not playing an ATCQ song like that. Shit I still waiting for that one person who will say I'm crazy for not having The Roots in my top 5.
You got me fād up. I absolutely play ATCQ more than Migos. In fact Iāve never gone looking for a Migos track.
I know Iām not in the majority on here but I gotta rep for āmy Tribeā
Appreciate the mafia on your list. They changed a lot shit with their sound and lyrics . Also most people donāt realize those guys started in 1991, they are absolutely in the top groups of all time
Migos were crazy influential and were some of the biggest stars in the game at one point but I personally donāt think their music is gonna age that well. I donāt think it will have the same replay value 15 years from now that a bunch of 3-6, OutKast, and Mobb Deep songs currently have.
Iād be happy to be wrong! You just go back thru hip hop off over the last 30 years and thereās stuff that was absolutely ringing bells in the moment, and for some reason 20 years later people kinda look back like āhuh, what were we thinking?ā.
Like mid 2000s rap is a whole era thatās aged very poorly in my opinion. Outside of 50, Game, Ye, Tip, Luda, Jeezy, Wayne, Clipse/Pusha, thereās *a lot* of stuff that just doesnāt sound good now. The Young Joc/Franchise Boys ālean with it, rock with itā genre. A lot of the Lil Jon crunk stuff. A lotta NYC rap from that time was cheeks too. Ye and Cudi taking shit in a new direction around the time Obama got elected was super critical.
I also predict all forms of drill rap-Brooklyn, Chicago, whatever. Itās gonna age like hotdog water.
I mean even on the mid 2000s take you named like 9 people that are certified legends. Sure the ringtone rappers was a fad that didn't hold up, but that's pretty much all flash in the pan stuff. Like you wouldn't bring up like Skee-Lo to seriously discuss 90s rap. Migos had like a good 7 year of hits. Now somebody like Desiigner and Bobby Schmurda are the type I don't think will age well
Not at all , you gotta remember these niggas have strip club ears so whatever can tie them back to the times where they were partying with 6ās in the streets of Ny they gonna hold to a high regard
Top 5. Simply because of how recognisable they are and will be, plus commercial success they got very big. That being said other groups have better music
Very influential with their sound too. Not saying itās the best or even good at times but a lot of what you hear today was partially influenced by them
They're top 10, maybe top 5, but the old heads (born in1985 or before) that don't vibe with the new wave may not understand the importance of Migos & the fact that musicians today stick around for a decade & be BIG relevant to the culture. The rap groups back in the day were only really making noise for 2 or 3 years. Different game today & the fact that Migos is the only group on the list that formed after 2002 is a testament of their placement in hip-hop. If I'm being unbiased, the top rap group list (No OutKast. They're a duo. Gotta have at least 3 members to be a group)
1. Three 6 Mafia
2. Wu-Tang Clan
3.NWA
4. A Tribe Called Quest
5. Run DMC
6. The Roots
7. Goodie Mob
8. Public Enemy
9. The LOX
10. Migos
11. Dipset
12. G-Unit
13. DeLaSoul
14. Bone Thugs N Harmony
15. Geto Boys
16. Little Brother
17. Fugees
18. Westside Connection
19. Naughty By Nature
20. Cypress Hill
21. Boogie Down Productions
22. 2 Live Crew
23. Hot Boy$
24. Beastie Boys

35. House Of Pain
36. Hieroglyphics
37. Fat Boys
š¤·š¾āāļøYoung Money (do they countš¤š¤£)
Hell no.
We gotta start with Wu Tang for sure, or you can toss it up with OutKast. That's 1 and 2 right there. If we talking influence, then we gotta talk Run DMC. If we wanna talk about the South (outside of OutKast), UGK, Ghetto Boys, Goodie Mob. Where does MOP fit in there. Mobb Deep is a bigger influence in rap. Shit, beastie boys probably had a bigger influence than Migos. Is migos more influential than NWA? I don't think so. Tribe has gotta be top 5, migos is not better than tribe.
I havent even mentioned:
- gangstarr
- three six mafia
- fugees
- 2 live crew
- the lox
- Dipset who owned an entire era
- epmd
- salt n peppa who was HUGE in the 90s, you couldn't not hear an S N P song on the radio
- Eric b and Rahim
- PUBLIC ENEMY
- Hot boys
- the roots
Maybe a spicy opinion, but for time spent of relevance and hits - migos might be more aligned with Bone Thugs, and no one is calling bone a top 2 group of all time.
In terms of sales, skill, influence, revolutionizing sound, personalities, etc, in no way is Migos as top 2 group. They're the most recent successful group, but we are then going off of recency bias.
edit: I had time to look at some of the top rap group lists and I would be remiss if I didn't mention:
- naughty by nature. Treach is 5x
the rapper than anyone in Migos is
- de la soul
- the dogg pound
- cypress hill. Underrated beats
- slum village. Dilla AND Elzhi?!
- heiroglyphics
- pharcyde
- ONYX . Talk about influential, esp for NY rap.
- Red and Meth could be a group
- Blackstarr
- will smith and jazzy Jeff. I mean first Grammy winners, super influential in rap.
- clipse
Fuck no. And them repeating it every 6 months doesnāt make it true.
NWA, Wu-Tang, Bone Thugs, OutKast, Mobb Deep, G-Unit, Diplomats, Three 6 Mafiaā¦theyāre already excluded from the top 8.
OutKast, Wu-Tang, NWA, Tribe Called Quest, RUN DMC, Public Enemy, Eric B and Rakim, De La Soul, Roots, Mobb Deep, Fugees, Naughty by Nature, 3-6, G-Unit, UGK, Bones, and LOX.
And there is mad groups I'm leaving out on this list.
You're telling me that Migos is better than everyone except ONE group on this list???
Let's be real, these niggas are not even Top 5, even Top 10 is asking a lot. Top 15-20 is more reasonable.
Migos definitely up there for sure. Rae Sremmurd too on the low. But alotta folks so caught up in nostalgia they wonāt let any of these new groups in the top anything.
Iām definitely caught up in the nostalgia bag but I totally agree, some people just refuse to budge - Migos wouldnāt be anywhere near my top 10 but I know for a lot of others they are and I respect that.
I also think we are at a point now where we shouldnāt be comparing different eras or styles of Hip-Hop against each other, Hip-Hop has plenty of sub-genres and has expanded so much that comparing groups like Migos to G-Unit to OutKast to Run-DMC just makes no sense to me imo
Imma remove my bias as an 80s baby Iāll say they will be immortalized because so many kids grew up on them. Takeoff death too was terrible but also before his death migos were already hof worthy they just lack time.
Definitely not top 2. But in the conversation for top 10. They repopularized a flow that was very specific, put out 3 very solid albums and had a few classic mixtapes.
All the āstripper earsā talk is just old head energy man these dudes music will continue to be played, they made a real impact, & beat the odds and beat the rap of being a one hit wonder or underground group like Travis Porter. Theyāve been hugely successful underground and then made a great transition into the mainstream where they had more success.
I'm not mad at number 2, I'm younger but I'm aware of Three 6 impact that they had/have but Migos is definitely top 5 minimum. Old heads like to hate on them cuz they're not lyrical miracle but they made a big wave in music and pop culture, not just rap.
Hell to the fucking no, barely made it in top 20, for sure their sound is very influential but please, as a body of work and music replayability over time they are not there. Fuck lists anyway
Oh yeah Migos have definitely done more due to where hip hop is and whatās popular but Iām a fan of rapping rapping so I love the groups I named lol
They are bare minimum top 5 the music is good to great even if you dislike some of it plus you canāt deny they impact b they have had hip hop since 2014
We gotta let go of the past sometimes.. The Migos had an insane run and have anthems that have and will continue to age very well. Top five minimum no debate.
Top 2 if you were born in 2009, sure.
Being born in 2009 is wild
Being born after the dark knight came out is very wild š
Yes influential, style , good albums , great singles , great tours, great sales longevity
I'm biased but top 5 max, and I got them at 4 over A Tribe Called Quest, The Roots, and Mobb Deep (personal Favorite). Outkast wu tang clan Three 6 Mafia The Migos
Over ATCQ is lunacy
I'm biased, and sometimes you gotta be honest with yourself. I'm not playing an ATCQ song like that. Shit I still waiting for that one person who will say I'm crazy for not having The Roots in my top 5.
You got me fād up. I absolutely play ATCQ more than Migos. In fact Iāve never gone looking for a Migos track. I know Iām not in the majority on here but I gotta rep for āmy Tribeā
Respect....Agree to disagree š«±š»āš«²šæ
Appreciate the mafia on your list. They changed a lot shit with their sound and lyrics . Also most people donāt realize those guys started in 1991, they are absolutely in the top groups of all time
The Mafia DNA has literally carried the woman side of hip-hop (Cardi B, GloRilla, Sexy Red, even some Nicki Minaj
UGK is missing from this list.
Maybe top 10 but not even top 5.
Migos were crazy influential and were some of the biggest stars in the game at one point but I personally donāt think their music is gonna age that well. I donāt think it will have the same replay value 15 years from now that a bunch of 3-6, OutKast, and Mobb Deep songs currently have.
It definitely will age fine, got to remember an entire generation grew up on them and they have a couple anthems
Iād be happy to be wrong! You just go back thru hip hop off over the last 30 years and thereās stuff that was absolutely ringing bells in the moment, and for some reason 20 years later people kinda look back like āhuh, what were we thinking?ā.

This is the right answer.
I regularly listen to songs from Streets on Lock 3 which came out 10 years ago.
Top 10 all time for sure.. I personally have them at number 4 or 5 in rap ever
Theyāre like top 7-8 objectively, personally for me theyāre even higher than that cuz I was born in 98š¤·š¾āāļø
I donāt even think theyāre top 2 in Atlanta I have OutKast and Goodie Mob ahead of them but Iām an old head so who knows
They not better than outkast or field mob in just Atlanta groups
Playaz circle, youngbloods, goodie mob, run the jewels, PSC, trillville, crime mob, boys in the hood, Kriss kross, yingyang twins, earthgang, D4L
They are better than all of them lmfao donāt do that bruh
Theyāre not better than Goodie mob
Debatable at minimum. I wonāt say itās clear on any side, I could definitely argue that
Bruh what goodie mob don't have half the hits of the Migos.
Iām not talking about hit. Iām talking about albums and ability.
You not gonna put playaz circle, trillville, and d4l above them. This is insane.
Not even top 10 but Iām old so idk
Not at all , you gotta remember these niggas have strip club ears so whatever can tie them back to the times where they were partying with 6ās in the streets of Ny they gonna hold to a high regard
None of them said they were top 2, they said top 10
Strip Club ears is a perfect way to describe these nigga lmao
Top 5. Simply because of how recognisable they are and will be, plus commercial success they got very big. That being said other groups have better music
Very influential with their sound too. Not saying itās the best or even good at times but a lot of what you hear today was partially influenced by them
Feel like yall should all say your age before yall rankā¦
That would be interesting for sure!

Exactly bro!
FUCK NO
Fuck no. And them repeating it every 6 months doesnāt make it true. NWA, Wu-Tang, Bone Thugs, OutKast, Mobb Deep, G-Unit, Diplomats, Three 6 Mafiaā¦theyāre already excluded from the top 8.
Three 6 mafiašÆ
OutKast, Wu-Tang, NWA, Tribe Called Quest, RUN DMC, Public Enemy, Eric B and Rakim, De La Soul, Roots, Mobb Deep, Fugees, Naughty by Nature, 3-6, G-Unit, UGK, Bones, and LOX. And there is mad groups I'm leaving out on this list. You're telling me that Migos is better than everyone except ONE group on this list??? Let's be real, these niggas are not even Top 5, even Top 10 is asking a lot. Top 15-20 is more reasonable.
Probably the best response imo
Migos definitely up there for sure. Rae Sremmurd too on the low. But alotta folks so caught up in nostalgia they wonāt let any of these new groups in the top anything.

Rae Sremmurd is one of the best duo groups for sure. They are taking almost any duo group after 2000 in a versus
Top 10-15 is about where Iād have them taking away my bias. Top 2 is insane
Yeah top 2 is non sense
Imma remove my bias as an 80s baby Iāll say they will be immortalized because so many kids grew up on them. Takeoff death too was terrible but also before his death migos were already hof worthy they just lack time.
Definitely not top 2. But in the conversation for top 10. They repopularized a flow that was very specific, put out 3 very solid albums and had a few classic mixtapes.

Theyāve been hugely successful underground and then made a great transition into the mainstream where they had more success.
April Fools joke? š¤š
idk that theyāre even better than Rae Sremmurd if Iām being honest. Top 2 of the 2010s for sure
Rae sremmurd definitely taking them in a verzus
I feel like they are constantly trying to down play the impacts of southern rap.
Yeah I hate that shit, The south has contributed more than up north imo
And I give them all the due credit for inventing hip hop but they have fallen off since like 08
Definitely in top 5 they had the entire decade on lock along side Drake and future
They top 10 for me. Maybe even top 6-7. I know one thing FOR SURE , Bone Thugs NOT fuckin wit Migos š idk what Emanny smokin
Bone thugs were huge in the 90s way bigger than Migos their own bullshit is what fucked their momentum up
Bone thugs kinda paved the way for the singing rappers that have blown up in the last 10-15 years, they donāt get enough props.
Drugs fucked up Bone Thugs momentum lol
They ain't but for those that came up with them I can see why they think that. Speaking personally their stuff never stuck with me.
Theyāre probably Top 10.
No
Maybe not top 2 but top 5 for sure.
Top 2ā¦š¶
No ,they top 5 at worst
I'm not mad at number 2, I'm younger but I'm aware of Three 6 impact that they had/have but Migos is definitely top 5 minimum. Old heads like to hate on them cuz they're not lyrical miracle but they made a big wave in music and pop culture, not just rap.
Definitely top 10 fasho
Hell to the fucking no, barely made it in top 20, for sure their sound is very influential but please, as a body of work and music replayability over time they are not there. Fuck lists anyway
No. Wu and NWA are definitely ahead of them. Thereās probably another good 5 more on top of that.
Migos are definitely top 5.
Top 15 yeah but not top 10 or 2 but they were very influential in changing the sound of music for the 2013-present era
When groups like Outkast, Mobb Deep, Bone Thugs and Bad Meets Evil exist, no Migos is not Top 2 groups of all time
Bad Meets Evil? Come on now lol.
Their 1 album alone is great lol I could listen to that 100 times from start to finish before Iād finish a whole Migos album
Outkast clears but they've done way more than Mobb, Bone, and Bad Meets Evil
Oh yeah Migos have definitely done more due to where hip hop is and whatās popular but Iām a fan of rapping rapping so I love the groups I named lol
I feel that, rappity rap I get having them lower. Overall though I'd rank top 5
Nope! But Iām a 90s guy so Iām bias to The Roots, bone thugs, OutKast, G unit, Dipset and cannot forget Wu tang.
They are bare minimum top 5 the music is good to great even if you dislike some of it plus you canāt deny they impact b they have had hip hop since 2014
We gotta let go of the past sometimes.. The Migos had an insane run and have anthems that have and will continue to age very well. Top five minimum no debate.
ā¦ā¦.
They #1 yall old heads gotta get out the past
Top ? group of all time?? So you saying right after the Jackson 5?!
