This site will have a lot of lists; Top 10, Top 25, Top 50 etc. revolving around Hip Hop this particular list will be the Top 50 Hip Hop Groups of all time

It was real easy for me to come up with a top 50, and I was tempted to do that and post them but I figured it would be a good experiment to solicit other opinions and compare them to mine, what Hip Hop groups do people consider great?
I decided to open the question to a few of my friends whose Hip Hop opinions I trusted, and then to their friends … this all came with some eye opening results!

This is how it was done, each person ranked their personal 50 Hip Hop Groups
Those who weren’t able to rank a full 50 (lames) did their best
The lists were compiled and averaged out, meaning the group got their ranks added together and divided by the number of participants
If a group was ranked by one person but not by another, that group received a 51 for not being ranked and that number went into the average to make things fair
