They're pioneers but I feel that other groups have passed them since the 80's

Nope

I'm basing it off my top 5.

Niggas don't know what metric they wanna use in these threads. One thread they want you to be objective, the next subjective.

 

[🌊City]

Without question

Had to check the polls again and run leading. Good.

In Reggae, there's Bob Marley and then there's everybody else.

During the mid 80s Run DMC was to Hip Hop what Bob Marley was to Reggae. Run DMC was one of the few groups to drop an album in 84, 85, and 86 (The Fat Boys are the only other group I can think of)

They were also the only Hip Hop artist to get heavy rotation on MTV.

While Grandmaster Flash and the Furious 5 came first, they broke up at their peak. Also, the Furious 5 dressed like punk rockers which kinda threw us off. We didn't want to be like the Furious 5, we wanted to be like Run DMC.

Also, Run DMC was the first group to drop a 5 mic classic with their self titled album.

Having said all of that, I'm voting yes, even though deep down inside there's probably 5 groups I'd rsther listen to.

I'd rate The Last Poets and the Furious 5 over Run DMC but since they have no chance on ABW I'll vote for Run DMC.

Public Enemy was better... Run DMC fell off after that Tougher Than Leather album...Russell Simmons said that Public Enemy was is the most important group to Def Jam Records success

It's simple, Votes have 4 top 5 already...without Outkast so by default there is no space for RUN DMC

It should be next step with the groups that was voted top 5.

 

[Goldie]

It's looking like we're gonna have to do that, but if niggas didn't have 15 groups in their top 5 we wouldn't have to.

 

[Goldie]

Every group can't be top 5

 

[Dwayne]

Every group can't be top 5

My way is much more solid.

 

[5th Letter]

I assumed that we were voting based on which groups were top 5 worthy?
