Who do you think it is? I've always thought the beastie boys. I know they have sold the most records, but I did some digging on Morpheus and found some by 3rd Bass, "Gas Face" and "Pop goes the weasel". Listening to them made me realize how good they were. Who is everyone elses choice?

Is there even a comparison? The Beastie Boys have been around for well over 10 years!

The only other one I would add to that, though, would be House of Pain.

Who is Tony D and Icy Hot Stuntaz?

Added House of Pain. Never really considered them rap, but they don't really fit anywhere else...


Ohh Danny boy, the pipes the pipes are calling...

from glen to glen and down the mountainside...

Well, I like P.O.D. and Korn way better than anything mentioned herein. But they probably don't "count" because they can do more than rap.

"Sorry Ladies. As of today we are not opening any packages sent to us with your articles of underpants etc. We cannot tell the different from dust and crust on your undergarments. Due to the fact that both probably contain hazardous bacteria we are now sending back all packages addressed to us unless its my p.o. officer, my hitmen that mail me from all over the country, or our mothers. Thanks for your understanding. "

Korn is good, but I would classify them as punk/industrial

Beastie Boys have been 'round for ~20yrs.

Korn, bizkit, (basically any band that has the rap/metal mix) is usually defined as "nu metal" although some people call it "rapcore." And in 10yrs we'll all make fun of them the same way we make fun of Poison today. To Korn's credit though, they boot strapped on their first album. No/little radio air play but they still managed to get a huge following behind that album. Their genre became Mtv's b|tch and they (and bizkit) became Mtv's poster boys for acceptable pop rebellion.

Rage Against the Machine owns Korn's and POD's asses.

edit:

NeuroSynapsis:

There are plenty of other rap artists who rap, rhyme and tell a story.
