Wu-Tang Clan vs. Dreamville: The Greatest Rap Crew Competition

May 01, 2023 , , , , , ,

In recognition of Hip-Hop’s 50th anniversary, BET Digital, in partnership with Ambrosia For Heads, is celebrating the culture by hosting a bracket-style competition that allows you to determine Hip-Hop’s greatest crew.

Rather than having “experts” tell you who is the greatest of all-time, this is your opportunity to collectively make that decision. After giving the opportunity to any and all fans to provide feedback on which crews should be included, 32 collectives from different regions, styles, and generations have been selected—all vying for that #1 spot. When the final battle is over and the last vote is cast, you will have determined who is your Greatest Rap Crew of All Time. The voting starts with eight crews from the East Coast, which were selected with your feedback.

One of the four East Coast battles is Bad Boy vs. Ruff Ryders.

BAD BOY VS. RUFF RYDERS

By the late 1990s, the Ruff Ryders and Bad Boy worked together—as two New York City movements with incredibly talented and diverse crews. In the middle of the decade, Biggie Smalls became one of the most talented and beloved rappers ever to touch a microphone. After B.I.G’s passing, DMX emerged with a raw intensity, grit, and soulful relatability that made for a new rap idol. Beyond their superstars, both Bad Bad and Ruff Ryders have successfully introduced and branded a handful of artists.

As three stalwarts of the Double-R crew, the LOX were also an integral part of Bad Boy during a transition. DMX leveraged feature appearances on The LOX debut and Ma$e albums to build momentum ahead of his five consecutive #1’s. These crews proved that steel sharpens steel, even into the 2010s, when X became a headliner on the Bad Boy Reunion Tour. While these rivals have broken bread together and uplifted one another, they must do battle in a Round 1 East Coast clash.

Go to BET.com to vote on which of these crews you believe should advance to the next round, and to learn of the other East Coast crews that are battling in this round. You can also vote on Twitter and Instagram, using the hashtag #BETGreatestRapCrew and a hashtag with your favorite crew.

One of the four East Coast battles is Roc-A-Fella vs. G-Unit.

ROC-A-FELLA VS. G-UNIT

Roc-A-Fella and G-Unit were dominant forces of the early 2000s whose impact remains today. Under the superstardom of JAY-Z and 50 Cent were teams of hungry artists in the wings. In both cases, these included figures from these artists’ past, but also quickly expanded to talented creatives from around the country and veterans who seamlessly fit into the movement.

Both Roc and G-Unit meant something far more than a crew name. Each became an attitude, an aesthetic, and a way of life. At times, these ideologies clashed competitively. In other moments, members from these crews came together for powerful results. In 2007, Jay hopped on 50’s “I Get Money” remix, while Lloyd Banks and Juelz Santana came together for a car-inspired hit in “Beamer, Benz, Or Bentley.” The Roc Boys face off against G-Unit in a Round 1 clash celebrating two heavy reigns.

One of the four East Coast battles is Native Tongues vs. The Juice Crew.

NATIVE TONGUES VS. THE JUICE CREW

Two of New York City’s most talented and colorful collectives are The Native Tongues and The Juice Crew. The two crews were fueled, in part, by a competitive rivalry between legendary NYC radio personalities. The Juice Crew were close associates of WBLS-FM radio mainstays Mr. Magic and Marley Marl. Magic and Marley’s rival at KISS-FM, DJ Red Alert, was a mentor to The Jungle Brothers, who helped ignite the Native Tongues.

Despite a radio rivalry, these two crews coexisted with respect. Biz Markie would collaborate and tour with De La Soul, while Q-Tip and Busta Rhymes would appear together on a Big Daddy Kane single. Both crews promoted Black pride, self-love, and excellence at one’s craft. However, after this exciting East Coast Region Round 1 matchup, only one legendary crew can remain.

WU-TANG CLAN VS. DREAMVILLE

Roughly a quarter-century apart, Wu-Tang Clan and Dreamville each found success without conforming to convention. Both of these crews came from unlikely places—New York City’s overlooked borough of Staten Island and Fayetteville, North Carolina. From there, these squads assembled talent from other places to become forces to be reckoned with. In recent years, the respect has been there—JID has collaborated with Method Man, while J. Cole’s production has sampled Wu.
