their legacy well they were a precur to the west coast sound where Roger Troutman is concearned and that alone makes them lethal as they had there own bag 1)

they were better and more important than Tribe, however too black and remember No Cross over they came along right before cross over was king in Hip Hop. a bit too black, however for the Hood they deserve a documentary. 2)

as far as groups go they gotta be in the top 8 easily IMO. 3)

E Sermon is a top Producer of Hip Hop and for all the love timberland gets he couldn't hold the Green Eye Bandit's eye drops, real talk. Sermon is a top ten Hip Hop Producer IMO and better than Kayne as well. 4)

i dig the fact that they always could re invent themselves and yet keep it all rooted in what they did and they also evolved and brought in others. they were Outkast without the fanfare, had the groove, flow and vibe and own idenity. you always knew them cats. 5)
