Absolute Venus' Top 50 Hip Hop Groups

Recently, I participated in a Top 50 Hip Hop Groups ranking with several others and I was so dissappointed in the outcome that I decided to publish my own list to show that my choices were vastly different than that final list. Some interesting stats about THAT list were (via @eclectik):

• Wu Tang, Outkast, De La Soul, and Camp Lo were not ranked AT ALL by some
• The Fu Schickens ranked AHEAD of: ATCQ, Run DMC, Public Enemy, Beastie Boys, etc.
• The Lost Boyz got a rank of 3 from someone
• EPMD received a rank of 30
• 2 Live Crew were ranked 7th
• Salt N Pepa Ranked 3rd overall
• Insane Clown Posse and TRU were ranked period

Now for my list...ahhhh, much better! Enjoy!
