“Finding the GOAT Group,” the fourth installment of Ambrosia For Heads’ annual competition series features Hip-Hop’s greatest collectives vying for the #1 spot. Sixty-two groups have been pre-selected by a panel of experts, and one slot will be reserved for a wild-card entry (which has been determined), including the possibility for write-in candidates, to ensure no deserving band of MCs and DJs is neglected. The 2018 contest consists of seven rounds, NCAA basketball-tournament style, leading to a Top 32, then the Sweet 16 and so on, until one winner is determined. For each match-up, two groups are pitted against one another with a ballot to decide which one advances to the next round. Though there will be an enormous amount of debate in comments, on social media, in barbershops and text messages, which we encourage, only votes cast in the official ballot count.

Tuesday’s (August 14) match-up between Mobb Deep and N.W.A. is too close to call. Today (August 16), the results have been as close as within 10 votes. We need your help to make a final, game-changing decision. On Friday at 3pm EST (August 17), this poll will close. Make sure you have voted your choice to decide which legendary Gangsta Rap group reaches the Elite 8.
