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