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. After the semifinal victors were announced, voters finally get to decide the winner of this tournament.

WU-TANG CLAN VS. DEATH ROW FAMILY

The championship matchup is between two crews with roots in the 1980s, towering growth in the early 1990s, and everlasting impact since. From their logos, to music, to the videos, Wu-Tang Clan and the Death Row Family are two of the most recognized brands in all of Hip-Hop. Players on both squads remain all-stars over 30 years after their 1992 genesises. Like so many faceoffs in this tournament, these two crews have history. There were reports in several books on Death Row—including Ronin Ro’s Have Gun Will Travel that Suge Knight unsuccessfully attempted to bring the burgeoning Wu to Death Row in the mid-1990s. By 1996, Method Man joined Tupac and Tha Dogg Pound on “Got My Mind Made Up” from the diamond-certified All Eyez On Me. However, that song—also featuring Redman—omitted a recorded verse from Inspectah Deck. While the Death Row squad was the commercial juggernaut out of the gate in the early 1990s, Wu-Tang eventually found sales and mainstream recognition to match their critical acclaim and certified Hip-Hop approval. Members from these crews continued to work together on an onslaught of collaborations, with Kurupt even forming a group with Killah Priest, along with Canibus and Ras Kass. Tha Dogg Pound MC also deliberately announced that Wu-Tang was family during a diss track aimed at other prominent East Coast crews. Then, in the mid-2000s, Raekwon signed with Dr. Dre (at Aftermath) to begin work on what eventually became his lauded Only Built 4 Cuban Linx…Vol. II album. Each of these squads has endured losses, including the passing of core figures like ‘Pac and O.D.B. To get to this round, Wu-Tang bested four amazing crews in Dreamville, Juice Crew, Ruff Ryders, and G.O.O.D. Music crews, in that order. For Death Row, they defeated the Hieroglyphics crew, N.W.A. & The Posse, TDE, and YMCMB to reach this top stage. The love between the DR family and the W is real, and lasting—long after any awkwardness in the past. Will Wu-Tang bring the ruckus, or will Death Row remain untouchable?
