On Monday (July 31), the Georgia native joined Way Up With Angela Yee for a chat, during which he discussed the influence of the now defunct trio. While expressing his appreciation for his former group being featured on Billboard‘s “50 Best Rap Groups” list, he also said that they should’ve been ranked higher than No. 11.
“It depend on how people lookin’ at it,” he explained. “If you talkin’ bout culturally change the sound of music, ’cause then we went past Hip Hop and we went to country and all the different genres … I just feel like we could’ve got Top 5.”
Watch the “Red Room” hitmaker discuss Migos at the beginning of the interview below:
Though Offset does believe that his group belonged higher up on the list, he took no issue with his fellow Southern MCs bagging first place, saying: “I agree with OutKast being No. 1.”
In the same spirit, Rakim recently shared that he had no problem with the Atlanta duo being placed six notches above Eric B. & Rakim on the Billboard list.
The rankings were released in late June, causing heated debates within the Hip Hop community. TMZ caught up with The God MC while he was out in New York a few days after the article was published and got his reaction to both being ranked at No. 7 and being behind André 3000 and Big Boi.
“Nah mean, I’m always gonna say I shoulda been higher, but it’s a blessing to be recognized and it’s a good time to be recognized as well,” Rakim said. “It’s not really my place to say who else deserves or not, but OutKast pushed the envelope, a group that a lot of people got love for. So, you know we have to give the flowers to who earns them.”
Filling in the six notches between Eric B. & Rakim and OutKast are Public Enemy at No. 6, Run-D.M.C. at No. 5, A Tribe Called Quest at No. 4, N.W.A at No. 3 and Wu-Tang Clan at No. 2.
The publication said the criteria for its rankings included: body of work/achievements (charted singles/albums, gold/platinum certifications, other awards), cultural impact/influence (how the group’s work fostered the genre’s evolution), longevity (years at the mic), lyrics (storytelling skills) and flow (vocal prowess).
“Our definition of groups includes duos, proper groups and more nebulous collectives. Most notably, inclusion on this list is based on the accomplishments of the group as a unit — not what the individuals may have separately accomplished. We tried to walk the line between what constitutes a group versus a collective or a crew, though at times that was not entirely clear,” the publication explained.
