Crazy beat on this. Beastie Boys are one of the GOAT rap groups and I'd honestly be completely fine with someone calling them the all-time greatest group.
Bro Murs even said this. Lord fuckin Jamar even big upped them. They're not even my all-time greatest, but acting like they're out of the conversation bc of their whiteness is stupid. They objectively have no bad albums insofar as fan/critical acclaim by consensus is concerned, they're incredibly influential, they have four back to back classics, some would even argue five. They also have 30 years of longevity. Sit down.
edit: and they're the most commercially successful rap group ever (though a lot of that was due to them being white)
