I did not forget JMJ. Technically on the mic Run DMC was a duo. Salt n Pepa is on this list and they had Spinderalla. EMPD also had a fulltime DJ: K La Boss and then Scratch.

no dpg? okay. but there isn't any question that outkast is the greatest duo of all time... S&P are high up too tho.
The fact that Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince weren't named on this list allows me to not take it seriously. Not taking anything away from any of these groups, but Outkast wouldn't have been able to win ANY Grammys if JJFP didn't boycott and win the first one. Just saying.
Gangstarr:
Best Beats and they been good back when they started and still were when Guru was healthy still.

The Greatest comes in the word DUO. Everyone on this list you can imagine one w/o the other on a record, NOW, try that w/ Salt n Pepa... you can't do it! And to me thats what makes them the greatest Rap duo of all time. W/ the Males, you can name one after another, BUT, what other Female Group EVEN comes close?
