2. Wu-Tang Clan

The Wu-Tang Clan is one of the best, most highly influential rap groups to have ever existed. Originally comprised of 9 guys from all over New York, the clan brought a fierce mix of street rap and Eastern-philosophy to the hip-hop world in the early 90s. Several of the members blew up into bona fide superstars (Method Man and RZA being two of the most well-known) but no matter how many solo albums they each put out, the clan always reforms like Voltron.

The main reason to catch the Wu-Tang Clan is because they don€™t tour very often. With so many members, it is easy to understand how hard it is to get them all in one spot. They will undoubtedly be providing a masterclass on razor-sharp lyricism that slices like a katana. The rap industry has morphed over the years into the realm of pop, sacrificing depth for surface-level catchiness. Thankfully, Wu-Tang will be there to remedy that.
