TOP GROSSING RAP CREWS

I was recently reading the latest issue of XXL Magazine March '09 (Issue # 111)
and came across a rather interesting article called:
CLANS, POSSES, CREWS & CLIQUES.
This article breaks down record sales, core group members, affiliates,etc. of the most popular Hip Hop crews ever. Starting in the '80's with the Juice Crew, N.W.A., the '90's with Native Tongues, Dungeon Family, Cash Money, Bad Boy, Death Row, No Limit, Wu-Tang, Roc-A-Fella, Dip-Set, etc... The fucked up thing about this Article is the title: CLANS, POSSES, CREWS & CLIQUES , a song made famous by Heltah Skeltah on their debut disc, Nocturnal. There was not one word mentioned about NYC's famed Boot Camp Clik (comprised of Heltah Skeltah, Buckshot, OGC, Cocoa Brovas, Black Moon, Dru-Ha) but their song was used as the title for this article... Ironic?
The winner though, with 55 million in Record sales was: Death Row Records.
It's definitely worth the read... Get ya history right!!!!!!!!!!!
