I'll agree they're not on the level of the Beatles. A little history lesson: Run DMC was really one of the first groups to really give Hip Hop that tough look that it has today, before them as far as I know it was pretty much an extension of disco and people who considered themselves to be rappers were disco artists. Their work helped pave the path for Hip Hop to work it's way into mainstream music, Eminem, TI, Ludacris, Jay Z, probably wouldn't be such big names if it weren't for the work of Run DMC. The Beastie Boys kept up that work in their own way. These two are likely the two greatest Hip Hop groups of all time, and are certainly a part of history. I just don't get how you guys get excited over suggestions including modern one hit wonder youtube sensations but you don't want to see this battle.-AWC
