Mantronix should have been on this list. They were ahead of their time. Kurtis Mantronik mastered the Roland 808 and 909 drum machines and also composed a few top 100 songs in the club music scene.

These groups have never been forgotten by 70's and 80's kids. Zapp and Roger were making records before this.

Shout out to The Force MDs. They're credited for merging R&B and Hip Hop. <br><br>They were rapping, singing, and dancing in the streets and clubs before they got their 1st record deal.
