Answer: rock

The rap group, which lasted from 1996-1998, contained Nas, Foxy Brown, Cormega, AZ, and Nature. The rock group had Chris Slade, Jimmy Page, and Paul Rodgers; the mid-1980s gave the groups sellout tours, but dismal album sales.
There was a third group that called themselves The Firm which had a 1987 novelty number one hit "Star Trekkin'." Since it was not a supergroup, I did not include them in the question.
