That's how I looked at things before punching my ticket for Madlib. I know it's just a little competition for fun, but I sort of struggled with how to vote for solo/group artists throughout this whole thing because it wasn't very well defined.
I don't see this as Madlib vs. GZA, Raekwon, Ghostface, RZA, etc... It is Madlib vs. Wu-Tang as a collective unit. With that in mind, I put less stock in any solo work by Wu-Tang artists when considering voting for thee "Wu-Tang Clan".
I late realized the hypocrisy of doing this, while still giving Madlib tons of credit for Madvillain (who, like GZA, Raekwon, etc, was also a separate competitor in the polls that also lost out over the course of time). But, even factoring out Madvillain, I still think Madlib instrumental work has such an abundant amount of quality across the map that he takes the cake for me.
In the end, it looks like RVCA voted for Wu-Tang Clan so... there ya go. 11-10.
