Yeah, listening to them both rhyme on Duel of the Iron Mic you can really compare their styles. Easily two of the strongest lyricist in hip-hop during the 90s (or of all time depending on the criteria). GZA has more complex word play for sure, but Master Killa had a better delivery imo. He's just so methodical with everything he says and always stays right with the beat. GZA will sometimes cram in too many words in a bar, and other bars he won't use enough words so he'll try to stretch them. He also runs out breath sometimes and squeezes out those last few words.
