Best Wu Rapper (single, albums, member, quote)

This one was a hard desicion, RZA is my favorite, but it asked for the best. So I just said fuck it and voted for Method Man, Inspectah Deck, Ghostface Killa, ODB, and RZA.

i would say that inspectah, but
i havent seen noone else live
so i may be wrong

I like Ghost, on the whole, but I feel Liquid Swords is one of the best records ever; my favorite Wu record, anyway.

Can someone recommend the best Inspectah Deck record; I'm pretty sure I've never heard him solo.

Edit: After reading some posts, it looks like Deck never cut a solo disc? Oh well.

I'm fairly new to hip-hop and the Wu, but I have something of a man-crush on RZA. I've heard and loved all the Collective albums, OB4CL, all the Ghost stuff, Rtt36C (ODB), Tical (Meth) and Liquid Swords (GZA). What else has RZA worked on that I should gank? Is his solo stuff any good?

Inspectah Deck released Uncontrolled Substance but I've never listened to it. He also released another one called The Movement.

RZA is my favorite out of the whole wu clan.
Have you heard Digital Bullet? Bobby Digital in Stereo?

or 6 feet deep....which is actually him with two others in his group gravediggers

Bizarre Ride to the Pharcyde
Paid In Full
Mama Said Knock You Out
Bigger and Deffer
Slick Rick's Adventure in Storytelling

Those are just 5 CD's that would smash ALL Wu-Tang albums single-handedly.

Serious question? I think the solo career of Ghostface makes it blindingly clear who the best Wu Tang member is. He's released more decent records than Wu Tang did over the entire span of their existence.

Lol. Slick Rick...

If you don't know that Slick Rick is a Hip Hop icon, with his first album considered a classic...with very little longevity rivals, then I am embarrassed for you.

ProggyMan · 02-21-2008, 02:05 PM

I know who Slick Rick is, and I don't care. I think he's average at best.

I am almost afraid to ask, but...

whom is a "good rapper/lyricist"?
