Yeah true. But most people voted just on rapping. If there were a "most important" Wu Member poll, no doubt RZA would have to win. Like I said, there is no Wu without RZA. You can take any other guy away from the group and it's still a solid group. But if you take RZA away, everything is completely different.

Yeah I hear you on this. RZAs beats are just so....grimey? I love when him and GZA work together, it's just golden to me.

GZA'a not one of my favorites. I think he's a solid rapper but I prefer others in the group. I haven't heard Liquid Swords yet though so things might change.

i think your mind will change dude

I felt the same way before I heard all of Liquid Swords. I preferred Meth, Rae, and ODB. But now GZA is right up at the top beside Meth in my opinion. Liquid Swords is a personal top 5 favorite of mine


I always thought Ghost was the most over rated. I never liked his voice and he just doesn't have many verses I really like to be honest

I probably like Ghost as much as GZA, and RZA (as a rapper) about the same. Meth and ODB have the best flows, imo. just so fun to listen to.

I've always found Raekwon kind of overrated. His voice annoys me enough for me to dislike him more than most of the rest of them.

I'm definitely digging that new raekwon track. His last album was awesome, so I'm expecting great things.:thumb:

I don't know, i felt like he tried really hard with OBFCL part 2 because he had to live up to a really high standard with that album, i could see this one being slightly more phoned-in, not necessarily bad but just another album..

Phantom Limb 02-16-2011 09:54 AM

Maybe, but if that was the case, what made OBFCL1 so good? He wasn't trying to live up to anything on that album and it was great.

It was his solo debut, and it came out in 1995.

So he was working on pumping out the best first impressions possible, AND he was a lot better in '95 than he is today, because he was young, fresh, and hungry. He was more driven. He was in his prime at that time.

That said, Rae's pretty consistent, honestly. But I get what matious means. Have you heard Wu-Massacre? That album was exactly what matious was describing, in my opinion.
