Artists That Are Better As a Feature

no i think you're missing the point in the thread. nobody is denying that they aren't good on their own, we're simply saying they are BETTER as features.

to use your basketball analogy you might say LeBron is the best player of all-time and I might say playing on the Heat and the Cavs has put him there. (just an example)

Lebron James isn't a feature in any sense other than the most basic interpretation of the word, though. He's the centerpiece of all of those teams the same way that Michael Jordan was. My point is that Ghostface is a main eventer, a star player on a stacked team if you will. Maybe there's a communication issue like you say, but I don't think so.

i'll put it in as few words as possible.

ghostface is great on his own but he is better as a featured artist in wu-tang.

lolwut?

A better analogy would be: Player X might be good enough to start a game, but I think he’s best used coming on as a substitute when the opposition is tired.

ghostface is good on his own but being a part of wu-tang is where he's at his best

not sure how that's confusing

The point is what Ghostface does, not the overall song quality. So is he better jumping in on a track or having a full song to himself. The team/LeBron analogy focuses on the song rather than what the individual player brings.

We agree anyway, so let's also agree that Method Man and ODB are by far the best Wu-Tang members?

damn meth is definitely up there, and as far as memorable verses ODB ranks pretty high too...

i don't necessarily agree but i don't disagree enough to say you're wrong.

opinion respected.

LOL

That's the worst analogy yet.
