you make a good point. When ENTER came out, it was ODB, Meth, RZA for me.

Now I'd probably say Ghost, MK, RZA.

less_cunning 06.01.2009 08:30 PM

yes. i would definitely say that Masta Killa has the best overall turn-of-the-century post-aughties output. he just got progressively better as an emcee. & i think he most embodies the Wu-Tang asethetic now.

i liked his first one, the second one wasn't so hot though

I guess I'd pick GZA or Ghostface on record.

But Method Man is hands down the best live performer and anyone who disagrees is wrong.

that'd persuade me, for sure

ghostface no doubt, only one to remain viable throughout his entire career. most varied lyrical stylings too, from surrealist wierdo sputterings to highly detailed street narratives. if you ask me, "supreme clientele" and "fishscale" are the two best hip hop records of this decade, along with maybe the madvillain album and the second clipse album.

noisereductions 06.03.2009 07:05 AM

Alright, so then currently:

1. Ghost
2. MK
3. RZA

This is a fairly essential read. And since everybody's putting top threes..

1. RZA
2. GZA
3. Inspectah Deck

floatingslowly 06.03.2009 12:24 PM

GAWD. HOW DO YOU CHOOSE?

since forced: GZA/RZA

afterthefact 06.03.2009 12:30 PM

I always like that one old white guy in the group, I can't remember what his name was though...

I'm fairly sure B-Murr could bust a fat rhyme if so provoked.

Ha.

Weird, I've been using a hi-res version of this picture as my desktop background for ages.

Maybe ha because it's funny.

With his husky voice and the sound of him sucking his saliva back due to a legitimate drooling problem, the charismatic Method Man instantly becomes the most popular member of the crew.
