Gravediggaz, Method Man and Organized Konfusion basically impossible to choose.

I like the beats on Blowout Comb a lot but there really isn't a whole lot going on lyrically.
― Will Chave (Hurting 2), Monday, 16 July 2012 19:06 (thirteen years ago)
Jeru is a classic too imo
― wack nerd zinging in the dead of night (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 16 July 2012 19:07 (thirteen years ago)

Close call between Scarface and Jeru The Damaja. Gang Starr and Gravediggaz would be up there too.

Organized Konfusion
― Clarke B., Monday, 16 July 2012 20:16 (thirteen years ago)
Weak spot for jeru, brand nubian, and Scarface, but I've always loved 6ft Deep.

― google deeznuts (D-40), Monday, 16 July 2012 21:33 (thirteen years ago)
also dunno why I left Hard to Earn off my list, just an oversight
― the alternate vision continues his vision quest! (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 16 July 2012 21:34 (thirteen years ago)
Close call between Jeru/Method Man/Gravediggaz for me.
― Gavin, Leeds, Monday, 16 July 2012 21:37 (thirteen years ago)
im surpried to hear tical is so acclaimed round here i never liked it much past the singles & a few select traxxx.
― google deeznuts (D-40), Monday, 16 July 2012 21:46 (thirteen years ago)
maybe that's an overstatement. but its def a kind of low-key record to me idk
i like jeru & always will altho i def feel like his rap style has aged kinda poorly. the guys he inspired were so much worse than him. i still remember ethan calling afu ra "jeru's jeru" lol
― google deeznuts (D-40), Monday, 16 July 2012 21:47 (thirteen years ago)
well you DO remember how absurdly wu-centric that all-time rap albums poll we did was, right? this is how it ranked 94:
84. Organized Konfusion - Stress: The Extinction Agenda [4 votes, 134 points, 1994]51. Jeru the Damaja - The Sun Rises In The East [8 votes, 204 points, 1994]47. Method Man - Tical [8 votes, 208 points, 1994]25. Gravediggaz - 6 Feet Deep / Niggamortis [10 votes, 317 points, 1994]5. The Notorious B.I.G. - Ready To Die [21 votes, 749 points, 1994]2. Nas - Illmatic [24 votes, 3 #1 votes, 901 points, 5 mics, 1994]

still pissed about that poll
― the alternate vision continues his vision quest! (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 16 July 2012 21:54 (thirteen years ago)
yeah deej i feel you, i think it's weird that ppl are acting like OH OF COURSE tical is the runaway winner...
tbh at the time it seemed like it was perceived as a relative dud compared to the rest of the first round of Wu Tang solo albums
i guess i've always thought of it as underrated, but maybe it's overrated.
― wack nerd zinging in the dead of night (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 16 July 2012 21:57 (thirteen years ago)
fuckin a that keith murray album is fucking great too i listened to that so much
i think i'm gonna vote for keith so it gets one vote
― wack nerd zinging in the dead of night (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 16 July 2012 21:58 (thirteen years ago)
My top 5
Outkast - SouthernplayalisticadillacmuzikDigable Planets - Blowout CombUGK - Super TightGang Starr - Hard To EarnRedman - Dare Iz A Darkside

― chain the color of am0n (The Reverend), Monday, 16 July 2012 22:49 (thirteen years ago)
actually, wait, put Bone at #5
― chain the color of am0n (The Reverend), Monday, 16 July 2012 22:52 (thirteen years ago)
dare iz a darkside is a stong contender....i think ppl got used to redman as sort of a snoop/willie nelson/ludacris/busta "welcome guest appearance" guy for so long that they forget the first two albums are super powerful dark funk with red rhyming his ass off
― wack nerd zinging in the dead of night (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 16 July 2012 22:55 (thirteen years ago)
first album is my fave
― chain the color of am0n (The Reverend), Monday, 16 July 2012 23:11 (thirteen years ago)

oh obv their word doesn't really mean anything and anyway they gave it 3 1/2 stars. i just thought the "white european max tundra fans calling deltron 3030 the truth" line was bullshit coming from someone who picked a UK critical darling like Gravediggaz over Gang Starr/UGK/Scarface/etc.
