Love U Gods verse on It's Yourz

otm, his pinky ring verse is also quite good. I say this as as someone who was criticizing him upthread, but i think his reputation as the worst clan member has led him to actually be a little underrated. I don't rep him hard or anything (he was #8 on my ballot), but he's not that bad by, say, '96 (Black Jesus, from Ironman, is his best moment imo). From Forever through Iron Flag, he puts together some really good verses, even if he still lags behind his groupmates.

worst rapper in the clan is like being the worst player on an all-star team. you're still pretty good.

It's Yourz ended up surprisingly high on my ballot, I ended up listening to it over and over in September, I love the way the drum track keeps switching up, and every verse save the RZA's, is outstanding

ive been called into some meetings for awhile so not sure when i can get back to the rundown. hopefully in a few hours.

Feel like someone on ILM called U God the best one-verse mc ever

I love the way the drum track keeps switching up,

Just had flashbacks of drumming along to it, was one of my favorite simple beats to go aggro on.

lol I expected genius to win this

Since the face been revealed game got real

Think this is too low. For years this was my fav of Forever.

the violin is so good

GZAs verse wrecks

I splash the paint on the wall, it formed the mural
He took a look, saw the manifestation of it, was plural
Rhymin while impaired, dart hit your garment
Pierced your internal, streamlined compartments

too low

one of those songs that, via its bob james sample, seem to crack open a musical world for me

also my god "reunited" should be top ten

yeah def thought these both would be locks for top 15-20

reunited! double lp! world excited!

carolla motorolla holda

yeah these are both top 10 material imo

re: Apollo Kids - that's def a highlight of SC, I have a very distinct memory of going to the Virgin Megastore on Market (RIP) and the listening station had this in there so I was skipping around the album and when I hit Apollo Kids I was like "hoooooly shit I HAVE to get this", was totally surprised that Ghost had stepped up after the other generally disappointing second-round solo albums

RUNNIN ROUND LIKE A PLANE ABOUT TO CRASH

oh i missed that "apollo kids" had placed. enormous song

reunited was #2 on my ballot. about as perfect as it gets. got me thinking back to that first spin of Forever, when you just had no idea what to expect... reunited damn near blew my head off.

maybe my favorite RZA verse and that's saying something

yeah shit was so hype

I got the vinyl the day that came out, took it to my friends' house that a turntable/mixer setup and was kinda unimpressed after the long Poppa Wu intro and then Reunited came on and it was like BOOM

okay this is WAY too fucking low!!

wu revolution has grown on me a ton

yeah me too tbh but at the time I just wanted straight bangers right out the gate

(that was my #1 btw why becuz I am a sap)

listening to this on the way to work this morning and, man, the storytelling in that really makes me take stock of things when i think life is rough. just unbelievably touching.

there's no toilet paper, use the newspaper

might be the first song that ever made me cry, at least that i can remember anyway. my #2
