This is where I will confess that I have never been able to get into Ghostface, just because his voice is so annoying. Surely I'm not the only one?

The RZA contributed the lion's share so it's gotta be him.

voting masta killa. always loved method man, odb, and inspectah deck, but mk was always so underrated.
a personal classic and a rare non-wu appearance.

I chose Dirty because Return to the 36 Chambers is still one of the most idiosyncratic and exciting albums of any genre.

I voted Raekwon because his raps were always so damn solid, but GZA's track on the Rhapsody album was an incredible reminder of the ability he possesses when he brings his A game.

Confession: there were a number of years there where votes weren't being saved properly between server reboots and we've moved server about five times since this poll began so maybe better you just talk it out who is actually best

pretty sure most of the votes i cast over the years were rza, gza and deck, so obviously these results are fatally tainted by the server resets and lose all legitimacy

Nice distribution of points, although pretty impressed at how much Ghostface crushed it. His stock has gone way up over the past 15 or so years.
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Tuesday, 5 May 2020 03:51 (four years ago) link
partially because of how prolific he's been, and how consistently listenable-to-good most of his releases were, even if he's treaded water for a while. not that this is why people voted for him, but he has never really stopped chugging along. Raekwon probably the closest in terms of releases and quality control.

Ghostface is the only one where I accrued lots and lots of solo/collab records, almost all being decent investments. Have no idea whether I voted though!
― Nag! Nag! Nag!, Tuesday, 5 May 2020 04:17 (four years ago) link
Love some u-god verses like on the completely bonkers Chercez LaGhost + Uzi, It’s Yourz, Chessboxin, Pinky Ring, Black Jesus, Click Click. Has way more classics than masta but masta gets credit for releasing a couple solid post wu prime solo albums.

so this is a nerd question but my wife was listening to a rza interview about his ice cream jingle and apropos of nothing he started raving about how much he fucking loves the mellotron
does anybody know any releases where rza uses the mellotron
planet mellotron is no use because the guy who runs that site is gatekeepy and doesn't count sampled mellotron, you know how gear nerds get
