if only people hadn't posted who they voted for, so we could dig up the time capsule in 13 years and be surprised by the results
― bernard snowy, Monday, 28 May 2007 22:58 (sixteen years ago) link
in the future, u-god will be the most highly praised wu-tanger ...
... or, with a greater probability, method man will be the most highly praised wu-tanger and 13 years from now folks will be shocked that he got so little love back in the day.

U-God is awful. His verses are almost uniformly bad, IMHO.
RZA is a great lyricist and his beats (at least before 2000), are amazing. GZA's verses are the most cerebral. Inspectah Deck is a hugely underrated lyricist, and while he's not charismatic enough to handle a track alone, he always makes a track better (BTW, check his verse on "Let My Niggas Live"-- it's badass) Ghostface is the most stream-of-consciousness and in many ways the most surreal lyricist. ODB... well, you gotta love ODB. I don't really care for Meth all that much. His style doesn't really fit in with the other members in my opinion.

― deej, Tuesday, 29 May 2007 19:32 (sixteen years ago) link
i voted for Ghostface, although maybe i should have voted GZA. for year, Beneath the Surface was the only wu-tang album i owned.
From the Daily News: When rapper Method Man rolled down his SUV's window at the Battery Tunnel to pay the toll, a cloud of marijuana smoke wafted outside - and landed him in jail, authorities said yesterday. "It was like something out of 'Cheech and Chong.' He rolls down the window and the smoke would choke a horse," a source said.

Hoping all you peeps are gearing up for the Wu Tang artist poll (probs sometime around mid 2016?)

should've done it back in 2002 - the battle was filled with the wu iirc

kinda pumped to do it next year, i really haven't dipped into old Wu in years. Ready for a refresher.

#1 favorite wu-tang member RERUN DUE TO SERVER ISSUES THIS IS CRUCIAL
nobody vote
― genital giant (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 5 May 2020 00:27 (three years ago) link
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
― Doctor Casino, Tuesday, 5 May 2020 02:23 (three years ago) link
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 (three 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.
― genital giant (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 5 May 2020 04:00 (three years ago) link
how did U-God beat Masta Killa
on the basis of "raw, I'ma give it to ya, with no trivia..." verse?
― genital giant (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 5 May 2020 04:01 (three years ago) link
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 (three 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.
― Spottie, Tuesday, 5 May 2020 06:04 (three years ago) link
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
