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.

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.

― Spottie, Thursday, 7 September 2017 22:26 (six years ago) link
I probably voted for GZA in 2007; this time around I'm going with Cap'n Checkmate because his contributions to The W and Iron Flag are waaaaay overlooked and I'd hate to see him end up with 0 votes after all these years
― the old rugged crocs (unregistered), Thursday, 7 September 2017 22:51 (six years ago) link
i think this year i'm voting for inspectah deck. hopefully i haven't made that choice all the other times or the results are really gonna be skewed.

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.

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

thanks! cool jam, i'm not 100% sure that's _actually_ a tron, feel like it could be some willie mitchell strings? but it's a great song and it does _sound_ a lot like tron.
