Time's Up is still a classic
I forgot how much rappers used to love saying "I manifest" back in the 90's, haha

I don't think this is bad, but maybe my standards are low after ATM Jam being one of the worst songs I've heard in a long time?
Wish she wasn't such a huge idiot but if being independent now means she can actually put out a project like her 1991 EP I'll be satisfied.

Do you know which beat this song jacks?
I feel like I've heard is somewhere before. Sounds like something Roc Marciano would have rapped over, but there's a very good chance it's not from him.

the u-god hate in there makes me
the dudes breakdown in that thread was still funny though
yall sleeping on these:
just stay the fuck away from his wack ass album that has that horrible ass "bump" song
You ever listened to O.C.'s album Starchild? IIRC it was released in Japan only, shit was incredible, amazing production.
I think we're all willing to concede that Dopium is in that 3rd tier of Wu Tang work. Not top tier, not Uncontrolled Substance tier, but just right below that. Right below.
I have not but I will.

You know what I'm still looking forward to Pilot Talk 3 regardless of the absence of Ski, Cool & Dre are very good producers.

U-God leveled up on Wu Tang Forever, I can't hate. Outside of that tho...nah. Streetlife was really dope IMO.

To be fair, U-God had nowhere to go but up.

talking about their pager
and having a sex skit (RIP to the legends, but Biggie and Pun, I'm not trying to hear y'all have sex)
GTA3 was my introduction to Sean Price. I fucked with Mic Tyson heavy. I really should seek out his older stuff.

Anyone seen Gibbs live? How is he?
He has a gig here in Finland on my birthday and tickets are quite cheap.

We need to speak about how outside of Juicy (which he didn't even produce), the only song credits Diddy has on Ready To Die are for the skits, ie the absolute worst parts of the album.
They didn't upload stuff yet.
Word Life was a classic, if you knew about it to begin with that is.
OC's second album isn't that bad, just not nearly as good.
Diamond D's second album, same thing as OC.
I give the nod to this one as my all-time favorite DITC related album tho
I still listen to this one.

I'm listening to Beats,Rhymes and Life and I can't believe people actually hated on this when it first came out shit is dope.
Prince Paul GOAT skit producer.
i dunno that first time you hear that corny Faith Evans shit and those not there yet Dilla beats, hard to put it on over the rest of their catalog. good tracks, but their first three outings were stone cold classics; a victim of their own success.
that and Love Movement just have too many weak ass tracks for me to wanna listen start to finish.
Emperor I mostly agree with your list, but take issue on that ODB album N Please, which is a great party / pre-game album, even if the Neptunes production ages like guacamole on a hot day.
also these are classics, ipso facto
Method Man - Tical
ODB - Return to the 36 Chambers

History's been kinder to beats rhymes, and those Wu tiers mostly seem solid but ODBs return to 36 is top tier for me,and I still play Tical Defense Force around here
You were on the right path. it's Roc Marciano - Sweet Nothings.

I listened to a few Wu Tang Forever tracks the other day and was like, say what you will about U God, but he brought it for that album.

Oh yes was listening to this a couple days ago.
Thanks breh. Wikipedia says the Marciano track was produced by him, but the tag on the Nitty song says it's by Moss. Maybe the sample added to the beginning of Sweet Nothings warrants changing who gets credit? Either way someone got Caco'd.
ugod really isnt horrible and is mostly hindered by the fact that he has a lame voice, old man delivery, being in a crew of GOATs while just being ok, and being just a general cornball
hes always just sounded like an old ass man
also hes got the worst name in wu besides masta killa maybe

At least Masta Killa fits the whole Kung-Fu flick thing Wu-Tang had going. U-God was always this strange outlier.
HiResDes, have you listened to the new Nell tape? I know you're like the one other dude in here who's into his shit. It's about what you'd expect...production is a little budget and he doesn't try anything new, but he's still fire on pretty much every track. A step down from Vice City but probably worth your time. Dude has so much energy, he can carry even mediocre beats with it.
I remember some interview where he said something to the effect of 'I don't fuck with that mystical kungfu shit'. Rustled my jimmies
