BEST HIPHOP GROUP EVAR!

I'm still not sure how many members there are(were?). I consider them the best hiphop group to ever be assembled for several reasons. Nobody(save Automater) can create beats like they can. You can listen to the instrumental of a lot of their songs and that alone will take your mind on a trip. They also drop deep, DEEP lyrics (killah priest). And on top of that, they were basically insane and over-the-top (like public enemy and nwa).

Hey, didn't RZA do some of the music for Kill Bill?

9

R.I.P. ODB

 

[levious]

nine original members

RZA, Genius, ODB, Inspector Deck, Raekwon, U-God, Ghost Face Killer, Method, Master Killer


First album was great, Method's, ODB's, Genius', and Raekwon's first solo's were great too. That's about it.

ODB's last album was good too.

Wu-Tang Forever was a bigger abomination than the Phantom Menace. And further cemented the curse of the double album.

They just interviewed RZA on NPR today, and spoke briefly about how he composed the Kill Bill soundtrack and the Wu-Tang Manual.

 

[levious]

Rebel INS was one of the cooler sounding aliases I thought.

 

[karasu]

I agree, they're the best.

I really like Wu-Tang Forever. It took a while but it eventually grew on me.

Nobody(save Automater) can create beats like they can.

That comment alone disqualifies you from making any "Best Evar" comments.

not quite

 

[Pedigree Chum]

I love Wu-Tang but I must agree with the above. Aren't they working on a second album together? That's going to be the shit.

 

[karasu]

not quite

They're the best duo

 

[Vieo]

They're the best duo

I thought Kid N' Play were the best duo.

 

[ChronoMagnus]

Talib and mos def are definately the best taq-team in rap, but have you ever heard Method man and Redman together. I still listen to blackout till this day. Wu-tang has fallen off but they hold the claim of making the best hip-hop album ever. Enter the Wu-tang:36 chambers is literally the best rap album....period. In at close second is blackstar.

Wu-tang forever!!

 

[whytemyke]

wu tang is awesome, first off.

second off, the methodman/redman blackout album is awesome. not as tight as blackstar but still... awesome shit.

but best duo has gotta go to Kriss Kross. SRY FUKAZ U PWN3D!!!
