bizzys first 2 albums were great

layzies, not so much lol

flesh was solid

wish lazy ass never even made a solo i believe

Bizzy's first two albums were great?!?   I didn't think there was anything on those two albums.  Flesh first solo and Krayzie's second solo Thug On the Line—were better than any of bizzy's solos.

What were the best cuts on Bizzy's first two because I didn't find any keepers.

while wish wasn't the best rapper in the group, i do think he was a necessary component, which often provided a more direct, change of pace.

i don't think he was whack like people made him out to be.. he just couldn't chop on the same level, but he was dope in his own right

yeah he definitely had his moments

he wasn't on the level of like a U-God in being so far inferior to the rest of the group

Yes, exactly.  Like… Bone wasn’t Bone without Wish.  He was step for step with them—they all were step for step really. Like you don’t have Crossroad without “And I miss my Uncle Charles ya’ll”

But Wu-tang has like an A team and a B team

A team

Meth
Rza
Ghostface
Raekwon
Gza
ODB -


B team

Deck (Deck could be A team but I’m mad at him that he doesn’t even know that Kurupt and Daz are on “Got My Mind Made Up” and thinks they were taken off along with him and Rage)
U-God
Master Killa

that's not what I asked.. I already listened to them and didn't find anything.  Name one or two bangers because I don't have the patience to listen thru the whole album again but I can give a few songs a chance

"Thugz Cry" got pretty good video play on BET so I already gave that one plenty of chances.  But I'm checking this other one out.  It's pretty dope I suppose.   

(I'm a fan of the o.g Prince track "Dove's Cry" because Purple Rain is a great movie and that was the best song from a movie full of great music.  I used to think Prince was gay so I didn't like him, but in that movie, he macks the flyest honies down harder than Suga Free.   Purple Rain was 8 Mile before 8 Mile.  They say 8 Mile copies Flash Dance but I thought they copied Purple Rain.  Maybe "copied" is a bad word because there's nothing wrong with either of the films, more like they just drew inspiration from Prince's movie)
