DUBCC - Tha Connection > Outbound Connection
Wu-Tang Clan appreciation thread
eNgIeS:
Lately (like the past 2 weeks) i have been listening to heaps of Wu-Tang from over the years, & seeing as no one seems to mention em here (unless its Meth, ODB or RZA) i just thought it would be good to give opinions & thoughts on the Wu-Tang, the affiliates of Wu & thoughts on albums, favorite songs etc etc
Wu-Tang Clan (in order of preference
Method Man/Johnny Blaze/Tical: One of the best ever, he has it all flow, lyrics, voice, charisma & he has a style & great methaphors that Jay-Z been biting for years. Though unfortunately both solo efforts so far while good, didnt do justice to the talent the man has
Ghostface Killah/Iron Man/Tony Starks: One of my favorites & one of the best. Uses alot of his own creative slang but when you really listen & digest it you can understand what he sayin. Both Iron Man & Supreme Clientele are classic cd's, true near-5 mic albums, & his last album, Bulletproof Wallets was decent just a bit more soulfoul & softer than what suits Ghost
Cappadonna/Cappachino (Yes, he was the 10th member but was dumped before the Iron Flag which is why he aint on that CD): IMO one of the most underrated rappers. I've heard many complaints about Cappa, but i love his flow, & his slang style is very similar to Ghostface Killah too, so i dont know why people complain about his lyrics yet they often say Ghostface is great. "Black Boy" is one of my favorite tracks, & while Ying & the Yang was barely average, The Pillage is a good album
GZA/Genius: One of the great lyricsts too. Heck i think if you just listened to "Labels" you can tell that, how he took label names & made a song out of em. Liquid Swords is a near classic, Beneath The Surface & his newest cd is dope too, his debut album is pretty good for its time but kinda corny (just listen to "Come Do Me" & you'll see what i mean)
Inspectah Deck/Rebel I.N.S: Like GZA, but i havent heard his first solo album, but the movement was pretty good, but totally sounds unlike a Wu cd
Mastah Killah: Like GZA & Deck, but far out, when the hell is he gonna come out with an album
Ol' Dirty Bastard/Dirt McGritt: Sure, 1997 onwards he straight up sucked (hopefully detox has helped him overcome problems that held him down), but before that, though his voice flow & style is definately unique, but i loved it & i love his debut album too. I also loved "Got Cha Money" but thats about it.
Raekwon/The Chef: A hypocrite & a hater, but still pretty good. Havent heard his 2nd solo but his debut is a near classic
RZA/Bobby Digital: I just have never digged his naselly voice, but other than that he is pretty good, but a better producer than he is at rappin
U-God/Golden Arms: His decent i havent heard his solo yet but the few songs i heard i digged
Affiliates:
Street Life: I luv his style pity all he gets to do is appear on Wu & Meth shit
True Master: Dope producer & while RZA's production has fallen off over the years, he has produced the dope shit for Wu
11th or 7th disciple (forgotten which name it was): like above

I dont think they tried to appeal to the main stream, but they do have a new style, like RZA's production is different now.I want it to go back old days for Wu, just like I wish Snoop was doing Doggystyle & DPG was doin Dogg Food
But u cant u gotta move on with the times know whta i mean
