You have a point. Just because people like Shook Ones Pt. 2 and it's their most popular song, doesn't mean it's a terrible song all of a sudden.

I haven't really given Mobb Deep a proper listen yet. But as for Wu-Tang, i feel like a few MC's mess the whole group up, like they should have just made the group Meth, Raekwon, Ghostface Killa, RZA and GZA. And 36 Chambers REALLY didn't live up to the hype in my opinion. I know it's old school, and it's supposed to be like an acquired taste but the songs started sounding the same and very boring a few track in. I mean of course there were a few excellent tracks like M.E.T.H.O.D Man, Tearz, and C.R.E.A.M, but i was disappointed. And i don't get the praise for Protect Ya Neck, it sounded like the rest of the album

Ya gotta mention deck

I'm a huge wu fan. They have so much amazing material from their group shit to their solo projects. I feel like u can't really compare the two though because wu tang had so many great members and they were around before mobb deep plus wu never fell off, all the stuff they put out is still hot and prodigy hasn't been good since 99

Mobb Deep before Infamy didn't put a foot wrong, and are rightly remembered for their early stuff, I mean Infamous & Hell On Earth are 2 classics but it feels ever since Infamy, they've been a shadow of their former selves and with Prodigy locked up, i can't see them making anything near the level they were

Wu IMO produced 1 of Hip-Hop top albums EVER in 36 Chambers, i can't fault nothing on that CD. Their influence is huge, maybe just surpassing Mobb Deep but you feel over time, as a group, the music has slowly declined (Wu-Massacre was a disappointment) but individually most (especially Raekwon & Ghost) drop more or less dope shit

So I'd say Wu overall

Wu massacre was rushed for the lables. Ob4cl2 is a classic and ghosts latest was great too minus the song with jim jonnes

Havoc is still semi decent, but P fell off probably worse than anyone in the Wu.

"Wu-Tang Clan"

Old ass thread that I'm bumping but if you don't like it you can suck my cock. Anyway I'm surprised so many prefered Mobb Deep over Wu Tang.Like others said it's not really fair to compare a duo to a freakin nine man group at least compare Wu Tang to a group like The Roots/ AOTP/ NWA etc and compare Mobb Deep to duos like MOP/Black Starr/ Binary Star etc.

I'm from Staten but still prefer Mobb Deep, the only member that I really like is Ghostface the rest are great no doubt, but eh. They also had more influence and dropped some real gems, but they've also dropped some serious deuces in their career.

So really I guess you can narrow it down to Prodigy vs Ghostface for me. Ghostface is great lyrically and is a master of hardcore hip hop, but so is Prodigy. Prodigy isn't as proficient lyrically, but he probably has the best voice in rap and I've always loved his straight to the gut one liners no filler lines just about every line can be taken out of context and still sound dope (he is one of the most sampled rappers after all), Ghostface's delivery is also distinct and one of my favorite BK accents, but at times his street slang just confuses the shit out of me and he's gotten heat for it too. (Nutmeg anyone).

Consistancy no doubt goes to Ghostface he's one of the most consistant mcess, he had no garbage albums minus Ghostdeini and three Classics (Ironman, Supreme Clientele, Fishscales) add in his numerous other verses on classics albums like OB4CL,OB4CL 2(not really a classic but whatever)36 chambers, Wu Forever and it's clear his material is undeniable.

The Infamous and Hell on Earth are in my top 10 personal favorite hip hop albums ever though, they were the kings of that noir gutter east coast sound. No other album during that era came close in embodying that hardcore noir rap like they did. Not Dah Shinin, Not LOPD, not War Report, or whatever album you want to throw at me.

As Prodigy said, "Me and my man pioneered this violent ***** rap shit"


(Yeah I know there were other hardcore rap groups before them)

OutKast

The Roots, Cunninlynguists, De La Soul, Blackalicious, Zion I, Binary Star, Doomtree, Hieroglyphics, Goodie Mob.>

Seriously though someone should have made DITC vs Wu Tang.
I mean you got guys like Big L, OC, Lord Finesse, Fat Joe (he was dope back in the day), Diamond D. They've never released a group album that matches 36 chambers or even Wu forever, but Word...Life, Stunts Blunts and Hip Hop, LOPD, Funky Technician are all classics and give some of the Wu solos for a run for their money.

BCC would have even sufficed.

what part of staten?
