Da city where the skinny nikkas die
Good read. Im glad he realizws what he did on wu forever. Ugod on wu forever is pretty much as flawless as it gets verse wise. He never got his shine but real wu fans appreciate him and all the “lesser” known guys like him killa and deck during That era really stepped it up to levels few have seen making wu really look like a super group.

I might venture to say deck and ugods verses on forever are the best in history of the genre. So complex and simple at the same time.


bruh! my only real exposure to U God is from Wu Tang Forever. His verses on Triumph and Itz Yourz are among my favorites. So I was confused later when everyone would say that U God was trash. glad to see other people fukked with him.​

He was honest. I'm still tripping off the rest of the clan laughing him out of the booth until he got his shyt together :mjlol:

They used to call him the Four bar killa

That story of them kicking the shyt outta that "Born" dude for no apparent reason is typial hood mentality.

nikkas kicked him in the head/face, threw him out of a car & almost killed him for wildin out at some party and them thinking it made them look bad..geez.

No Father To MY Style.. A Son Unique
solo album wise, he was

listen and compare just the first 4 tracks of ugods album to meth, gza, rae, ghost,odb first 4 tracks and hear the difference
Thats not fair

Thosr albums were all helmed by rza to the point where the emcees themselveswerent in control of their own albums

Rza was out the door when ugods album came along. He exec produced but long gone was any sense of consistancy.

3 best songs on ugods album have nothing to do with rza

yeah i know,its not fairt but im saying tho thats how people judged the clan, it was on albums and thats why people saw ugod as a lower member even tho he ripped the forever album, on their own ugod was like next to masta killa
