Final Four: Wu-Tang Clan vs. A Tribe Called Quest

[ZEB WALTON]

ill say it again... besides the fact that some jew had to OWN a member in order to make money off them, what is the difference between wu gambinos being a wu song and m.e.t.h.o.d. man. im not going to listen to yall separate the clan because each company had to have a piece. the same combinations on those wu albums lie on those first 5 solos.. the clan calls them group albums, why shouldn't I? they MADE them not the guy owning the label.

the wu symbol is on the cover of every first solo

they were all made in the same place amongst each other

you ever see AN ALBUM say FEATURING members?

I cant coutn tracks like Daytona 500? even if I ignore eveeeery solo wu song... Daytona 500, gambinos, shadow boxin, can it be remix ARE NOT wu tang SONGS?

You do make a good point about features..House of Flying Daggers or Wu Gambinos or Ice Cream are as much Wu songs as Heaterz or Rushing Elephants or Chessboxin

I'm honestly trying but I've yet to see a logical explanation for why the early Wu solos (through "Forever") aren't considered Wu albums. Again, if you want to exclude the albums after they moved away from RZA production, or when they featured less Wu members, go for it. But the first batch? It's Wu albums. Exact same rappers, exact same producer, and the group never broke up.

"It's not fair" isn't a good reason, I didn't make these threads or put Wu in the polls. The solos severely handicap 99% of the groups going against Wu.

I agree they can be included if we are talking about songs that could be group songs. So that's a lot of everything on the wu albums

 

[MartyMcFly]

I made a Wu mix of 36 songs that I feel tells a perfect story of Wu and who they are and what they represent and a lot of the songs on it are songs off of solo albums: Shaowboxin, Knuckleheadz, Wu Gambinos, House of Flying Daggers, Daytona 500, etc

ATCQ, easily.

The Low End Theory and Midnight Marauders are just way too untouchable.

 

[charmander]

both are overrated and wack as fukk

but i fukk with a couple songs off midnight marauders so i guess ATCQ gets my vote

 

[Billy Ocean]

36 Chambers and Wu-Tang Forever rival those 2 in quality.

they were planning on doing solo albums from the jump. rza & gza were out before wutang even existed. and if they wouldve blew up, we wouldnt even be having this conversation period.

you dudes spend more time trying to count these solo albums than you do talking about their actual group chit.

its weak and corny.

its like yall knew they werent really fit to compete like that once we got down to the sweet 16.

 

[Wacky D]

and wutang forever is not no dam classic.

only in wu-world.

Question and this isn't to be an ass: but how are we determining classics? Opinions on message boards, critic ratings or what?

I feel like they're fit to compete breh. I feel like they dust any group in front of them or behind them and I can base that purely off of the albums that say Wu Tang Clan

 

[ZEB WALTON]

wacky, how bout this. ill shut the fukk up and change my vote if you explain to me how a song "features Wu-Tang". obviously wu tang had to have done collabs with each other. is wu gambinos raekwon featuring wu tang? what about ice cream? ice water?glaciers?rainy days?

explain to me how a song features the wu tang clan since those aren't wu tang songs
