Hav and P wasn't going spitting any potent lyrics like Esco, but if we're talking about production-wise, then I have to side a little with the album that sounded like a Wes Craven flick:wow:

IWW by a decent amount. Hell On Earth is my shyt too tho cant be mad at someone feelin that more.

I just think Nas was further ahead of them lyrically and flow wise moreso then they were ahead of him when it came to the beats on the albums. Havoc just couldnt hang lyrically back then even tho hes improved since then. P was spazzing out on that album tho sayin some wild ass shyt on like every track. Apostles Warning, Drop A Gem On Em, Still Shinin, GOD pt.III that album was definitely piff.

Still, IWW was and is still some next level shyt. Every track Nas was telling ridic stories while keeping the flow air tight. Shootouts, Suspect, I Gave You Power, Watch Dem, The Set Up, Black Girl Lost, The Message and even street dreams were all story tellin tracks and not just random rapping. Take It In Blood didnt have a story or subject but it was still piff and If I Ruled The World is dope too.

Gotta go with IWW

Prodigy has way more memorable verses than Nas from 1996. Not even close.

To you maybe, I don't think p had a better bragger rap then take it in blood, a story telling joint on par with shootouts or i gave you power, a better technical display then watch dem nikkas, or overall song writing on the level of nas at the time. Prodigy honestly had a delivery so ill it made his lyrics sound a lot better then they were. Havoc doesn't get enough credit in 96, even though on some songs he had the better verse.
