Sandman, Bloodclot, Mef vs Chef, Bring the Pain, Tical - I mean I love Nas and IWW but I see dudes simply naming the IWW tracklisting as if it's an argument. As if Tical is full of filler.
Really just depends on the mood - grimey hardcore = Tical. Smooth = IWW. Gun to my head I'll go with Tical.
Both albums kind of suprised the audience. People thought Meth was the popstar of Wu and he gave them the darkest album. People expected Nas to stay on that NY Pete Rock/Premier shyt and he went with the Trackmasters - I agree with posters saying that the actual subject matter of IWW isn't that different, it's just that Nas had seen some money at this point and he added the perspective of being rich (which he wasn't yet) to the mix. Illmatic was also on that gangster shyt but usually from the broke nicca perspective.
