I can see how Masta Killa turns people off, but he's dope and lyrically sharp, and puts out great music. And No Said Date competes with your fav Wu album.
Plus to add info, he was brought in the fold by GZA, and no one was gonna challenge that. But KP, Timbo, Razah, Prodigal, Dreddy, 12 & 60 etc were all around for that first album. IMO, I think it came down to KP & Masta Killa because those 2 are stylistically different from the rest. The rest of Sunz/Royal Fam/BK Zoo are all traditional rappers, or you can pinpoint the influence of their styles.
