black shampoo was the moment. bath and body works raps on the same album where rza and gza were shooting at Rap & Bullshyt. shyt was awful.

ugod always had a moment here and there tho. mystery of chessboxin, knuckleheadz, cherchez, etc. i think he was one of the most pleasant surprises on 8 diagrams, and his first album had some solid production. but overall, he was clearly the weakest link in the crew.

The real reason people started that narrative, but no one will admit to, is because of the argument he got into with Meth in The Show. Everybody I knew thought he was dope, then after that people turned on him because Meth was a fan favorite, and hip hop fans are emotional. He fairly regularly had the best verse on songs, but they tended to be shorter than some other members', so got discounted. Calling him the worst out of the clan is asinine.

I’ve heard it in regular conversations too, even different variations. Like I’ve hear β€œriver pronounced β€œwiver” and β€œviver” from black and white New Yorkers. I just figured it’s a dialect thing from the NYC area. Like people saying β€œtoo” as β€œtewww”.

i dont kno where you from but this is one of the wildest generalizations ive ever heard

mispronouncing B and R isnt a dialect its due to lisp

and NO we dont have this issue and NO we dont speak like that

your anecdotal evidence is nonexsistent

It wasn’t just the fans. In his book his said the other members would regularly roast him for his verses and kick him off songs. He said he was very stressed and insecure during this time. He even admits that he didn’t put it all together until the Forever album. That’s the first time he felt like he held his own.

Above the fray.
How could you not think he was wack?

On their very first record, he had the worst verse.
No stand out verses on the debut group album, and he was in a group with some of the best rappers of alltime. Even if he was halfway decent, he would have looked bad in comparison to them. But he wasn't very good.
