Wu was a legendary team built off of great indiviuals...but musically as a group...they nowhere close to top 5 in my book. They had one classic album, onereally good album and one recycle bin filler...as a group they not even on my radar.

Are they the best, most talented team/click in hip-hop history?....no question.

Matter fact I gotta revise that list check....I left out the whole reason I made this thread.

Edited.

This is a hard *** list to come up with.

But Wu don't deserve to be up there IMO....y'all judging them off of solo efforts not group collaborations.

 

[abeautifulhaze]

Is not seeing ATCQ, BN, MD or PE...EPMD maybe you can make a case for...but they was always great indiviual MCs before a great group to me. I got the Roots andKast before them.

1) Wu Tang

5) NWA

IMO

Even Wu solo joints are (were) collective Wu projects with a majority Wu "guest appearances" & in house production. It's all the same to me.
And Forever is a classic. The W is a banger.

By that argument...Roc-a-fella should be looked as a group, Duck Down has to be considered a group, The Dungeon Family, No Limit, Cash Money, etc....Thatain't fair to dudes that formed a choesive musical partnership and held it down year in and year out. Every member of the Wu has their own stlye andmission, they were united under Rza's vision to create a platform for the team to bracnh out.

Their solo albums are their solo albums and their group albums are their group albums....and I don't s think their 5 group efforts ae better than thenumerous classics from ATCQ, Gangstarr, OutKast, The Roots, PE, Brand Nub, De La, UGK, etc.
