Best Rapper in the Wu

Come on, how sick are these lyrics, you can’t fuck with that!

They was told not to ride in Patty’s +Hearse+
and stay out of Charles’ +Manson+
Took Abraham’s +Lincoln+ through the Todd +Bridges+ espansion
Willis +Reid+s a map that marks the spot showin
On his left George +Burns+ a blunt William’s holdin
Tara +Bank+ed the money that Chaka +Khan+ed the poor
Alicia +Key+ed his car for givin Melbourne +Moore+
For the Redd +Foxx+ who bought off the block, but though twice
As Debora +Cox+ the gun cuz she beat Kelly’s +Price+
When Rosa +Park+ed the truck on the farm that Kim +Fields+
Linda +Tripp+ed for tryna to walk in Lauryn’s +Hills+
Water dripped outta Farrah’s +Fawcett+ in the glass
She was “Superfly”, Curtis +Mayfield+ her ass
Chris +Tucker+ to a show, Ted +Turner+ to a hoe
Robert +Diggs+ the beat, but ain’t feelin the flow
But he signed it fast, for half of Johnny’s +Cash+
+Nia Long+ed for the album to drop, cameras flashed
Tom +Sawyer+ at the Lucielle +Ball+ up at the foyer
He confronted Richard +Pryor+ to hiring his lawyer
Suge’s +Knight+ removed the rook off the board
Donna +King+ was checked and Al +Sharpton+ the sword

“Wettin cream, I aint wettin fame”
“Fame is the measure”
“Rap’s the lab”
“The place where stars are born”

[Verse 2]
The saints marched in, Kurtis +Blow+ing his horn
Tom +Cruise+d the boulevard, Chris +Rock+ed the song
For the hundredth time, they pressed rewind to the beginning
They toast to the rhyme, the juice spilt from John’s +Lennon+
They took her to Elizabeth +Taylor+ to dry clean
The lone seamstress, who was schemin on Al’s +Green+
You know they shoot for the stars and buckwild
Like the kids in the yard who play with +Jane’s Child+
A beautician laced Erykah’s +Badu+
Sean +Comb+ed through the evidence, just to get a clue
The needle in the haystack, from outta earth this kid
The tiger would kill him once thrown in Brad’s +Pitt+
Jesse +Owen+ the money from the weed Bubba +Sparxxx+
They was journeys seen far as he walked in Dick’s +Clark+
Jeffery +Lyons+ stuck with a thorn from George’s +Bush+
Paul +Pierce+d in the heart as the crowd pushed
Acting alone… Drew +Barrymore+ bones
of the victims, three blocks from Jim’s +Brownstone+
They shared the same bowl, he caught Natalie’s +Cole+d
The producer, threw the butter on Esther’s +Rolle+
Dempsey +Russel+ed him down, got his jaw wide
In a instant, Brooke +Shields+ him from the gunfire
Angie +Stone+d him to death, with those vocals
Keith +Sweat+ from the workout, just from runnin local

“With CREAM I ain’t with the fame”
“Fame is the measure”
“Rap’s the lab”
“The place where stars are born”

[Verse 3]
Larry’s +Bird+ flew outta Nicholas’ +Cage+
Joe +Tex+ messages from Satchel’s +Paige+
Betty +Wright+ letters with ink from Sean’s +Penn+
Infinite bars, you couldn’t tell where the song end
Glenn +Close+ enough to quickly duck the tapes
Richard +Gere+ ripped while he was climbin Bill +Gates+
He was a southerner, posing as a, native New Yorker
The Jason +Kidd+ took his first steps in Jimmy’s +Walker+
He stayed on line chattin with rap celebs
Used Bernie’s +Mack+ to search Veronica’s +Webb+
It cost them their life for the advice you gave
Now Pete +Rose+ lay on Vanessa’s +Redgrave+

“With CREAM I ain’t with the fame”
“Fame is the measure”
“Rap’s the lab”
“The place where stars are born”
“With CREAM I ain’t with the fame”
“Fame is the measure”
“Rap’s the lab”
“The place where stars are born”

By “this decade” I assume you mean 2000-2009, because the only album that has come out THIS DECADE (2010) is Wu-Massacre. But since I assume you mean from the 2000’s: I posted two songs off of Raekwon’s Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II (2009) and Fishscale (2006) from Ghostface. I also posted shit from Supreme Clientele (2000) Here’s something from 421: The Day After (2006) from Meth.

Legendary Hip-Hop collective Wu-Tang Clan have announced the release of Pollen: The Swarm Part 3, the third installment of the group’s swarm franchise.

The new album will feature appearances from Method Man, Ghostface Killah, RZA, Trife, Solomon Childs, Boy Jones, 12 oclock, Prodigal Sun, Killer Priest, Street Life, Remedy, JoJo Pelligrino, the Rev Burke, the late Ol Dirty Bastard and others.

“Wu-Tang is forever and we will continue to shine light and spread music to the world,” said executive producer The RZA, while co-executive producer Power added "as for anyone and anything else, you may need to refer back to the Wu-Tang’s first suggestion which is to certainly Protect Ya Neck.

Pollen: The Swarm Part 3 is due in stores on June 22nd, 2010.

And yes I meant 2010-2019…like I said fuckin posers.

(Only semi-serious about the fuckin posers part)

Fame and Knock Knock is 2002 off Legend of the Liquid Sword
0% Finance is 2008 off Pro Tools

So maybe you need to reavaluate your knowledge of the Wu

EDIT: Didn’t see your last post…

Anyways I made this thread for GZA who is expecting an album this fall, Pro Tools being the closest to 2010 as it was released in 2008.

Oh, you meant this?

And keep your eyes open for The Crystal Meth from the one and only Method Man later this year…

You guys get the good thread started after I’m gone…MOFO’s.

1- M-E-T-H-O-D…MANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN (REPEAT)

2- May not be the best with Lyrics but Big-Baby-Jesus aka ODB was the most fun to listen to.

Wow how did I miss this thread…

And after reading it I am thoroughly disappointed. Not only is GHOSTFACE KILLAH the best out of the Wu, he is the greatest story teller after Slick Rick. He consistently puts out quality work. When he is teamed up with Raekwon they are the best duo since Jadakiss and Styles P.

Shakey Dog (good lookin out DB) is a ridiculously vivid tale of a robbery gone wrong.

Walk Around describes the visceral reaction of killing someone in cold blood.

Who can forget this CRAZY promo video for Stapleton Sex for his album: Wizard of Poetry…TOTALLY NSFW

Ghostface is King of the Wu, with respect to everyone else previously mentioned. (excluding U God) WTF Wol?

I don’t know nuthin except that your fuckin avatar makes me want to wife a bitch. Who is that?

Yeah, GZA is my fave from Wu camp too! I like Ghostface and Raekwon as well. Method has that unique voice and Inspectah Deck had that ill flow!

Raekwon, Ghostface, Meth, ODB [yep] are my favourites. I haven’t really followed the solo output of the other dudes much at all, actually. I guess I lost? haha

But yeah I should really give GZA a better listen. Apparently Liquid Swords is the best Wu solo album.

Three way tie…

Liquid Swords
Only Built 4 Cuban Lynx
Return of the 36 Chambers

^ My favourite solo album is probably Supreme Clientele, personally.

Return to the 36 Chambers is amazing too, but it’s not really something you can listen to a lot.

^You speak madness LD Return of the 36 stayed on repeat in my CD player back in the day. But to each his own.

As far as solo Attempts are concerned I thought we were talking about debut solo albums. In that case I gotta go with The Pretty Tony Album. That album was straight fire from beginning to end.

You mean you can’t listen to this over and over?

Given that pretty much every album is virtually a Wu-Tang album rather than a solo, since they’re all on each other’s albums for the most part, the Wu-Tang can legitimately lay claim to having released more quality shit than ANY other rapper, group or collective in hip hop. In fact, it’s not even close. Look at all the quality albums: between the Wu Tang albums and each of the really good solo albums, there’s at least a dozen high quality albums, and there’s still more on the way. No other rapper/hip hop group can say that.

Where do you guys get these old/underground albums from? Do you torrent 'em or what?
