The best Wu member solo album?
Orihuelo
Can anyone give me a description of the solo albums performed by the Wu
Tang Clan members?, especially from the Method Man and Raekwon.
Here in Spain is hard to find hip hop records, and I have never heard
Method Man, and the only thing I heard from Raekwon is his verse in the
song "Winter Warz" with Ghostface Killer.
I would like to know the style of rappin' and the subjects of the lyrics
of the two guyz, before buying one or another record.
Thanks.

Im sorry to hear that you all haven't heard Meth or Rae...You don't know
what you are missing. Method Man and Raekwon are both must haves if you
are a Wu fan. Its hard for me to describe them I just can't think of
what to say other then they are a must for your hip-hop collection.

My vote goes to Raekwon. I liked Meth's album, but it seemed it was rushed.

Raekwon - he raps about the g's: guns and grams
Ghostface Killa - he got kind of a Raekwon-ish style
U-God - He is so ill, he don't get much verses on any albums, tho
Ol Dirty - He is RAW. "I been on welfare since I came out my mama's pussy."
Method Man - He is smooth, with a tight delivery
Inspeckta Deck - he flows quick, with good lyrics, one of da best!!
Masta Killa - He is on some medical-type shit, but he is good
Gza - one of the best lyricists of all time, phat lyrics!!!
Rza - he is one of my favorite Clan members, very nice shit...
Peace, Chris...................

Uhhh, don't they all seem a bit rushed? I mean, 6 albums in 2.5 years?
I'm all for talented musicians putting out LOTS of quality music, but I
think RZA and all the other producers are just saturating the market with
a lot of poor shit to take advantage of the Wu's temporary popularity,
which in my opinion, is unfounded.

All Wu member albums so far has been really good, they werent rushed.
Raekwons was the best.
DJ Evan
The best is there new joint called America.
Matthew Villa
The Genius's album was the best. I'm still listening to the CD. Raekwon's
album would be 2nd for best wu solo prodject, But Method Man's album was
really the only solo project since most of the tracks are solo. The GZA
and Raekwon's album's were filled with guest artists on almost every cut.

When you play Meths album, the music is louder than his voice. Thats why I said it sounded a bit
rushed. Also if RZA can produce 6 albums in 2.5 years, more power to him. Are you sayin' that
Rae's, Ol Dirty's and GZA'a album were not quality music?

Out of the four solo Wu albums, I have 3. Those would be Method Man,
Raekwon featuring Ghost Face and Ol' Dirty Bastard.
Method Man's lyrics are really versatile. He never rhumes about just one
thong on his album. It can switch from talkin' about his girlfriend in
"All I Need" to braggin' about himself in "I Get My Thang In Action". All
in all, the album is on point with the beats and lyrics. There is one
song on the album that I cannot stand which is "Sub Crazy". It sounds mad
rushed and the beat is just real bad to me. Beside that, the album is
nice to have in your collection.
Raekwon and Ghost Face's album are ideal if you are into the lyrical drug
dealin' / mafioso / jewelry buyin' type atmosphere that dominates right
now. That is not what is the content of every single joint, but most of
it is. But that is not what made it one of the best albums of 1995. It
is the fact that EVERY SINGLE BEAT on the album was butta. The Rza pulled
no stops on this one. Some of the gems on that album are "Wu Gambinos",
"Criminology" and "Spot Rusherz". I don't know if it has reached
"classic" status yet, but it is a MUST to own.

The Genius Album beats Raekwon's slightly because of the experimental
beats and the Genius' lyrical style and delivery. There is not a wack
song on the album. It is a "classic" Personally I thought Old D B album
was a little wack, there is only a few good songs and it is hard to
listen to the whole album all the way through.

I am a BIG fan of Wu Tang. They are probably my
favorite group. Right now I have all their albums
and cant wait for their new releases.
The best solo album in my opinion is GZA/Genius
Liquid Swords. The lyrics in this album out do the
rest. Infact, this is one of my favorite CDs of all
time. This album defines what rap and its lyrical
style is all about. My favorite tracks are
"Shadowboxin", "4th Chamber", "Duel of the Iron Mic",
"Liquid Swords", and "BIBLE".
The thing that really hits me about this album is its
deep lyrics. "..so deep its picked up on radios in
tunnels" (Gza).
THIS is a definite get.
Haitian Sensation
Sorry but my ballot goes to Lou Diamonds.... Those linxs were way
to tight for me....
Rodney Brown
I dunno, Gza had the lyrics, Raekwon, I listened to that sooo much when
I got it but Rae & Ghost say a lot of stuff, but they got no deep
lyrics like "...strictly bass on keyboards, unbalanced like elephants
and ants on see-saws." - Gza.
This is how I rate 'em:
1. Gza
2. Raekwon
3. Ol' Dirty
4. Method Man (mr. sandman was DA BOMB tho!!!)

I disagree Rae's album had far superior beats and a stronger sense of
unity with all the samples being used, GZA is tighter lyrically but the
production on Rae's album was without a doubt the best.
