Because of a certain someone we have to do it alllll over again.

Got to be Wu again... although Madlib's Quasimoto work makes it so difficult to choose.

**Janszoon** · 02-25-2011, 05:46 PM

Madlib by a longshot.

Charlemagne · 02-25-2011, 08:01 PM

Madlib...once again.

djchameleon · 02-26-2011, 05:18 AM

Madlib better win this time

Kirby · 02-26-2011, 05:46 AM

Wu-Tang.

Madlib's cool, but he would never get my vote over the Wu.

Looks like the two are destined for a draw.

OK, so there is a sense of incredulity amongst some respected posters that Wu Tang COULD beat Madlib. This surprises me. Madlib is great, his production is tip top and his work with Madvillian, Jaylib and Quasimoto is brill. But when considering the releases of Wu as a group, not to mention the solo work released by the likes of GZA, Method Man, Raekwon and Ghostface Killa... I think Wu take it. Plus, I may get shot for this one considering peoples love for Madlib... but I think RZA is equal to him as a producer.

if you consider all of the Wu's solo releases as part of the Wu-Tang catalogue, then the argument becomes semi-difficult. but, as i don't consider Liquid Swords or Iron Man as Wu-Tang Clan releases, the debate is quite simply ended.

Otis Jackson Jr. gets the nod.

RZA has always produced for some at least decent if not good rappers.

Madlib has prodcued some of the ****tiest artists(i'm looking at you strong arm steady) and still been able to make them sound good. He can produce anything.

RZA is still pretty awesome too though. This is intense poll.

What isnt Wu Tang about those albums?

A Wu member's album with guest appearances from pretty much the entire collective, produced by Rza, with explicit references, as well as sharing lyrical themes, to the Clan throughout?

As far as I'm concerned, they're just Wu-Tang albums with one member elevated to the foreground
