Just go through the main members classic albums mate. Those ones I listed for a start.

U-god's voice for sure. I think Deck had a unique choppy style flow that was unmistakable. MK was just kinda there with U-god and not represented like some of the others. Plus, I never heard a solo album by him so that's a tough one. You could tell who was rapping each verse on a Wu album and it had more to do with just their voice.

In case you didnt realize I just agreed with your previous statement and expanded on it.

I can't wait for you to do Danny Brown who is another close contender for favourite,

man i'm gonna have to break the rules for this one cause i've never heard of this dude and honestly he's flawless. i would try to come up with a witty way to diss his looks instead, but it feels like all the buckwheat references in the world couldn't do this picture justice:

and I want to see you **** on some classics like Wu Tang or Public Enemy.

wu tang: failed to live up to their true potential because they let greed get in the way. really it's ****in hard to have a group with 9 members and not have the **** go downhill so that was sort of a poor plan in the first place. they did make it big so people will say it worked but they didn't do what they set out to do which was to build a hip hop empire with a solid foundation that keeps building on itself. instead they had certain members who shined more than others and got anxious to get that solo money so they broke off with it. rza was the genuis that masterminded it all and held the group together initially but eventually i think it's rza that hold the group back from making good music together in the modern day. he is a stubborn man and when he has a certain vision he sticks to it, and to be honest he's really eccentric and into that kung fu **** hard core and it does work to a certain extent but then there comes a point where its just too nerdy and obscure to be good hip hop. it's sort of like how coltrane drove away a lot of his fans in his later years exploring the limits of jazz because the end product was an unlistenable sequence of loud saxophone squeals.

public enemy: honestly this group is just chuck d shouting sometimes intelligent, sometimes ignorant political opinions at you while flava flav dances around with a clock hanging from his neck. probably was monumental at the time but nowadays people listen to it more because of hype than anything else.

JWB try out Earl Sweatshirt

mos def is a moron who is very good at sounding intelligent to white liberals who wanna give him the benefit of the doubt. he showed his true face on bill maher a couple times and it was just embarrassing. also he's all about that afrocentric bull**** where he puts any and every failure he or any other black person ever endures as the white man trying to hold him down. this kind of person is honestly a walking contradiction cause they claim to disregard the white man's superiority while at the same time placing him in the position of an omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent villain that controls everything at all times which is of course how he keeps the brotha down.

i know it's lazy but honestly some of these rappers fail to distinguish themselves in any meaningful way so i'll throw them in a category together.

Eh I always thought Earl was leagues ahead of Tyler, plus Doris didn't have any of that ****.

i never looked into his solo **** beyond his first album cause he really didn't impress me that much tbh. he's a talented kid but i'm waiting for him to have something interesting to say... i think im probably too old to listen to that kind of music. i probably would have loved it when i was 12.

Is this a sneaky way to get hip hop recommendations?

Billy Woods (he's also a member of Armand Hammer)
