I liked Leaders of the New School,well at least I did until Charlie Brown started acting like a bitch on YoMTV Raps.

I don't even have a close second. They're probably the only kats who's music I actually go out and BUY.


I guess Digital would be a distant 2nd. Those guys were great.

You know it was a long time ago if I mentioned Yo! MTV Raps.

Re: Favorite Rap Group of All-Time

When their stuff was coming out the Wu was my favorite but years later, looking back, they never fulfilled their potential IMO but then again what are the odds you're going to keep a 9-man group happy? I'll never forget when Forever came out in HS and some of my boys skipped school just to get the album first thing that day, crazy.

I think they did fulfill their potential. How can you not when you have this many classic albums under your belt:

36 Chambers
Tical
Return of the 36 Chambers
Only Built for Cuban Links
Liquid Swords
Ironman
Wu-Tang Forever
Supreme Clientele

No rap group can claim that many possible classics. Outkast and Tribe are the next closest.

Kriss Kross has to take it for me. But for real it would be tough to say Outkast although I really got into Bone Thugs when I was younger.

Wu Tang bitches.

In terms of rapping talent, the GZA, Deck, and Ghost all had the ability to be the GOAT. Rae, Meth, and Masta Killa were all very good, and Dirty at least kept it interesting. RZA is arguably the greatest producer of all time if you look at the work he did. Considering he didn't just produce an album every 5 years and put out 2-3 songs a year, but produce 95% of the songs for what, 7 CDs in 4-5 years is crazy.

My only problem is they didn't have another producer to do any of the early albums, leaving Masta and Deck without albums during the good years.

My friends and I skipped school for 12 Play, The Alkaholics, 36 Chambers, and other things like running hoops against the local college (Francis Marion), and eating buffets and running out on the bill. We missed more days of school my junior and senior years than we attended, but we still managed to graduate on time.
