    My peoples, are you with me? Where you at?
    In the front, in the back, Killa Bees on attack
    My peoples, are you with me? Where you at?
    Smokin' meth, hittin' cats on the block with the gats

    Masta Killa:
    The flow changes like a chameleon
    Plays like a friend and stabs you like a dagger
    This technique attacks the immune system
    Disguised like a lie, paralysin' the victim
    I've been listening to this song for almost 30 years and I knew how tightly written Masta Killa's verse was. But I JUST peeped how deep these 4 bars are. Masta Killa is so overlooked and underrated, 2nd only to Deck
    Homicide's illegal and death is the penalty
    What justifies the homicide when he dies in his own iniquity?

      Not even Wu Tang compares to this! That said, it's unfair to compare everything to this. It's like saying rock music today is trash because there aren't any rock bands today that makes music as good as The Beatles 🤣
      I'm actually a fan of Wu Tang, and have a lot of love for them... But I do not think they are among the greatest. Why? They fell off so quickly! They've been releasing new albums every few years for almost three decades. How much of that is memorable? 36 Chambers is among the best of the best, but what about the albums released after that? They've been consistently mediocre. I'm only including group albums here. If we include solo albums, we are no longer talking about them as a group. (That said, I think Ghostface Killah has been extremely consistent with his solo catalogue.)

    This will forever be the hardest rap music video of all time. It didn't involve being in the streets or project hallways, but a chess board. Many still don't know that they represent chess pieces and that is why they are in black or white hoodies. This is 93, that was over people's head back then. Best set design in hip hop.

    2:34 made me sad, cause ODB introduced Ghost so humbly like he was fan. I mean I know he probably on something, but he definitely loved the Wu.
