tribe called quest >>>>

Wu, Outkast, & Tribe >>>

yea, i feel like a lot of people havent delved into his solo career past Stay Trippy, but when you look into his work there are so many classics the past decade like Shutdafukup, Highly Intoxidated, The Hustle Continues, and even recently The Ravenite Social Club is fantastic

Kinda a lot of filler in his 2010-now discog but there are some great tapes in there man

Wu’s downfall is that they only have a few classics within an ocean of a discography. Their debut group album is classic. The debut solos from Gza, Rae and ghost are classic. Rae has OB4CL2 after that. And ghost has a few great albums solo wise even though he’s admittedly said he’s was yelling about nothing on albums like Supreme clientele.

I was waiting for THC for years and it didn’t disappoint

Especially the deluxe

Another day another sample

SC is probably my favorite performance on a rap album ever S*** is like an abstract painting. Also he has 3 classics at least: SC/Ironman/Fishscale are all certified

Just remembered that whether or not albums are classics was something ppl argued about all the time on KTT1.

Don’t see that much anymore did we figure it out?

I don't know if the best, but definitely up there in top 3 next to wu-tang, even though they have a bigger catalog than wu-tang, and arguably a bigger influence than the other groups, many of their songs are generic and boring, but it's because they dropped so many albums and mixtapes

the bassline on smoking on a j does things to me

This is so dope

Yes and No

Three 6 did an amazing flip of the same sample, but its actually Rodney O and Joe Cooley who did it first

(This beat is so incredible man can you believe this was made in the 80s?)

Dann thats dope. Didn’t know that

Yep, been flipped a bunch! What’s really dope is that on Like That, Metro alsl sampled the “eazy!” chant from NWA, in a super similar way that Three 6 also sampled them on Ridin Spinnerz.

So in a way he did kinda sample them, or almost did lol
