I wouldn't say overall talent. Lyrically. Yes. He's the best lyricist out of all the Wu and they all pretty much acknowledge it. Overall talent tho? I wouldn't say he's the best. I may give that to prolly Ghost. Meth would be that nikka if he dropped better material.
Deck is probably the GOAT song starter. He always had the best first verses. Triumph. Guillotine. For Heaven's Sake...Deck always knew how to kick a song off.
Yea deck should technically be better then Raekwon but his albums are mediocre. He's def the better spitter for sure and legendary. & deck along with prodigy in his prime are some of the goat song starters.
& its wack that flood destroyed decks album would've been classic.
)I agree.
I do also think that if you look at the their prime ('93-'98) that GZA is the best raper on a technical level.
I think Rae and Ghost made the best solo album of the group with Cuban Linx, but at the same time, I think Liquid Swords is the definitive Wu-Tang album. Just because Cuban Linx had the mafioso theme, and didn't feel like as much of a Wu-Tang album as Liquid Swords did. Liquid Swords felt like an extension of the vibe of 36 Chambers, but sharper. I don't know if that makes any sense. Like...I think RZA was at his peak on Liquid Swords, and every single verse on Liquid Swordz is basically perfect, both from GZA and from all the other Wu members.
Plus the way he paints pictures is really dope.
"His Glock clicks like high heeled shoes on parquet floors."
Who thinks of that?
They did Deck dirty tho. His debut shouldn't have been affected by the flood. They should've dropped it in between Liquid Swords and Ironman when they had that big gap between releasesYea deck should technically be better then Raekwon but his albums are mediocre. He's def the better spitter for sure and legendary. & deck along with prodigy in his prime are some of the goat song starters.
One of the things you are right about
