Did Rae, GFK, GZA, OdB all dropping better albums than Meth hurt his legacy?

[DMR]

hell yeah tical better than ironman!

track for track:
tical - bring the pain, all i need, meth vs chef, release yo delf
ironman - winter warz, daytona 500, all that i got is you

other tracks from these albums were nice or alright but nothing really special which makes for about 14 not that special tracks in ironman and 9 for tical

Tical 0 was a big let down, i ripped off the plastic thinking it was gonna be a banger...i couldn't even force my self to like it...tracks like 'who u rollin wit' , the cheesy keyboard intro, that silly/goofy rick rock track...shyt was a disaster. the played out/weak ass punchlines smh. I heard a lot of wack albums but damn..even da outsidaz da bricks was better. ...he didn't even put "Uh-Huh" on the album.

and what's with this new drug dealer m.c thing?

nikkas didn't give busta a pass...


ps: Tical better than Ironman ....riiiiiiggght

Tical was dope but it's not fukking with Ironman. No way.

Tical 2000 was great. If you take off the skits, you have a very potent album. After Supreme, it's the best sophomore album from the Wu solos.

Tical 0 was the most disappointing Wu album I ever heard. Horrid. That album did more to tarnish his legacy than anything. Just a sorry piece of shyt album.

Meth knows he doesn't have a classic and even stated as such. He's working on making Crystal Meth his first universally hailed hip hop classic. He's easily one of the greatest 50 MC's ever. His charisma, voice, flow, creativity and wordplay is a potent mix, but his lack of verses telling stories or delving deep into one particular subject is what prevents him from breaking into that Top 20 GOAT MC's ever conversation imo.

Tical 0

Meth wanted to have RZA executive produce the album, but Def Jam made him use Diddy. I still think half the album was straight though. My mind a little foggy now, but there were certain tracks that were supposed to be on that album

Tical is a classic, and it belongs in the same category as the other classic wu solos.

Tical better than Ironman?

Actually I agree with this, I think Ironman is a little overrated to me to be honest, Tical was very dope and I think it's underrated in terms of capturing that grimey NY sound.

motherless child "weak"?

Ehhhh...maybe. It's all opinions but "weak" is harsh. I love that track.

well compared to the other songs on the album. Its a good song imo

 

[Danie84]

Of course not.

Everytime a member dropped their classic debut spearheaded by The RZA, it only enhanced the Wu legacy. And since, everyone's infatuated with numbers Meth still sold more than the other generals. However, numbers doesn't equate to the value of a classic.

[NYC Rebel]

Meth's first album was a huge letdown.

I think people realized that he's a better posse MC than one that could do it alone for a full LP.

"I want my classic LP, the five-mic-er for myself. Not based on The Source's five mics but a five-mic-er to myself. I don't feel like I have to prove myself to anybody. But I feel like I have to prove myself to myself" - Method Man in 2010
