As a fan of lyrics, Chronic is by far the weakest. So that's my vote.

I suppose 36 Chambers has the weakest production.

36 Chambers is a perfect album. The production on there is mindblowing. So many essential timeless anthems on that album.
36 and Illmatic aren't going anywhere. It's a toss up between Chronic and RTD for me. Chronic to me is the more consistent album. RTD has some bumps but the highs are unbelievable. No pun intended.
I honestly can't call it.

As far as being essential to an artist's discography, 36 Chambers is by far the least important. There are multiple other Wu Tang solo projects that are on par with 36 Chambers.

I always thought 36 Chambers was more an introduction to Wu Tang than their defining work especially when the first generation of Wu Tang solos are far more important than 36 Chambers. Inspectah Deck and Method Man's best work is on 36 Chambers tho imo..


So I think losing 36 Chambers would hurt the least here. Its the only group album here too, which makes a difference (though it can argued The Chronic is a joint effort :sas2:) I cant imagine not having the other three albums. They all are a huge part of Dre, Nas, and Biggie's legacies.

Ready to Die gotta go bruh, if not then prob the Chronic, classic but i always preferred Doggystyle over it anyway. The other two albums raised me from like 9 to my early teens, everyday all day, they ain't leavin.

I'm surprised Ready 2 Die and 36 Chambers is so high in the votes.:ohhh:




Especially 36 Chambers, I always was thought the Booth had a favoritism bias for the Wu-Tang Clan.
