its pretty easy to see who is a better mc, wordplay, flow, creativity, punches etc. but if youre feelin hav more thats all good, i have no way in that. i'll say this tho, real mcees, lyricists, true hip hop fans/supporters, most will agree that prodigy is the better mc out of the 2. :) |
although they both now suck, prodigy ate up havoc all over the first three albums -- it's not even close. for a producer, h was pretty solid though.

Hip Hop isnt dead. Underground still exist.
Common
Mos Def
Dilated Peoples
Gangstarr
Imortal technique
Roots
Jurassic 5
Dead Prez
and whats everyone take on Gnarles Barkley?
its very differnt from what you constantly hear now a days |
gnarls barkley = overrated
common sense has become a pansy-ass punk over the last 10 years -- what happened to the dude that made joints like soul by the pound..
mos def is inferior to talib, though he's still quality.
immortal technique has gone down the tubes: the middle passage is taking way longer to drop, his live shows have been stagnant, repetitive and populated by suburban frat boys, and he seems to be ting on his values [interviews/pictorials in playboy; distribution deals with babygrande and talks with majors, etc.] |

Well... to be honest, I never thought either was anyhting fantastic. But I do like Havoc more. But... young Prodigy's voice is so good. He could've been saying nursery rhymes and it would've sounded good with that voice. |

who would've thought that the wu member with the most questionable skills and nonsensical rhymes would, ten years after the group's peak, be the only one putting out decent records and maintaining a small but loyal following... |

i agree with the first part, ghost was shaky on the debut.. BUT Wu's been on point lately. starting with Masta Killa's debut in 2004's No Said Date, a near classic album. then GZA's collaboration album with DJ Muggs 'Grandmasters' which is an INSTANT classic dropped late last yeart. tho Muggs beats resemble RZA/4th Deciple/Mathematics/Tru Master's its impossible to dislike. and this year with Ghost's Fishscale which is just ridiculous. Raekwon's OB4CL pt. 2 scheduled to drop soon its looking good for the wu.
