Favorite Second Wave Solo? (other than Supreme Clientele)
 

So yes, we all know that SC was easily the best of the second wave of solos, but what would be your favorite with that one excluded and why?

I'd probably take Method Man & Redman's "Blackout!" because it was very dark and clever. Meth and Red were a killer combo and they were on point for the whole album. The album flows better than most Wu albums, every track melts into the next perfectly and the production is brilliant and intricate.

What would be your choice and why?

In Stereo cause it impacted me the most Domestic Violence, Unspoken Word, Silkworm and Mantis thats a classic to me

[Killa Bamz]

Red dog Ebonese, half Gotti and Lebonese
You see me posted, lifted like my tape to text
Poverty projects son, and I ain't scared to talk
Newport, five percent of New York, spray darts
where you walk, cocoahead peers, throwin Shaolin spears
Floatin through the Village, trapped in design to shine
Pillage, war between the thug and the con
As for the father reborn, castle in the mind
Mind blind and captive, warfare be inner-active
Bamz is savage hard to substitute
Smoke the hydro root, in a casual suit
I'm tryin to walk these dogs but I'ma dog myself
Get my wealth for delf, hard rock crews is so-low
Stagnate, thoughts of payin dues
Gotta prop the holes in my suit, Bamz foot style
is Shaolin Isle, spend Valentine in the cooler
Get the CREAM dula, figures and dollars
Stuck I make a thug holla, swarmin the bees who rock the Walla
Po-Po lookin for collars, peep the whole scene
Make it happen, Shaolin, dart clappin
Prepare for this war we assassin, but now I'ma chill
for a minute, smoke bones of hydronetic and get pathetic
Sources is similar to full drum when we swarm
Rock my red cape like Spawn
Shaolin breathin in a hailstorm, teachers of Allah
know it's best to quote the topics
Shaolin trees from prophets, representin Shaolin
We gonna die for this, so don't you never fail
Like crews who soul miss, tamper doors open
and your death wish, peepin analyst
Bamz who got the mad new shit


[Cappadonna]

The pillage, the pillage, the pillage
Oceanwide, Donna on the outside
Cyanide, killa bee hive, homicide
His side is gone, it's on, my uniform is Uno
Acapella was take two, respect due
No commercial I teach though, I reach those
higher heights, mic to death, words of wisdom
Words of a architect strike, hype is the crowd
Down low is me, Bamz sugar free
Check we radical dub, nightclub punish the club
Attack hate runnin with love, better grub
Dick em down easy, past sound, pass out
Pass it around, grew up in The Tunnel
Tracks against Wu rap debut, top article
Spin it again, sign of the time rhyme
Top of the line, bottom of the Pyramids
Stretched in the alphabet, wet dust Moet, poet threat
Evil cassette wreck shows, rip any set
Direct approach coach a emcee, toast a emcee
Don't provoke me, toast to me W-T-C
Fade is still bushy, spot the best pussy
Keep my gears flashin, ready for the action
Fatal rap attraction, mic that rock the cradle
Razor Sharp label, ferryboat
Park Hill Gallo and the Sable
Martin Luther King Islam Rodney King
Two to four work release time in the bang
Big guns lawyers dirty cops naked in the box
Puerto Ricans, Africans, one Ox
Bowl of rice Trump, poor people
Plus meat that tastes lethal, we all not treated equal
The bible, the thirty-six tribal
Trials and tribulations, survival
Drugs as my retardation, masturbation
False identification, one nation
Blood, mud, water, togetherness
Terrorist, peace to all thug, Hennesey in the jug
Box cutter under the rug, that'll cut your whole mug
You bugged, kid, fuck off

"Nuff Said"

I'd probably say Blackout! doesn't count in this category because it's not even a Wu project. And The Pillage doesn't count cuz Cappadonna wasn't and still isn't a general. That leaves Tical 2000 and In Stereo. Both have 9 million skits, but I'm going to go with In Stereo because RZA shouts out Tarantino on My Lovin' is Digi. ??????

Uncontrolled Substance

Uncontrolled Substance! To me it´s one my all time favorite albums (Supreme Clientele is better!)
Would say it´s the 4th best WU solo album ever.

Liquid Swords as the 2nd round pick.

"The Pillage doesn't count cuz Cappadonna wasn't and still isn't a general."

Yes he is general since 2007 actually around 8 Diagrams. Y'all need to face facts that Cappadonna is a member.

"Q: Is Cappadonna now an official member of The Clan?

A: YES, Cappadonna is now an integral part of The Clan. He’s with us for many years now, but he has missed the beginning of The Clan because he was in jail. So he never signed a contract that would have made him an OFFICIAL MEMBER of The Clan. So back when I was still running Razor Sharp Records, I gave him a contract to give him a home. However, he never saw Wu-Tang Clan royalties. Now he’s an official member, even in legal terms. But for our fans he was part of the clan for the longest time anyway."

heres another 8D interview about guest spots

"R: Not really any mc`s, Streetlife is the only other mc on there that`s not signed on as a legal member and for the fans that ever wondered if Cappadonna is an official member, he is now officially and legally signed on as a member of Wu Tang we sorted that out this year, George Clinton’s on there, most people think he`s from the west coast but he`s from the East Coast his house is actually only a few miles from my house and George Clinton and ODB were really tight, they spent a lot of personal time together and cos ODB`s spirit is not here physically on this record you remember on Iron Flag when I had Flava Flav who`s just as wild, but to me George Clinton gave me some of that ODB flavour that you wouldn’t be able to get."

beneath the surface=period

Beneath the Surface for me definitely

No love for T2 eh? Meth is on fire on that album. Actually an underrated album in my opinion. Peace

Bobby D. Holocaust. Nuff said.

He blew it with all those skits. Once you get rid of all them it's a classic.

He's not a general and never will be. I don't care what RZA or that faggy interview says. Shut the fuck up.

tical 2000 no doubt.
