It is my personal favorite.

Best rap album ever hands down. Nothing comes close and still way ahead of its time. The beats the lyrics the sound... AMAZING. R.I.P ODB

Crazy that this sold over 5 million copies and still feels underrated!

Don Universo · 07-29-2011, 06:58 PM

The next album better be a dub cd like forever. Best clan album group or solo.

Wu-Tang Forever is my favorite album of all time, but I wouldn't say it's the greatest lyrically. It's the type of album that has a feel to it every time you play it tho. It's just so fucking ill.

justice sword · 08-01-2011, 06:50 PM

lyrics to HEATERZ are next level.and the delivery and dimeaner of all mc's in the track follow perfectly. maybe my favorite track all time

This is the truest statement I've read in quite some time

I agree. Wu reached the highest popularity level in 1997. people were buying that record thinking it was just going to be another "rap album" with cool beats. I was just a kid when it came out, but I remember seeing people buying that record (mostly white folks) and talking about it in school.

anyway, lyrically...it'd be blasphemy not to give it to Nas' Illmatic. but that's not a fair comparison, since Wu has 9 MCs and it's a double-album.

Dont think there is an answer to this. What is the best book ever written? Who was the hottest chick ever born?
But a masterpiece it is, lyrically and musically. And my personal favorite. So I voted yes.

Peace.

tekunique · 08-02-2011, 07:58 PM

correct me if im wrong but i think it was the first double disc sophomore album that went straight to #1 on the billboard top 200 with a single that doesnt have a chorus, just 10 MCs spittin verses, [sides Dirty] lol

Mumm Ra · 08-03-2011, 07:05 AM

yes its the best ever

claaa7 · 08-03-2011, 07:13 AM

it is my personal choice, no doubt. as Wu-Tang is my favorite group of all time, and features 9 extremely skilled rappers that all are unique and stand out in their own way who almost all peaked lyrically in 1997.

i love how RZA designed very minimalistic beats, stripping them free of samples. real back to basic shit, some tracks are little more than hard drums and a bassline. some may call it hollow but the reason it sounds like this is to put the MC's on the forefront. and it really works. i love the beats on the LP too however.

Lyrically it's the best Wu-Tang group album. Everyone saying 36 Chambers is better lyrically is just stupid. Everyone was a better MC at the time. Especially Deck, GZA & Ghostface. Also production got even better then it already was. Wu-Tang Forever >>>>>> 36 Chambers when it comes to lyrics & production. It's not the most lyrical album though. Liquid Swords by GZA, Illmatic by Nas & Rip the Jacker by Canibus (don't hate on the guy, he is a lyrical genius) are more lyrical.

yes "lyrically" & "production," so it is the best album in hip-hop history. fuck the dumb shit
