    GZA is the best lyricist out of them, Ghostface has the best discography, RZA is the best producer. I would put RZA at #3 on my Wu-Tang list, he's not my favourite but you have to give respect where respect is due

    Illmatic is objectively a top 5 rap album OAT. Arguably the greatest rap album OAT (I prefer Madvillainy though). Illmatic is lyrically one of the best albums. Illmatic made every rapper step up their pen game. Illmatic is considered the bible of rap. Illmatic is the reason Nas is in almost everybody's top 5. Illmatic is the most influential rap album OAT. Come at me.

    Jay Z is one of the best rappers of the mid 90s to early 2000s and hasn’t made a deja vu/going through changes/rap god quality track in nearly 2 decades. he doesn’t deserve to be above em

    Yes he does. JAY-Z has a better discography, a better flow, he's a better lyricist, he's more consistent, more influential, better subject matter, more creative, more artistic, etc.

    Most of it is arguable but I would say they're true. Especially the better discography, better subject matter, and more influence. Those points are objectively true

    again, disagree wholeheartedly. maybe better subject matter if you’re black or need advice about how to blow millions of dollars on gaudy trash

    if you think em still believes that, or even did then and wasn’t just trying to be pc, then you don’t know him very well
