    Well for the sake of your argument, you nulled Killah Priest cause he was down with Wu-Tang. I'll say Wu got stronger lyricists. Outta Canibus, Kurupt, and Ras, the only one I see seriously competing with any of the Wu lyricist (GZA, Deck, Rae, Ghost, and on the lo lo...Mef) is Canibus.

    Killah Priest was a Wu affiliate not an actual member.


    As for the thread Wu>>

    Gza technically is the best member of the group but he lacks a consistent flow and presence on the mic.

    Rza word play is dope but his flow is weak as ? , he really needs to use his old Rza rector style.

    Method Man is the most complete member of the group, best flow in the group, voice, delivery, lyrics, he is the total package.

    Raekwon metaphors, punchlines and flow be on point

    Ghostface the best storyteller in the group and most consistent when it comes to the albums.

    Inspectah Deck Similar to Method Man in terms of being the total package of an MC, but he just never blew.

    GZa is by far the best in the Wu, and I'll say that he is no better than Kurupt who is HRSMN worst member lyrically in their prime. IMO HRSMN ? all over Wu lyrically, Canibus already took on the whole Wu and was only mathced by Killah Priest who is in HRSMN. Canibus is arguably (I say the undisputed) greatest lyricist of all time. Ras in his prime >>>>>>>>>>all of Wu as does Killah Priest. HRSMN take this easy, they'd probably ether Wu tbh.

    Wu wins this easily, any group with Canibus in it is going to lose regardless

    Deck aint no complete MC or similiar to Mef. Dude could give you a decent 16 and that's about it. No personality, no presence, no stand-out voice etc. Dude had decent lyrics. Nothing about him stood out which is why he never blew up.

    4 Horsemen and it's not even close. GZA's the only heavyweight in Wu-tang, and he's worse than everyone in the HRSMN, Bis and Priest definitely, and Kurupt and Kass arguably.

    Wu Tang in their prime all day over any group. 4 Horsemen is dope but naaaaah. they aint seeing wu. Deck and ? in their prime can keep up with all of the horsemen members. Dont get me started on GZA. yall ? must of forgot RZA can rhyme too. Master Killa and U ? are waaaaaay underated they could take down Ras Kass and Kurupt. ODB's drunken master flow would give the horsemen problems. Ghostface and Rae tag team is nothing nice either. Dont get me wrong the horsemen are dope. Hell they got that mad scientist Bis with em but they cant ? with the wu. when those 9 ? combine they are unstoppable

    for the sake of logic, Bis beat all of the Wu in a freestyle battle so... logically the 4 HRSMN is better... BUT i honestly think the Wu is better for reasons Jamacia stated; GZA can best all of em (cept maybe Killah Priest in which case i'd say it's a tie)
