    That's as a rapper of course.


    ODB was not better than bobby
    masta killa is in the running for wackest rapper of all time him and ugod

    ODB had some of the greatest flows ever... he's one of the best in Wu-Tang. And Masta is dope as hell. RZA has never impressed me as a lyricist. But he's certainly better than U-? ...

    didn't odb steal his rhymes from gza ?
    and masta ? almost single handedly killed triumph with that wack ass verse
    he's like a human buzz ? . I mean he did have a better lp than ugod. I mean why waste all those dope ass beats when u got 5 dumb nice dudes on ya team ?

    He used some of GZA's B lines and made them classics. That's dope as hell.

    Masta's verse on Winter Warz > Cappa's verse that everyone always talks about. And his verse on Triumph was nice, but certainly not his best:

    "Light is provided through sparks of energy
    From the mind that travels in rhyme form
    Giving sight to the blind
    The dumb are mostly intrigued by the drum
    Death only one can save self from
    This relentless attack of the track spares none"

    masta killa almost ? up another track i mean he was prolly there when they recorded the track and those dust blunts got dudes to put him on the song deck ? rza hell the hook was better than his verse lol
    i respect your respect for masta tho but nah man i can't co sign that at all

    How is he not?

    He made a name for himself and developed his sound/style way before Ross, the MMG thing was just a business move

    Drake, Pusha T and 50 made names for themselves before signing with their respective teams, but are still considered proteges. In all actuality all artist make a name for themselves elsewhere or they would never get signed.

    How is working with Wale advantages to Rick Ross, Wale's career was furthered under the tutelage of Rick Ross, Wale’s debut album, “Attention Deficit,” sold 28k in the first week of sales in November 2009. Wale followed that up with his sophomore album, “Ambition,” which sold 164k record in the first week of sales

    You see what I did there? Stated facts!

    I'll give you Inspectah Deck over Rza but Gza and ODB and Rza came up together. I think MK is dope but I don't think he's better than Rza.

    I would've cosigned except for the bolded. I ? with Meek but I haven't heard his best track ? with the plethora of hot ? Ross has been dropping.

    To the cat that said Obie > Em...? damn man, since the time Obie really came into prominence? CO-? -SIGN. I personally feel Obie is underrated, he makes that heartfelt, introspective, real ? . Word to that stan ? . But really, I think that's a masterful example. I wonder why he got dropped...

    @icecoldstew

    Full catalogue taken into consideration? Agreed.

    Cheers dropped in '03, Encore dropped in '04. I honestly stopped feeling Em as much after MMLP, but TES did have some good songs. What i'm really getting at is that for the 2 albums that Obie dropped post MMLP, I felt they were superior to what Em was doing at the time. Now Obie might say that his mentor was on the top of his game from TES until Obie departed, i'd have to disagree just off of what Obie put out. I do think Obie learned a lot from Em tho, which I guess factors in.
