WU-TANG of course!!!!
|
Public Enemy.
Hard hitting. Conscious. Long lasting. |
NWA. no group has ever caught the nation's attention like them. Bringing the strength of street knowledge to the world.
|
Wu-Tang (with NWA second and Public Enemy third)
|
In terms of musical talent, it's Wu in a wash. Neither Public Enemy nor NWA even made a single album as good as Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, not to mention the full-group stuff.
If the question were intended to deal more with influence, or who was more important socially or musically, then it's much more interesting - I'd probably put Public Enemy as the most important group (in any genre) of the last 25 years, and NWA is in the top 10 or so. But in terms of who's "better" . . . it's almost unfair to compare Chuck D or Ice Cube to the technical ability of the top half of the Wu. |

with NWA 2nd and Public Enemy 3rd. |
this is kind of, i don't know...
i mean, they weren't really from the same time period. Taken collectively, they span almost 20 years, so it's a bit hard to compare them. Garth and RC make good points. But, "neither party is, not the jack-ass or the elephant" so and that's pretty much how I feel. Chuck-D should president. Or Ice Cube. I couldn't really see GZA in a meeting with Harper. I could (and would love to) see said meeting with Ice Cube. I think this thread begs a spin-off. |
