Wu
New Weird America describes a subgenre of psychedelic and indie music, often psych folk, of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
^ Shut up.
Wu-Tang.
NWA
Public Enemy over both
NWA

NWA. They had more swang to them. Wu was just straight up dog . And yes, the Mighty PE over bof
HOOBASTANK
Wu - better beats and rhymes.
wu-tang
NWA. Cube, Ren, and Eazy are three of the greatest MCs ever in the game. Too bad Ren got fat and his voice changed and delivery got lazy by the time he started doing solo albums (though the first, Kizzmyblackazz, was a pretty solid EP).
Their beats were TOO monotonous. Go back and listen. Its like boom, boom, boom, boooooooooooooooooooooooooom. (repeat 100x) and rap to it.
Gotta disagree on Wu-Tang, as Enter the 36 Chambers, Liquid Swords, Tical, and Return to the 36 Chambers were incredible albums. I do have to agree with PE over both though; their first four albums pretty much kill any other rapper's entire discography (well, other than Rakim and KRS).NWA. They had more swang to them.

You just described Dre to a T.Their beats were TOO monotonous. Go back and listen. Its like boom, boom, boom, boooooooooooooooooooooooooom. (repeat 100x) and rap to it.
Yeah, I can't think of any time NWA had any kind of complicated beat, and on Dre's solo he'd just sample a few seconds of Parliament and then loop it forever. Didn't matter much though since Cube, Eazy, Ren, and Snoop were such talented lyricists.
Love that .Gotta disagree on Wu-Tang, as Enter the 36 Chambers, Liquid Swords, Tical, and Return to the 36 Chambers: The Dirty Versionwere incredible albums.

tbh i thought lebomb would be all about this:
Wu-Tang.
But for me that has as much to do with how rap changed in general as it does with the individual talents of each group's members.
Love Wu Tang, but I gotta go with the OGs.
ice cube>>>>>>>>>wu tang as a group
NWA because i love 90's west coast hip hop. also, nwa are pioneers to gangsta rap, most controversial group of all time and have done more for hip hop than them dirty s from staten island. snoop, nate dogg, mack 10, btnh, eminem, 50 cent, etc etc all fall under the nwa family tree.
questlove said it best "hip hop has 2 halves, before nwa and after nwa" true story.
Can't go wrong with either....both great, maybe a tie.
I look at it like this: NWA were the pioneers of west coast rap. While the Wu were not on east coast hip-hop, many others paved the way for them. That's not their fault, but to me it breaks the tie.
This thread is getting me more pumped for the Ice Cube, Public Enemy, De La Soul, and LL Cool J show in Austin in a few months.
same here. show is at stubbs so probably gonna sell out pretty quick.
