Ugods credits to 98 are:
Protect ya neck - one or the most classic bridges/defining wu slang with the suuuuuu call
Da mystery of chess boxin - i dont even love this verse as much as the world. His verse always quoted. Definition of a classic
Knuckleheadz - intro to the greatest solo album ever...
Investigative reports - one or best wu hooks ever
Black jesus - 5 star wu classic
Winter warz - wu/hip hop classic
Then he dropped wutang forever and DESTROYED it with deck. People bring up black shampoo like his verses on impossible, a better tomorrow and bells of war dont exist. It works for the album imo and if some rnb/rapper did same concept itd be a hit. He MURDERED method man on wtf. Not even close. Like dark matter said above, his shit is like a painting with all these scenes telling one story. SUPREME CLIENTELETE BEFORE SUPREME CLIENTELE....
Ugod got the shittiest rza beats yet on his album. To say he dont have the potential is asanine to me when tracks like bizarre, datz gangsta and pleasure or pain exist.
Ugod feels the other groups watered down the brand. I love sunz and oillarmy but the whole wu movement was confusing to the casual fan and those guys were a major part of the “wutang fell off” narrative. Idk how many times id see these “fake” wu albums at peoples houses and being told they suck and wu fell off. People think REDMAN is wutang, to say their was no confusion is just not paying attention.
I dont for a second think he thought priest/shabazz, sin were wack. But to say 9th , islord, werent is a lie. Mostly everyone else was average and below ugod level even. Noone brings these albums up cept wu fans. I love both groups but just watch the ODB/Royal fam performance from jones beach on youtube. Odb basically annoys timbo for mic and starts spitting “dead that wack shit..” and royal fam my fav wu killa bee group cohesion wise.
Killarmys 1st album is the ultimate zone out to production project. Maybe ugod wishes he got a wu tang records release before they got 2... or atleast capable production vs what he got. Idk. Didnt live his life wont say he wrong.
Problem with ugods album is he has 5 star joints like dayz gangsta and then 0 star joints like all the rza cuts. Rza was the executive producer and head of label. He should have cooked it longer consider chez chez was a hit months later...Decks album was consistantly average... no 5 star joints cuz rza gave them all away for other albums/artists. Decks collabs in 98/99 way hotter than his album.
