    Default which was worse?

    iron flag or 8 diagrams?


    i vote 8 diagrams...rza went coocoo for cocoa puffs on the beat selection, ghost didnt even rap on the ODB tribute track (which i think is REALLY fucked up) and thumbs down to all of them for not knockin some sense into the rza on the beats FOREAL, thats what let me down for the most part...it started off good cuz Campfire is actually a good track, but the rest of it was just sooooo boooooorrrriiiiiing....

    personally I think "Iron Flag" was much worse but on the other hand I really liked "8 Diagrams" as an album...

    Iron Flag is bottom Wu-Tang album for me, while 8 Diagrams is top notch along with 36 and Forever.

    lol again this thread will provide all sorts of different answers

    on one hand we have an album that is half classic, and has the other half strugglin' with poor or just non-wu beats, that didn't work out in any way

    the other hand provides us with some really good beats, but some performances were wack [INS and Cappa for me were disappointing], plus RZA fucking up some things too... let's not forget Ghost and Rae feuding lol.

    Ghost, GZA and Uey, like always, pretty much killed the album tho.




    And now, ta-ta-tahhh, the grand finale - I like both albums more than The W. All three of these are disappointing in a way, but at least, they are still listenable and doper than most people think.

    I guess I'm maybe the only one that thinks like that, .... but I rather enjoy what I can get than nag about trivial things or past greatness.....
    bring back begongo!!

    I still don't understand the hate Iron Flag gets. Yes it has its flaws but it has a lot of dope tracks. Iron Flag is much better than 8 Diagrams to me.

    I've listened to it only for 2 weeks after buying it, that's all, no standout tracks. Iron Flag such classic or bangin tracks like Babies, Iron Flag, Ya'll Been Warned, Rules or In The Hood, I listen to them quite often

    You're actually saying Forever is worse... I'm not hating your opinion, I'm hating your choice of words "Forever is worse"
