Wu-Tang Solo Albums (2000's) Ranked Worst to Best | Culturalist Theory

[@slimkilla321]

Pretty Tony album being that low is crazy lol

[@bluu_ice6554]

No it's not. That album was weak

[@charliemiles7072]

Pretty Tony was dog turd served warm on a cold plate

[@JEStheUniversual]

Pretty Toney record is 🔥🔥🔥 they buggin on the ranking here. It has one of Ghost best tracks ever with “Run”

[@gambitgrey3920]

Agreed... Strongly

[@husman3109]

That album was tuff. Biscuits, it’s over , beat the clock, be this way. Even the jawn wit missy was cool

[@forever8671]

That Pretty Toney album had some 🔥 on it.

[@tyronemccray692]

BulletProof Wallets and the Pretty Tony Album are both 🔥 you disrespected Ghost with those listings

[@goodvibestv707]

We all knew that Supreme Clientele By Ghost face Killah is number one because that was WU Tang Clan Comeback album

[@killakiss7410]

DUH

[@Dagrizzb]

The first track on that album (Nutmeg) sets the stage INCREDIBLY! That flute flutter on that beat sends me.

[@kingofwestbmore]

Awesome list! Bullet Proof wallet should’ve been higher but other than that, y’all nailed it

[@JalilN]

Theodore is my shit 🔥🔥

[@goodvibestv707]

Supreme Clientele Fishscale OB4CL 2 No Said Dates Pretty Tony album The Movement Bulletproof Wallets Digital Bullet

[@BillCagney]

Pretty good list but I always have Grandmasters with Gza/Muggs up higher on the list and it's very slept on IMO. That is his second best album after Liquid Swords IMO. I didn't like much Deck did after his debut unfortunately and that is crazy being I love him on features and the group albums, he is one of the best out of the crew lyrically but his albums lack compared to others.

[@blackice3395]

Ghostface should have had The top two spots with supreme clientele and fish scale

[@dmx7361]

How The Hell Tical 0 is better than Pretty Tony album ? Something don't seem right with this list

[@nevermind-9630]

IMO they’re pretty equal cause they have both some pretty hard tracks but some bad as well. Personally I prefer tical 0 cause meths my favorite rapper

[@3rdGenerationCancer]

Gotta stop the Ghostface disrespect. LOL 😉

[@oneemperial]

I liked the Ghostdini concept. I would love for him to do this again. Stay, Baby, lonely, Goner, Do Over?! This had some joints on there! Yeah, their were some skips. But we need a lil grown up music every once in a while. Stapleton Sex was out of pocket, though. Lol

[@JDaMonsta24]

I might be the only one who thinks “The Pretty Toney Album” is hard 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@hidephatl8053]

naw i love that album

[@treybanfield2084]

That album is one of his best. These lists be in some shit sometimes

[@volumeter5746]

You not wrong, I fw this channel heavily but their lists are so ass at times. The Pretty Toney album was critically acclaimed. Reviews and everything on the album were great. So idk what bro is talking about, The only truly questionable GFK album was Bulletproof Wallets but I heard that album got screwed by alot of the samples not being cleared. @@treybanfield2084

[@christopherkanyuka5389]

That album from start to finish was heavy.

[@videosurfah]

Not even boss

[@nintendork23]

i thought cappadonna was an official member of the clan?? it would make sense to include his albums

[@michaeljackson6613]

U God never gets his props. Even if you put him last in the clan he'll still bust 90% of rappers ass. He maybe 25 in my top 25 but with 1000 rappers out there that's still pretty good. I think beef with the clan at certain times and his labels not really promoting him, he never really reached his full potential. He really shines on wu albums and guest appearances most people agree.

[@noahegr3341]

Dopium, Pro Tools, The Movement and The Resident Patient are all massively underrated

[@seanjjpaul]

Great video!! Makes me want to dive back into their catalogue again

[@VinnieDangerous]

Ghostdini was lowkey dope. Not the best by a mile but a lot of sleeper joints on it. Pretty Tony & Bulletproof Wallets were decent

Real talk

[@malcolmlewis9658]

U must have missed Biscuits on Pretty Toney album

[@Mark-r6v9s]

Prequel is way too high and bulletproof wallets and pretty toney is way too low BUT the top 2 is right so…..

[@owensmith6215]

Dang I don't mind Pretty Tony. Run, Holla & Biscuits are great songs, the project is pretty solid overall and I really, really like Last Night for some reason. It's even put in the tracklist as a skit but I honestly think it's one of the highlights. Tush is trash but I chalk that up to a lot of rappers having an awkward "one for the ladies" which doesn't fit their style and persona which is very common in hip-hop albums in general. It's bad as a ghost album because he doesn't really get many chances to flex his storytelling or vivid imagery which are his strengths as a writer but I don't think it's a bad project at all. I've had it since high school and it still gets an occasional spin to this day despite undeniably being on the weaker end of his catalogue. I'd put it above Bulletproof Wallets, which I also think is a bit over-hated.

[@boosiebadassmann9773]

That Ghost face pretty tony album is decent. It got some 🔥 on that album if you ask me. Is just that it was way different from his other albums.

[@Triboro_Gigolo]

Y'all list is terrible, no way in hell is pretty toney album worst than any of those solo rza albums after bobby digital.

[@PoopFrogg1]

Yes…that Supreme Clientelle track list was HELL! 😂😂😂😂 I LOVE Cherchez La Ghost! 😂

[@TheJoe676767]

I don't know what more to say. I've been patiently waiting for this list and you guys did NOT disappoint!!

[@trumooch1]

Accurate list. I thought is was clever on how Raekwon sampled Elton John's "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" on that song "Kiss The Ring" on Only Built 4 Cuban Linx PT.II cd. Dope!

[@christopherkanyuka5389]

Naaaaaah The Pretty Toney album is way too low. That album had sick cuts like Be This Way and Run. IMO easily one of the best albums from 2000s WU. Yall got this one wrong

[@jsain360]

Be this way is my shit

[@christopherkanyuka5389]

@@jsain360 heavy banger.

[@nicholassimon1419]

Awesome list! I actually liked Pro Tools quite a lot, and I dug “life is a movie” especially. GZA spitting over Gary Numan was plain weird but I loved it

[@regulusstarseed1368]

[@O.J.S.]

Supreme Clientele is a Top 5 rap album of the 2000's PERIOD thus far.

[@princemastaking]

The RZA is my favorite out the clan. I absolutely love "Birth of a Prince" album along with his compilation album "The World According to RZA" that both came out in 2003. But after that "Digi Snacks" "Afro Samurai Resurrection" was not his best work, production wise he got too Hollywood and started experimenting with live bands. Not a good look at all. Plus I'm getting tired of the whole Bobby Digital persona as well. 👐

[@abizzle100]

Supreme clientele is arguably the best hip hop album released post 2000.

[@nickpeitchev7763]

College dropout better

[@oneemperial]

@@nickpeitchev7763 college dropout isn’t even Kanye’s best album, let alone best of the 2000s

@@oneemperial wrong on both counts

[@oneemperial]

@@nickpeitchev7763 I think Late Registration is a better and more complete album than College Dropout. But hey, agree to disagree 🤷🏽‍♂️ They are both great. I would listen to Supreme Clientele over both of them, though. I think it have aged better College Dropout. I don’t bump that shit no more

[@jamescasey2379]

Taking TPAB, Tetsuo and Youth, RTJ, GKMC, College Dropout, Graduation, and soooo many more easily

[@killakiss7410]

Pretty Tony album should've been way higher than that, and besides, the only weak song on that song was that Awful song with Missy Elliott

[@deviant4life25]

Quality Content as always. But deviant gotta ask for that E-40 and Too $hort list…. Tradition

[@kevinrobinson4848]

Real respectable list. That top 5 is almost perfect imo except I would have easily swapped More Fish and No Said Date positions. To me, outside of the obvious stars of that decade Ghost and Rae, I feel Masta Killa reped the Wu the best with his 1st two albums. I never thought I would love a Masta K album but NSD is a personal classic. I don't think I ever heard a U God solo album and obviously I was right on lol. Rza and Gza solos from that decade are forgettable and aight at best. Same with Meth solos. Outside his debut, honestly, his solos have been overall lackluster and weak to me. My top 5 2000 Wu solo would be: Supreme, No Said Date, OB4CL 2, Fishscale, and maybe Big Doe or Made in Brooklyn.

[@tumishomogano1574]

Facts

[@nikolaimyhre1187]

You should listen to some of U-Gods work though, especially since you enjoyed NSD. Dopium is his best album followed by Venom

[@kahjeemwilson9452]

Bulletproof Wallets in my top 10 of this list imo. It wasn't Ghostface's best of course but still a solid serviceable listen tho.

[@KodakKid]

I agree with the list entirely apart from Pretty Toney. That is probably right for number 6.

[@GioFukinton88]

Dam pretty Tony and bullet proof wallets blows lex diamond/protocols and tical prequel out the water and all those rza solos! Ghost switched it up the most and took risks but he still had bars and good replay value. I would put them at 10 and 11 at least. The Top 5 was accurate tho 🔥

[@HEEZTV]

PRETTY TONEY ALBUM 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Y’all need to hear that shit over again..

[@MEEZLEMONSTER]

Best 2000-decade Wu SOLO album cuts: "Silent" -- GZA feat. Ghost & Street prod. by Bink! "Is It Me?" -- Meth prod. by Scott Storch "Pop Shots" -- Dirty prod. by Premo "Gihad" -- Rae feat. Ghost prod. by Necro

[@BillCagney]

I see you mentioned the full collab and say it was the best output of the 2000s but it's not on the list (Gza and Muggs), glad to see you acknowledged that on here and I was looking for it but you gave it a mention on here and I agree it was the best output of the 2000s (For Gza at least). That album is 🔥 Overall a great list you put up especially the ones at the top.

[@jlaw6036]

Would be cool to do Def squad and hit squad ...solo albums

[@HBCSTL9587]

2005 GZA vs Muggs Grandmasters album. Should be #3 after Clientele and Cuban Links 2

[@BillCagney]

YES I just mentioned Grandmasters, that is his second best album after Liquid Swords IMO! I agree on the other two as well, you nailed it!

[@thablackkat9905]

That Masta Killa Wish Bone reference was EVERYTHING!!!!

[@rayedmonds6108]

Glad you mentioned the SC track listing. If I remember correctly, the songs were listed but the skits were not. So there were 21 tracks on the album but only like 13 songs listed on the back cover.

[@TalkingHip-Hop]

I listened to the movement for the first time this week and was surprised to see it so low I thought this album was awesome tbh, yeah the lyricism from Deck left me wanting a lot more but it was pretty well produced with a lot of swagger

[@isaiahedwards6586]

I slightly disagree, Never be the same again and Back like that were 🔥🔥bruh, Ghost fr found his niche mixing in R&B.

[@tubster105]

Cap not getting any respect still is crazy Manz was Wu before Wu was even a thing

[@BillCagney]

His best album by far was in 98 though, after The Pillage his solo LP's were not that great..... He also seemed to fall off as well after the 90s for some reason.
