'FishScale'

"Fish scale" is a term for a very pure form of cocaine. So you know.
It's confirmed, the Wu Tang Clan has the greatest group of albums from the members as solo artists. They've overtaken the Beatles.

No, the solo albums are simply better than the albums as the Wu Tang Clan. Of all the musical artists in the history of recorded music, no set of artists that at one time performed as a group has released a better set of albums as solo artists, instead of the group.

Clear as mud?

FishScale is fantastic. I listened and listened and I was exhausted afterwards. I was simply blown away. The rapid pace and longevity of their verses are mind blowing. Right when you think it'll go to the chorus or possibly pass the verse off to another rapper.

Instead, they go on and on.

"Big Girl" is simply a good song. Not a good hip-hop song. Not a good sample. You can put that song toe to toe with any other song in rap, pop, hip-hop or rock and it's just as good as anything else.
