impossible and unfair decision. Went with Dre, cuz I bumped this track till the tape broke, and then bought the cd... but the :wutang: factor should carry Protect Ya Neck through this round anyway.

Had it been Da Mystery of Chessboxin', METHOD Man, or C.R.E.A.M. I'd have voted :wutang:

"Let Me Ride" - for the superior song and for the when 'Cube made his post-beef cameo at the end where he walks outta the room full of hoes with a picked 'fro and a Stussy tee and sez damn right it was a good day.

I still listen to "Cuban Linx" and "Liquid Swords" and "Iron Man" and some old ODB but "36 Chambers" and the old Wu in general is bores me nowadays other than "C.R.E.A.M".

I always want the CD to pause for this.

"Let me Ride" is a suburban slappa, but I can't choose against "First thing's first man your ERNGH! with the worst"

Protect Ya Neck is one of my favorite Wu tracks. Let Me Ride is indeed the shit, but the Wu takes it.

'Let Me Ride' is the only song I still listen to from 'The Chronic' - amazing track.

'Protect Ya Neck' definitely gets my vote though. Stickin pins in ya head like a fucking nurse.

As much as I like :wutang: , "Let me Ride" was just too dope. Had to go with Dre on that one.

Wow. We should really think about renaming this place the Teh Tempel of Wu.

Not that "Protect Ya Neck" isn't equally worthy as "Let Me Ride." They're both anthems, they both marked new sonic eras in their respective coasts, and they're both recognized as undisputed classics. But, that's why this should be close. Dr. Dre hate/Wu manlove on these forums is more out of control than a new Mindbender + Conspiracy album.
