Blackout Crew
From out of nowhere, the Crew have inspired the North of England. Althought still teetering on the cusp of greatness, they have youth on their side, but it remains to be seen whether each member possess a unique, distinctive talent?
Score for this round: 6
Wu Tang Clan
The Clan changed hip hop for ever. No mistaking. Enter the Wu Tang is possibly the illest ish ever, to this day. Breakout stars Method Man (Tical), ODB (Brooklyn Zoo) and the GZA (Liquid Swords) have proved that the Wu Tang Clan has strength in depth.
Score for this round: 10
Hardness
Blackout Crew
They're tough talking chaps from the North of England, probably capable of punching out the average man quite easily with a fistful of sovs. Left, right, left, goodnight!
Score for this round: 7
Wu Tang Clan
The Clan are exceptionally tough. Their kung fu skills are feared throughout hip hop. The Crew may be tough, but they can't hope to fathom the Mystery of Chessboxing. Round to the Clan.
Score for this round: 9
Bangin' donks
Blackout Crew
The Crew always come with a bangin' donk. All their tunes are pre-donked, meaning all you have to do is sit back and listen - no hassle!
Score for this round: 10
Wu Tang Clan
No Wu-Tang joint comes pre-donked, forcing you to supply your own, to literally put a donk on their music. This is not acceptable; salt-n-shake crisps went out in the 80's. A disappointing round for the 'Clan.

From this, we can see that the Blackout Crew is clearly better than the Wu Tang Clan. A strong start by the Wu Tang Clan, but things became bleak for the hip hop heroes when the Blackout Crew harnessed the power of the donk to squeak out a victory! If only the Wu Tang Clan would embrace the donk, they could be truly immortal...
With apologies to Viz and the talented musicians mentioned!

Although you make a fairly fair and honest argument for each crew, I gotta disagree with the results.
Wu-Tang is a dynasty.
I'm not saying that they are untouchable, there have been a (scant) few wack Wu-Tang joints released over the years.
All I'm saying is, give Blackout Crew a few years, see if they age like wine or if it's just a hype-bubble type thing that is going to burst when they hit 30.
Big ups though, for even making the comparison. It is good to see that there are cats out there that are thinking about the same shit that I am thinking about.
Also, think about this idea. You know The Grey Album, that concept project that Danger Mouse did with Jay-Z and the Beatles?
Imagine a concept album called Blackout Crüe, where an (as yet to be 'discovered') producer lays a hype Donk behind the whole "Shout at the Devil" album then laces Blackout lyrics over the whole thing.
That would be some sick ass shit.
Food for thought anyway.
Peace brother, see you on the internet.
The blackout crew better than Wu-Tang? I'm sorry but that kinda sucks for a conclusion. Its a good idea to compare them and all but you downfall was to compare how many wu tang tracks have a 'donk' on them. Thats just a style and i dont think it even existed in 80's, so it is pretty unfair in that respect. Also comparing how many tracks have a donk on them is like asking someone to compare how many raw loops and martial arts samples the blackout crew have, im sure they would score a well rounded 0.
I'll be honest guys, I was kind of joking with this post, kind of like the thing Viz magazines does when they compare celebrities.
The Wu Tang Clan's first album is awesome, most of the GZA/RZA stuff is great, but like Ross says the quality of the rest is variable.
The Blackout Crew are sort of a bit hilarious, the Put a Donk On It song made me laugh so much when I first heard it that I couldn't stop listening to it!
