Conway has bells palsy not cerebral. Bells is when one side of your face becomes paralyzed, usually because of some stress or trauma, in Conway's situation, he was shot. My mom had it. She woke up one morning and half of her face was drooping. Doctor's told her it was because of a lot of stress and that it would go away, eventually. It took like 2 maybe 3 YEARS for my mom's face to return to normal. It takes a really long time to recover from, and I think Conway was shot in 2012 so it's taken him over a decade thus far and he's still recovering from it.
Damn I'm sorry about that! That is my mistake
@DefGoldbloom Bro, you're all good, and your videos are valid. Keep up the great content. 👍🏾

Ay bro I love the channel and enjoyed the vid…but having Hitler 5, Hitler 6, AND Don’t Get Scared Now in the bottom 5 is nasty work 😂

26.10
27. Who made The Sun Shine
I skipped Hitler on Steriods since it's not a full original project. I'm not going to justify my choices in writing, this is just personal taste. All respect to you though brutha a very solid video with visuals and commentary, I always show love to any Griselda Fan.
Damn, sunshine at last!
@@brix1043sunshine ain’t last this guy trippin
For the last on HWH1 it isn’t lost art. It was originally “Hitler musik” which is one of my favorite west songs. For some reason it was deleted and replaced with lost art in 2022.
Hwh8 side b is the greatest Gunn album can’t tell me otherwise
Every track has something unique but still keeps the same aura throughout the whole album the samples are from heaven and the features are crazy for an album that has 20 tracks and manages to stay so consistent and fresh I have to consider it his best work
Fax it’s so clear
Idk it’s one of my least favorites there’s so many songs that should’ve been left off and some of the beats are really boring with really boring features but on the flip side there’s some amazing songs on there too
@@christianb8804 really? could you share which tracks you felt that should’ve been left off or the beats you found boring cus I thought the beats were the best quality of the album
@@makal-_- free kutter(I don’t hate this song but for a 20 song album it shouldn’t have made the cut), Celine dion(I love the 2nd beat first beat didn’t have bad verses but I just wasn’t feeling the beat), I like forest lawn but the beat was boring, survivor series(beat was wayyy too long so the verses couldn’t have significant hit power, beat was like a broken record),99 avirex(beat was same reason as survivor series and I didn’t like stoves hook on it). Just those 4 songs take up like 20 minutes of the album so it kinda ruins the listen for it
Bruh....HWH6 & Peace Fly God being so low is absolutely insane.
6 is maybe my favorite HWH after 8A/B, and PFG is easily one of Gunns best and most underrated projects....one easily a top 5 Gunn project, the other at least a top 10.
straight up facts, fr
I applaud your mental resilience
Great video as always! HWH8 and Supreme Blientele have always been my favorites
Thanks for tha video, I’m gonna watch it later at work
Dude I just found your channel and you're mad underrated. Keep up the great content.
Ayyy thank you!!
Love the shoutout you gave to “Pete Sake”. To my knowledge, I think that’s the only al.divino beat that Gunn’s ever rapped on?
Don’t Get Scared Now was the project that introduced me to Griselda so I’ll always hold it in high regard, but I agree with your points made. To be honest, I didn’t even know if it would qualify at the start of the video, since I view it more as a Griselda project than a WSG project.
I thought Sadhu produced Pete Sake
@@jaden_ja Just Googled it, and apparently they co-produced the song. Learn something new every day.
Woah this list is interesting. I would for sure put some of your low ones a lot higher but def respect your ranking dog. Good video
22:30 that’s because it’s the same sample as big ass bracelet lol
Great job thanks.
Might not agree with the rankings, but I applaud your hard work. This was much appreciated bro! Peace.
🤝
Writing this was definitely a huge challenge I bet! Almost 30 albums and a majority of them are very solid-great! I agree with P4P being number 1. The sequel to that, WMTS, and Awesome God 2 are bottom 3 for me tho
Great Vid either way!
Thanks homie!! I’d tune in if you made a ranking 👀
people sayin that Awesome God 2 is bottom tier are crazy to me
@@georgesummer536name 5 records worse
i really enjoy your videos
Thank you 🙏 Much more coming!
Dope video mam!!!!!
Thank you!!
what’s the song in the intro?
banger list banger albums, top 3 spot on
Wow 🔥
BOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOOOOOM
AYO.
Great video as always! Maybe a Wu-Tang Clan solo artist ranking could be cool. Don't forget the God Fahim discography ranking at 20k subs you promised ;)
Hahaha that TGF ranking is always in the back of my mind don’t worry 😂
needa see some more ranking videos- one for Conway/benny, billy woods, roc marci maybe?
they take a while but I'd love to do those all eventually
wtf ur videos aint been coming onto my timeline for a couple of months, been watching since the start damn near!😢
Damn what the heck CZcams?! I guess just hit the notification bell and hope for the best
All the albums are number 1 to me.
putting don’t get scared now on the list and not even mentioning the song Ajax is a crime lol. love the vid
Who Made the Sunshine is a top 5 WSG project…appreciate you tackling this list tho!
Blientele will always be my #1 but its tough to rank all his projects.
what is the song playing in the intro 🔥
Does anyone know what songs he is using in the background?
Man's a beast, and that he's somehow an even better curator/designer is bonkers 🥵
Great idea, do this for all of wu and griselda if youre brave enough. I will 100% watch
This is an impossible task
I know lol I was like damn where do we start.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
27:41 extremely underrated song, I had to do a little digging online and add the original version myself that song is insanely good and everyone smoked it
That beat in the intro is FIRE!!!!
Anyone knows the name of the beat/sample?
People will never agree on a ranking for a disography like gunns, but if I had to pick out a few ranking I would change it'd be these:
1. I can see why you wouldn't be a fan of HWH 5 but it's definitely miles ahead of albums like Who Made The Sunshine and Awesome God 2. Mickey Sunday is the standout here, but Finn Balor and B Lunch are really dope and you kind of understated how heavenly the beat on RIP Bobby is. That's gotta be one of my favorite WSG tracks, full stop.
2. HWH 6 has gotta be higher! Amherst Station 2, GiGi, Niagara Cafe, SLY and My 1st Drako are all heavenly and the rapping on the rest of the tracks is tough, because they are all grittier. In my opinion maybe even a contender for top 3 HWH.
3. Peace Fly God is one of my favorite WSG projects lowkey. All the songs except for Ritz Barlton slap, Big Ass Bracelet, Derrick Boleman being 2 incredible standouts. This record has some of the most interesting sampling in a long time to me. Even though it's just an intro track with AA talking, I listen to it solely coz of the sample. I can see how the long Jesus Crack can overstay it's welcome but it's fire the whole way through for me! I also got this joint on vinyl and lemme tell you, Big Ass Bracelet on vinyl is making me ascend.
4. Though I love it, There's god and there's flygod is a bit too high for my liking. It's just a bit too short, but Peter Luger and Loco are both dope. I don't think this is better than albums like the two above because this album blends in a bit too much and is shorter.
5. To be honest, I was never a big fan of HWH 7, even though Connie's Son, Kelly's Korner and Love U are awesome. I feel like it feels bland at points. To me, this one has the some of the highest peak but some of the lowest lows aswell.
6. I like that you don't shy away from ranking HWH 8 Side A so high, even though most would definitely disagree. Though I am a big fan of Peri Peri, Bash money, Spoonz, Westheimer, Margiela Split Toes and most other tracks I refrain from ranking this one very high because it literally doesn't have a solo track. If this doesn't bug you at all I understand the placing though
7. We all know that FLYGOD, Supreme Blientele and Pray for Paris are his holy trinity and really any order is fair. I just feel like FLYGOD is a notch above the other two. It has very good gritty tracks like Dunks, Shower Shoe Lords, Vivian at the Art Basel, Free Chapo, Bodies on Fairfax and King City. It also has some heavenly Gunn tracks like Gustavo, Hall (kind of) and Over Gold. Now there is a batch of songs that don't clearly go in either of these directions like Albright Knox or Omar's Coming but they are great nonetheless. Now the two tracks which are clearly a cut above ANY other WSG tracks imo. I cannot understate how good 50 In. Zenith is, with an incredible beat by Statik Selektah and two great verses by Skyzoo and WSG. Gunn really brings his a game with the pen when he's matched with underground legends like Skyzoo. And the elephant in the room, Mr. T. By FAR THE GREATEST TRACK in his entire discog and dare I say one of the greatest tracks in hip hop, FULL STOP!!!! THIS IS FUCKING CRAZy, Apollo Brown crafted his masterpiece and Gunn knew he couldn't waste the opportunity. You can see I fucking love this album, as I just named literally the entire album on best tracks:.
While being consistently great, Supreme Blientele and Pray For Paris don't reach these heights for me.
Also some very agreeable takes: I thought WWCD didn't really hit like it could've but overall it's still a really good project, you could've mentioned the crazy performances Benny put on. MVP on that album fosho.
I appreciate you not hating on And Then You Pray For Me because it is at face value a really solid album. It's really long and there are like 10 songs that could've made an incredible album if it was shorter. Westside Gunn gave an amazing interview on Fantano explaining his POV on why he decided to make those trap cuts, very respectable. People are gonna start liking this album more, the more time passes.
Flygod is good.. all the time is short and focussed, the runtime just holds it back. Part Deux is a top 10 WSG track.
I like the Griselda Ghost and Flyest in Charge Vol. 1 respect, they are both rough and it shows a different style than you'd expect from WSG. Also peep Skit #2 on Flyest in Charge, so underrated.
HWH 4 is really great! I like your placing because it does have standout bangers like Aunt Rosies and The Cow but the rest are very safe WSG tracks.
Roses are Red.. So is Blood is dope! Donna Karen, Hall & Nash 2 and Perfect Plex are standouts, Perfect Plex gotta be my favorite.
It's very difficult for me to talk about HWH 8 Side B because there are so many features and some tracks are not really my cup but the amount of bangers can't be understated. Hell on Earth P. 2, Free Kutter, The Fly who couldn't fly straight and ofcourse the incredibly banger Ostertag. Tracks like TV BOY are essential but on some beats, the album is lacking like on the way too long Survivor Series 95 even though Larry and Jay are two of my favorite rappers out rn.
HWH 2 is just a classic, we all know this. No need to expand on this. Hall & Nash, Eggz, City Sos & Me, Vera Boys, Medusa plate and the intro speak for themselves.
HWH 3 IS SO GREAT AND I'VE BEEN SAYING THIS. I really appreciate your placing, Dear Winter Bloody Flags, Fukk, Rolacks, Raisen Bagel, Oil Base are some of his greatest and the rapping is solid-great on the other tracks like Bad News or the awesome throwback features on Rixh Lord Poor Lord and BLVK TAR, which are dope asf.
10 is growing on me every day. Some of Gunns finest curating from that era he probably brings out the greatest features out of any album. A$AP Rocky with the swag on Shootouts in Soho (which also has a really fitting beat), the crazy black star feature (talib went off, wheather you like him or not and so did mos def), RTJ and ofcourse the crazy lineup on science class (if only the og version was on spotify. vinyl has it:DDD). The only thing that makes this one drop a tier from the likes of HWH 3 (yes i prefer HWH 3) is the a bit too long Red Death and me personally not being a sucker for trap on FlyGod Jr. Also got this one on vinyl (twice actually if anyone wants a sealed mint 180g version hmu).
Supreme Blientele is really nice and has some of the nastiest raps of his discog. GODS Don't Bleed, Brutus, Brossface Bripple, Ric Martel and WESTSIDE are incredible. This album also has some of the nicest "luxurious WSG" on it. Wrestlemania 20 and Mean Gene do this really well. Now my 3 standout tracks gotta be Amherst Station with a heavenly vibe which bangs anytime it's on, Elizabeth with classic oneliners and great production and The Steiners with one of the best WSG features ever, I'm a sucker for Elzhi.
I really like Supreme Blientele and Pray For Paris and they are about equal to me.LE Djoliba, $500 Ounces, No Vacancy and French Toast are dope. Also peep the Preemo beat on Shawn vs Flair, I love that track. George Bondo, $500 Ounces, Claireborne Kick and Versace are my clear standouts on this project. Yes, 327 is great n all, the beat is so lowkey and relaxing but I'm just not a tyler guy and I feel like it's a bit overrated at this point even. Dope track nonetheless. What I appreciate most, is how concise this album is with not a single beat not used to its full potential.
Alright so this took a second, longer than the vid is long but now for my top 5, I'm divided: FLYGOD, Supreme Blientele, Pray For Paris, HWH 6, HWH 3, HWH 2 and my wildcard Peace Fly God all deserve one in my mind but for now it's probably FLYGOD, Supreme Blientel, Pray For Paris, Peace Fly God and HWH 3.
Thank you for ranking the goats album
HWH8 side b is just magnificent, my personal fav and imo his best album
agree with nearly everything but you're sleeping on and then they pray for me sooo hard bro, best westside album for me easily
Peace Flygod way too low 😭. fire list tho
Hitler 6 is a top five Griselda track minimum having it bottom five is crazy work.
imagine dropping 28 albums and not having 1 bad album.... insane
You had me worried you weren't gonna mention Mr. T during the Flygod ranking
It always floors me people don’t like Hitler 5. When that came out I use to smoke to it all the time. But when people give their reasons why they don’t like it I understand it but RIP Bobby , Fin. Baylor , OG Ma, Mickey Sunday, Down State, Hebru etc I love it and the alternate cover vinyl is insane. But I like your videos dude keep up the good work
Time stamp please bro
Thththththththhtth BOOM ayo!
8:41 is where I am rn, if pray for Paris isn’t too three, I’m going to be angy 😡
Honestly it’s not even recency bias but for me 10 (with the original science class) is my favorite Gunn project ever
FNIC is by far his most underrated project, yeah there’s a few outdated records but they were still dope for their time. They way they rapped on Skit 3, Gun Go, Lord of War, Skit 2, Lord, Pack Heat etc. are much more Natural & Raw without any gimmicks and is the Energy they lack now. From HWH3 tracks like Rolacks & Bon Jovi were much more interesting with the production and flow. Supreme Blientele is my 2nd favorite album from him but his best record on there was the self titled song WESTSIDE with that Statik Selektah production, the beats drop and Gunn actually gets into his Bag.
Yak Ballz next, please 💜
That name 💀
@CVRTHEBARDYes Indeed Sir 🌪️
Boom Boom Boom Boom! Peace from California! ✌🏽
Not gone lie hitler on steroids is some of his best work Ik its songs he’s previously released but just as a full project it’s mixed perfectly
1. flygod
2. hwh2
3. pfp
good list but i gotta say hwh5 is extremely underrated one of his best albums for first listeners
Fair enough!
Nah H6 top 10 man that’s a crazy placement
No talk about Danhausen, im heartbroken
Did rayfuls plug dirty 😩
HWH1 & HWH5 in my humble opinion is just so raw and definitely should rank higher. I would throw And Then You Pray For Me at rock bottom lol I hate that album and feel like Kitchen Lights and Babylon Sis should have been on 10 or Peace FlyGod. I wouldn’t put 10 in my top 10 either. Who Made The Sunshine is criminally underrated.
HWH3 is sick! Oil Base is legendary!
I can’t argue with Supreme Blientale at all because it’s how I first heard of West and Griselda.
hwh side b is top 3 at least man
I like Pray for Paris but I think it’s overrated for me, he’s got so many more solid picks I feel like it’s just a safe pick but still a great video and some really good takes
WWCD at 20 is CRAZY
And what about Fourth Rope?
Fourth Rope is dope! Didn't include it because it's a compilation though
What about Griselda Ghost?
that's on there!
@@DefGoldbloom missed it somehow lol
Damn thats weird I have HWH 5 and Dont Get Scared Now in my higher tops
fair enough! They are all dope projects so it's really just preference at that point
hermes 5 and 6 so low is insane
🫥🫥🫥💨💨💨
Do a YOD list
I listen to 10 more than any album.
Okay rapper. Love him feature MF DOOM
hes not a rapper, he clarifies this almost every year. Hes more of a curator and architect of melodies and fashion
How come you never mention Boldy James in any of those albums where he's featured 🤔 ... 227 man deserves a mention bruh
FLYGOD IS AN AWSOME GOD 2 is top 5
Hitler 5 that low is insane

Love the channel but ain’t no way you believe ts 💀
You putting hitler 1 and 5 last made me cringe the rest of the video lol, we gotta redo your whole list from top to bottom homie 😂😂😂
P4P is super overrated not even top 5 WSG
L imo
This whole crew is super annoying besides Benny the butcher.
🚨🚨🚨 No taste alert 🚨🚨🚨
He is the most annoying and so childish
This is little kid language that’s only allowed on social media. I could never be annoyed by someone I’ve never met or had a conversation with much less a whole crew of people.
