> "Wu-Tang Clan at #6 is fucking impressive given that 10 members, with vastly different styles, are equally contributing lyrics. Add the fact that GZA, Ghostface, Raekwon, and Method Man's solo works are also in the top 20 – notably, GZA at #2. Perhaps their countless hours of studio time together (and RZA’s mentorship) exposed each rapper’s vocabulary to one another."
At least in the case of the Wu-Tang Clan, this seems to be done on purpose and suggests that there is a strong correspondence between the individual members' repertoire on one hand and the group's vocabulary as a whole, with a presumed exchange in both direction (i.e. both as a deductive and an inductive process).
