Toughie, want to vote A because it is cooler.
But B is just fucking fantastic really.
A just isn't a good enough Wu Tang cut

A is all about the chilling musical treatment RZA gives it, which lifts what could be a cliched tale of gangsterism into something epic and bleakly compelling.
I always thought The Dandy Warhols looked like a UK band. This is okay, but too repetitive to really lift off.

What G said: there’s a cinematic quality to the Wu-Tang track, and the way the looped sample builds gives it an edge of pure panic. It’s no wonder RZA became such a good composer for films. It’s all there in the survival of the fittest vibe to CREAM.
A, of course.
It's before my time but I've been told, he never came back from Karangahape Road.

Coming soon from Copehead:
Mozart's Requiem just isn't a good enough swansong
Xavi just isn't a good enough Barcelona player
Chocolate just isn't a good enough ice cream flavour
Einstein just wasn't a good enough theoretical physicist
A takes it.
The Dandy Warhols are the ultimate "nowhere near as good or funny as they think they are" band, though they're nothing particularly offensive.

Yep, I'm not one to repeat the obvious, but as G said, RZA's production on this album was a thing of wonder, those long looping jazzy samples add a depth and cinematic quality to what might otherwise be a fairly unremarkable rap.

B is a good enough anthem but A has the feel of an anthem wrapped into a soundtrack. Great stuff!

Re: 90s Cup Final Round Match 10
a - since there's a lot of frothing about the production up there ^^^, I thought I'd give it a listen, despite my allergy to this sort of thing, and complete inability to hear the lyrics. Purely as a sound, I found it a bit dull and dreary 3.5 / 10
b - not that this is any better. Not a band I have a particular opinion on. Both the videos were shite, too 4 / 10
B for the usual reasons
