Totally agree,Liquid Swords had a lot of experimental type beats on it from RZA. Wu-Tang as a whole has some of the best rappers oat and alot of the albums that Rap fans praise to the high heavens like Liquid Swords,Supreme Clientele and even OB4CL go over casual listeners head. Those dudes perfected the art form of rap,Ghostface on Ironman sounds like he’s rapping poetry at times,that’s a huge feat for a rapper imo.

Rocky, Raekwon, and Westside Gunn on like a Clams x Alc beat would be something else

yikes

I don’t agree but tbh I’m not even mad at this opinion

Crazy that since this project there had not really been a real cultural force in ny until pop smoke, so maybe 2 significant artists in like 15 years, 3 if you count the GS9 wave

French Montana and Max B?

ASAP Rocky and Pop Smoke are both legends who made major contributions to NY hip hop. Won't gas up Pop Smoke as his music is still very young and we need to see how it endures over time but they both genuinely were on some other s*** for the state.

Both were at their best prior to Rocky tbh

True, max never quite made it though

what about pro era/beast coast

imo that s*** didn't hold up that much

it's all good stuff but if i want that sound there's way better artists doing it

rocky was unlike anything in new york history

In the last 15 years? If so you gotta include Nicki

Quality music but still essentially underground, not to dismiss it though

you can't tell me with a straight face that LiveLoveASAP competes againstLiquid Swords & OB4CL

Hearing Rocky and Purrp remastered on Spotify after all these years

I need my uncles to make up man. Both still making great music, life is short, come on dog.

This is true, I was gonna put male artists

I can absolutely tell you I prefer LLA to OB4CL

Liquid Swords is better though

all 3 are 3 of my favorite albums ever

flows and instrumentals are slighly superior. overall, in terms of quality they on par to me

RZA obviously produced excellent beats for OB4CL but his watershed moments imo were 36 Chambers and Liquid Swords. I feel like OB4CL are just slightly beneath those as far as production is concerned

Slightly is crazy

Its like a night and day difference for me in every aspect

Tape is cool but the iconic/classic status should be reserved for what he pulled from to make this happen

Screw
SUC
UGK
etc

Nah

Multiple legends can exist at once lol

Real
