    Kool G Rap did it first, but Rae took Mafioso rap to a whole new level with this.

    inspired Nas for IWW/The Firm, Reasonable Doubt, Ross has modernized mafioso rap for a minute and even everyone's favorite lightskin rapper Drizzy Corleone is influenced by this.

    not to mention there would certainly be no kanye west or "chipmunk soul" without RZA

    People just love to gloss over the East if it's not Biggie or Jay-Z and to a lesser degree Nas and it's sad as hell.

    kool g raps 4,5,6 is underrated af. some reason the critics didnt give it much praise, but its a pretty hard mafiaso rap album. even his 1998 roots of evil and his 2002 the giancana story is great. dude is slept on in general

    Finally a thread that makes some sense.

  • HIGHKEY NO CAP
    OB4CL > ILLMATIC

  • RICKY 2320

    Not even a top 5 90s NY albums, still very good tho

    Name your top 5 right now

  • RICKY 2320

    OB4CL is a rap classic but it lacks the versatility, sound quality and appeal other albums from the 90s have. It’s a great rap record but other albums are much more than that. Still one of the best pure rap albums of all time

    You sound like you were born in 2002 bro shut your ass up

  • Nov 29, 2020

    Can't argue with this

    i think a top 5 is pretty much interchangeable. illmatic might be the only 1 consistently ranked in that. wu-tang solos, biggies 2 classics, reasonable doubt, mobb deeps classics etc. too much to choose from

    That‘s why East Coast > West Coast

  • I don't play OB4CL a lot but I highly respect and recognize its greatness. Not mad at this take at all. Some of the oldest rap fans I know have it as their #1.

  • Nov 30, 2020

    Not mad at this. It’s a perfect album. I got a few albums ahead of it just off pure listening pleasure but I’m not mad

    as far as pre-reasonable doubt years go, 1995 was goated between this, liquid swords, and the infamous among others
