1995: GZA - Liquid Swords vs. Raekwon - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx..

[TCE]

Just been buzzing Liquid Swords lately, but how can I forget Raekwon's album?

Both same year, easily the best albums of the year, and of all time.

Sherdog, which album do you prefer?

 

[chubbman]

OB4CL

I personally find it hard work to listen to a full gza album. Although 4th chamber and duel of the iron mic 2 of the best songs eva

 

[Daverisimo]

They're both flawless IMO, but Liquid Swords holds a special place in my heart

 

[Lethal]

Liquid Swords by a slight margin.

 

[Organic Damage]

I feel like Liquid Swords is "better" but OB4CL was more influential.

Brain says Liquid Swords, heart says OB4CL. Bah, impossible choice!

 

[Big L]

Liquid Swords is a really dark album. Lyrically I think it's fantastic but it's not something you listen to to get pumped up by any means.

OB4CL on the other hand is just as good lyrically but has a much more upbeat feel to it. Incarcerated Scarfaces is awesome.

 

[Kraysla]

GZA's Liquid Swords. Not really a rap fan, but i liked that album.

 

[FyrFytr998]

Both are great albums! but OBFCL was an instant classic.

I'd like to see a poll as to which Wu member had the P4P best solo effort.

 

[Losfer Words]

When he swings his sword they all choppable.

 

[S3VERE]

Choose the sword and you will join me
Choose the ball and you join your mother in death

I love both but Liquid Swords takes dat chit.

 

[Zer]

Liquid Swords

Call me an asshole but I only like 2-3 tracks off OB4CL. Liquid Swords I'll listen to all that shit

 

[Cool Hand Luke]

gotta go with liquid swords though OB4CL was/is an amazing album

 

[Chomsky Honk]

Liquid Swords

 

[The Senator]

Both are stone cold classics, but I give the nod to Liquid Swords. Can't beat the production.

 

[bad seed]

Liquid Swords has the crisper and "better" lyrics, but Cuban Linx was a revolutionary change to the whole rap game. That was RZA's production at its absolute peak of creativity and the finest Wu album of all time.

 

[LATEXXX COMMANDO]

He looks determined without being ruthless
Something heroic in this man, there's a courage about him
Doesn't look like a killer
Comes across so calm, acts like he has a dream
Full of passion...

You don't trust me huh?
Well you know why
I do, we're not supposed to trust anyone in our profession anyway

 

[Kneepocalypse]

Liquid Swords is the greatest rap song ever written.

 

[TeTe]

Liquid Swords is the greatest rap song ever written.

It's one of them, but let's be honest... Mathematic by Mos Def is the GOAT rap song.

 

[Matt4786]

Nothing beats listening to Liquid Swords while high as fuck.

 

[BearGrounds]

Purple tape, for me. But both are classics.
