No he is implying there later work is. OB4CLII is the only great post-90s non-Ghost solo Wu-Tang album. OB4CL was released 2 years after 36 Chambers ffs. The only way you get the interpretation you seem to be getting is if you think every album after 36 Chambers is "late period"

I mean I disagree with only Ghost has put out great work in the 00s forward also if he didn't simply mean post 36 chambers, which was their clear peak group wise.

wutang forever is underrated though, anything after those 2 is just meh

You won't find many hip hop heads putting Supreme Clientele over OB4CL, and 2 might even be as good as 1
again.

Seriously, his four best albums all got great reviews everywhere. Actually just looked up his reviews for all the other ones and they all got about equal praise or scorn everywhere. Pitchfork must be driving the music review industry.

Nas.

Your point? Seems like starting a debate over something absurdly subjective will lead you to proving it, whatever that may be.

because i think peak is most important, which is why you said Nas and why i think raekwon>ghostface

a guest spot on Verbal Intercourse is as close as Ghost has gotten to rap perfection

bellflower was the weirdest, most ****ed up movie, and maybe great at the same time?

OB4CL is not good enough on its own for me to even consider Raekwon>Ghost

It would need to be Ready to Die good.

OB4CL is my favorite WU album, OLB's first solo is my second (and Enter the 36 is my 3rd).

The first generation of solo albums are all pretty damn good (I'm not a fan of RZA's solo stuff, but it's good RZA music).

Pudge basically nailed what I was getting at.

RZA's solo work is good too imo, but I can see some not enjoying it

Can anyone tell me the story of anatta? I'm yet to decide whether he is Buddha or just crackhead
Sporting Events FAQ, Liveblog, and BANGERS Quote

Closer to Buddha than crackhead but perhaps a slight bit of the latter.

anatta both man really on a long time dhamma trip yet to meet a man wiser than me (use me with hesitation prefer to not have any personal pronouns or possessive pronouns at least in first person due to non existence of beings) but anatta both... not crack per se but definately something aint right and an addict of some sort although alchohol is teh perfered drug and must say can take it or leave it...

anatta goes 6'3'' does curls and such all the day boxed as a kid and stuck with it btw used to go 250 but now trim 200 not really in the mood to tolerate questions or such so keep that in mind. bitches.


but yes ur nice q is anatta a crack head or buddha...dig its a long story requires a lot of tacit assumtions like yogic insight is the best means for truth or umm logic is great math is fun and yes great and leads to power but man u must see beyond that anatta sees all dig but yet is a crack head tru dat
