can a fair comparison be made between only built 4 cuban linx and supreme clientele?

[Kyle C. Barker]

I'm going with supreme clientele but I can totally understand someone picking ob4cl.

@stomachlines, I'm starting to wonder if you were right about SC being the last great classic . But then again I didn't label it a great classic until about 2010 so hopefully time will tell

 

[DaveyDave]

i probably listen to SC more but that's because i have to be in a certain mood to listen to OB4CL

yeah, bruh. i can't think of another album of that magnitude. only other hip hop that really blew me away post supreme clientele was dilla's donuts but that was it

 

[KravenMorehead™]

Supreme for me, but they're both neck and neck

 

[the cac mamba]

for the record, SC >>>>> Ironman

so the answer to this thread is yes

Elaborate

Well we all know a key one being Blueprint. Cam birthed Dipset moved that way beat wise and had the biggest pull of his life. 75% of those beats that Jay and Cam/Dipset were on could've been Ghost's at that time after Supreme Clientele dropped. Ghost brought the sample shyt into the 2000s breh... shyt sounding crispy as ever.

I'm not saying Ghost started that shyt by any means... but in hip-hop circles that Supreme Clientele album was heralded... especially in 99/2000 where everyone was sayin Wu-Tang was done. People in the industry knew Ghost lowkey dropped a heater received or not...

Nahhhhhh son

Cuban Linx is a mystifying achievement

No one's been able to recreate RZA's production on that. He did some ridiculous things with breakbeats... getting dissonant tones from the kick... layering snares/rimshots... revolutionary at the time

Every verse Ghost dropped on that shyt was a gem

 

[ZEB WALTON]

Both albums are pretty much perfect. I wont choose. Wu stannery has this as pretty much 1a and 1b best albumsnin hip hop

Wus shyt is just so much better than everyone elses its sad.

 

[Soymuscle Mike]

They're both perfect albums, but Cuban Linx gets my vote because it really feels like some otherworldly shyt.

Malcolm tho....and Nutmeg...fukk I know what I'll be listening to today.

 

[intruder]

Oh my bad that was on Tical

 

[Billy Ocean]

Cuban Linx. Love Supreme Clientele but y'all n!ggas need to stop it.

 

[mobbinfms]

OBFCL
I'd take 36 and Liquid Swords over SC as well.
