Why do nikkas make threads…when they should be banned?!

It’s like saying you don’t like a classic movie like taxi driver…maybe it’s just not for you. Bc when I first heard LS I was put in a fukking trance

Like others said, it’s nighttime music for late fall, dead of winter. It’s not some sunny day ish

Just had to be there I guess. His pen game was immaculate. Just an emcee's emcee. Not for everybody for sure but he really had/has the sharpest lyrical sword in the Clan.

They all will tell you this. He is the Grandmaster.

I swear the media influence the hell out of people

Bought this gem up in Vermont visiting my sister at college. Walked into Coconuts (RIP) and stumbled upon in when I was 14. I remember reading the blurb on the back of the case that included the names to all the tracks like Let me see what this is about. From the Lone Wolf and Cub intro to B.I.B.L.E. my young mental was


It's funny that I only realized after watching American Saga that Tical came out before OB4CL, Liquid Swords and Ironman which are all personal classics. While there's a few moments I enjoy on Tical, it's clearly 4th best out of the original 4 solo albums and he had access to RZA's vault before anyone else.

So...a classic like it supposedly "isn't"?

No it isn't

5/5 is classic IMO. Classic is a step up from Great

 

[Tommy Sheppard]

Probaby the reason i dont think its that great...im surrounded by palm trees and sunny 70 degree weather

I work outside in the cold and love the album, but I’m not playing that shyt outside of headphones let alone in warm weather

 

[OJ Simpsom]

classic shyt

This thread’s gotta be parody

That's it. Its a hardbody east coast album to the friggin tee. Nothing wrong with it, but for the most part Liquid Swords just a bump once and move away album. Folks getting the perception that I don't care for the album, or even shytting on it.

No, I actually fukk with the album but the ball groping for such a album is silly as all hell, when the Purple Tape was LEAGUES better than the album. Hell, Tical was better than the album because it had not only the grit, but it had replayability. I played that album from here to kingdom come for the time.

Wild how I and people the world over can play an album over and over for actual decades when it doesn't have "replayability"
I was prepared to let you cook at first, but this is just stupid. You don't like the album, that's OK. Just move on with your life. Tical is in no way better than LS my man

 

[MenacingMonk]

The album is just so raw an grimy. The incorporation on Lone Wolf and Cub was great. I don’t understand this thread.

 

[Ces1ne?]

It sounds like the demo of a midtier rapper

………….the nerve of some1 with Tyler as their avi saying that

ODB’s debut is far better than Tical too
