Classics Discussion: Raekwon & Ghostface Killah
- Thread starter Inspect Her Deck
- Start date
Cuban Linx, Ironman and Supreme. All classics.
This whole narrative that Ironman is some Cuban Linx-lite has to stop though. The albums are thematically different and have a totally different vibe. Ironman is more soulful and personal than Cuban Linx. Other than the fact that Ghost and Rae team up on alot of the tracks, I don't even see how Ironman and Cuban are that similar.
Also, alot of cats really sleep on the brilliance of 260. I think it's Rae and Ghost best team up joint. The storytelling is God like MCing. "Kicked down the door in the spot 260, 2L, I heard they had O's for sale..." Fvcking crowd damn near died when they actually decided to perform it live:
Then Rae..."We walked in, both of us looked like terrorists, masks on, second floor dun...yo, I handled it. Kicked in the crib, the whole sh!t looked graphical, natural. Fvcking a white b!tch? ACTUAL". God like MCing.

There's no way Ironman and OB4CL are comparable. The cheap mans OB4CL comment is foolishness. OB4CL is in my opinion the best hip-hop album of all-time. Ironman isn't there, but it's like a good top 10 (and of course classic).
260 is really the track when listening to Ironman in the early days blew my mind. That was (and probably still is) my favorite track on Ironman and is wayyyyyy too underrated. That shyt is just ridiculous until this day. 260 is what made me realize that Ghost could really really flow... and I started making a transition to Ghost in-time for Wu-Tang Forever (which has multiple Ghost murders), and the nail in the coffin the forever great Supreme Clientele.
i voted Supreme and OB4CL based on the fact that if u remove Ironman from Ghost catalogue his discography is still bangin not to mention it wasnt a game changer like the two i mentioned...i love all that nikka's shyt tho cept the last four he dropped....

he just said that they're different in approach and subject matter to an extent, which is true
so by that alone it cannot be a cheap mans OB4CL. a more applicable accusation would go to an album like It Was Written or something like that.
but if you're talking poor man's in terms of quality strictly, then a LOT of albums, even great ones, are a poor man's OB4CL

The problem with a lot of you trash posters who hate on SirBiatch is that you dimwits don't read. If only you stepped outside the box and gave shyt some thought, what I'm saying wouldn't sound so crazy.
Ghostface himself says Ironman continues where Cuban Linx left off

In that same link Ghost says Ironman was rushed. And you can tell, which is why some tracks are mediocre in comparison.
Even if Ghost hadn't said it, I'm not the first person to say Ironman has a similar vibe to Linx. It's pretty obvious. Others
Does "Ironman" = "Cuban Linx 2" to you?

An article that doesn't agree with me, citing crime mafiaso thriller vibes on Cuban vs Blaxploitation on Ironman. I agree, but I think that's not enough to say they're wildly different.
Ghostface Killah’s Ironman vs. Raekwon’s Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… Which Is Better?
http://rereadsandreviews.com/2014/05/11/ironman/ (Great for explaining why Ironman was cool but flawed and didn't really bring anything new to the table, unlike Supreme Clientele)
SirBiatch is the receipt king. I can provide receipts to prove or even disprove my points. Coli posters can't do either.
