Is OB4CL truly a solo album?

[JayBaldacci]

I was listening to The War Report which is counted as a group(duo) album and realized there's just as many solo Nore records on TWR(Blood Money, Live On, Halfway Thugs, Closer) as Rae has on Linx... (Knowledge God, Incarcerated Scarfaces, Spot Rushers, North Star). How Many solo tracks should album have to count as a solo rap album? Ironman would also fall under the same critique... If those 2 are solo rap albums, should TWR also be counted as one?

Imo it's just as it says, an album co-starring Starks.

But what about those other featured albums, like Vol. 2? And that entire era...

I think Cuban Linx it what it says...Guest Starring...

I’ve never even thought about it but technically speaking looking at it from that perspective part of me wants to say no. The other part says yes, the same way P Diddy & The Family (odd comparison I know) is Puffs solo. I guess if Rae is the driving force and vision behind it I will still count it. If you don’t count it then I don’t know if you can count Ironman either.

Right, but should it be considered a solo album like Illmatic/Ready to Die, RD, etc

Yes. Rae and Ghost weren't a duo act.
Closest comparison would be The Infamous album, featuring verses from Rapper Noyd

actually... The War Report is a lot like Cuban Linx, as I laid out... 4 Nore/Rae solo joints... capone even has a wisdom body moment on capone bone.

Didn't Capone get locked up before the album was completed.?

 

[I love Latina women]

Yes, it's a solo.

Rae and Ghost were like an unofficial duo

 

[Manolo]

OB4CL and Ironman are basically duo/group albums, which is the way when Wu worked best.

When Rae truly made a solo album with Immobilarity people were let down.

Most Wu solos never matched the quality of the official/unofficial group projects like Enter the Wu/Wu Forever and OB4CL/Ironman

If Raekwon does a Part III, he needs to do a song with Kool G Rap

 

[Braman]

Hip hip is full of contradictions

Jay z could NEVER get away with this .

Jay elec was clowned bc jay spit the first lines of his debut.

 

[ledge]

You add up all Ghost’s “guest spots”, they still less than the amount of guest spots on the average hip hop album these days

 

[Whips-n-Chains]

Might be my favorite album of all time. Top 3 at least.

Might have the best replay value of any album ever.

Yep, and he might be on TWR less then Ghost is on Linx
