My moment of hip-hop hypocrisy: Raekwon's "Diamond Lex Story" is a BANGER. Maybe it's because he's so clever w/lyrics, maybe it's because the beats are hot, maybe it's because he flips these lyrics more like he's in a movie or a fantasy than trying to pose for real, but this is one of if not THE best hip-hop album of the year.
I hate the thug life/gangsta stuff for the most part, but this album is hot. Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016

Did I mention that Cuban Linx is one of the greatest hip-hop CD's ever? | |

Which is why I like you, because I feel the exact same way. Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016

While we're on the subject, I'm curious as to your opinion on something. Out of all of the Wu-Tang projects which do you think is the best? For me it's like this:
1. Raekwon - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2. Wu-Tang Clan - Enter The Wu-Tang 3. GZA - Liquid Swords 4. Ghostface Killah - Supreme Clintele 5 (tie). Ghostface Killah - Ironman Dirty Ol' Bastard - Return To The 36 Chambers | |

Ghostface Killah - Ironman Dirty Ol' Bastard - Return To The 36 Chambers Right on! My list is the same (except I never ever had Liquid Swords album ). I like Ironman and Return To The 36 Chambers more than Method Man's debut for sure! | |

I like Ironman and Return To The 36 Chambers more than Method Man's debut for sure! I never really cared for any of Meth's solo joints. Which is somewhat disappointing considering that I think he has the tightest flow in all of Shaolin. But definitely check out 'Liquid Swords'. It's worth it for 'Shadowboxing' alone. This cut shows Meth at his best. | |

Ghostface Killah - Ironman Dirty Ol' Bastard - Return To The 36 Chambers I'd agree in principle with that list. Altho I honestly believe that on 3 listens, Lex Diamond Story is superior to ODB and probably GZA's LP. Funny, I thought Meth had the most solo potential at the outset, and then Rae floored me. It took some time to catch on the Ghost, but I dig that cat immensely now. Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016
