Only Built For Cuban LinxOB4CL
I thought Death Row ? was the epitome of rap until Wu-tang came out, and then I pretty much stopped listening to Death Row until 2Pac went there.
The Chronic is tight and all, but to me it was easily outshined by ? . Meanwhile, OB4CL provide a blueprint for East Coast rap that no one else recreated better. -
Only Built For Cuban LinxCuban Linx.

Only Built For Cuban Linx"GOAT for the EAST COAST which wasnt saying much
for that time period. OB4CL was the best non biggie
album to come from the east. Lets be honest outside
of biggie's first album and wu tangs first album there
was nobody on the east coast was worth listening to
until DMX dropped. And then to compare it to maybe
the best rap album ever made is a joke.Youre most def the trol of the year.. Just by that comment -
I refuse to choose
-
Only Built For Cuban Linxc'mon man, just pick one
-
The Chronic"Got myself some Chronic...I wants to get ? up"
-
Only Built For Cuban LinxI have to say that the production on OB4CL is over The Chronic, I'm not talking about beats but over all production.
That album is put together like a film, it's like the Godfather or Goodfellas put on wax. From beggining to end it all ties in together.
I also heard that Killer Mike decided to stop hustling and get his life together after listening to Striving for Perfection.
GOAT album. -
Only Built For Cuban LinxMan I haven't heard the chronic in over 14yrs but I'll grab that purple tape in a heart beat

This. As good as the Chronic is, you don't really even hear anybody talking about it like that anymore. -
Only Built For Cuban Linx
Nah, Raekwon and Ghost were making up their own slang on Only Built For Cuban Linx. Think about that, they made up their own slang for an entire album. Kurrupt was good but he didn't break any new ground. he was just a good rapper with good beats.

Nah, see these two albums made more sense to me because both were, how shall I say this... "solo/record label/debut" albums
Trust me, I got something else for that album... keep your eyes peeled for it -

Yeah but Cuban Linx was a posse album too. Ghostface is on almost every song and there's several posse cuts like "Wu Gambinos", "Ice Cream" "Knuckleheadz" "Guilotine Swords" and "Verbal Intercourse" -
The ChronicPersonally I hear ? from the Chronic all the time I guess this depends on where you are located Geographically a lot of kats have never even heard of OBFCL over here so my knowledge of the album is a Oddity unless it is a real head I am conversing with...

by "record label" I meant "posse".. like everyone from the same group and record label (or special guest appearances) were on a lot of the tracks as well.
just couldn't think of the word at the moment lol -
Only Built For Cuban LinxBut that's what I'm saying, Only Built For Cuban Linx is really a posse album, just like The chronic. On the Chronic Snoop and Kurrupt are the main MCs, on Cuban Linx Raekwon and Ghostface are the main MCs but they're both posse albums.

Yeah, I hear people talk more about OB4CL than the Chronic.
And I think people are overrating how influential the Chronic was. It laid the Blueprint for West Coast Rap. That's big, but that's about all it did. I'd say OB4CL was more influential. You can name more big named artists and albums that borrowed from it than you can for the Chronic. I can't say OB4CL invented the whole drug/mafioso rap motif since Kool G Rap is really the one to thank for that, but OB4CL sure as hell breathed life into and made it something everyone from the East was trying to bite for a while. -

So what u saying is OB4CL changed the game more than The Chronic did? -
Only Built For Cuban LinxWu-Tang did change the game. But Only Built For Cuban Linx wasn't Wu-tangs first album so its not really a good comparison.
The Chronic changed the game because it was a West coast posse album.
Enter the Wu, which was the first Wu-tang Album also changed the game because it was and East Coast posse album. Only Built For Cuban Linx was the 4th installment of Wu-tang albums after Enter The Wu, ? (Tical) and Old ? Bastard (Return of the 36 Chambers). -
The ChronicLmao one cat says OB4CL "breathed life into Mafiaso Rap" another cat says Biggie created Mafiaso Rap.
U ? need to make up your mind -

The single most ignorant statement I have ever come across on this site.
Truth hurts now take ur L and keep it moving
You have managed to create one of the dumbest statements known to man and somehow I take the L. Brilliant.
