O.C. had a lot more depth than just 'times up'
― google deeznuts (D-40), Monday, 16 July 2012 21:33 (twelve years ago) link
also dunno why I left Hard to Earn off my list, just an oversight

Close call between Jeru/Method Man/Gravediggaz for me.
― Gavin, Leeds, Monday, 16 July 2012 21:37 (twelve years ago) link
im surpried to hear tical is so acclaimed round here i never liked it much past the singles & a few select traxxx.
― google deeznuts (D-40), Monday, 16 July 2012 21:46 (twelve years ago) link
maybe that's an overstatement. but its def a kind of low-key record to me idk
i like jeru & always will altho i def feel like his rap style has aged kinda poorly. the guys he inspired were so much worse than him. i still remember ethan calling afu ra "jeru's jeru" lol
― google deeznuts (D-40), Monday, 16 July 2012 21:47 (twelve years ago) link
well you DO remember how absurdly wu-centric that all-time rap albums poll we did was, right? this is how it ranked 94:
84. Organized Konfusion - Stress: The Extinction Agenda [4 votes, 134 points, 1994]51. Jeru the Damaja - The Sun Rises In The East [8 votes, 204 points, 1994]47. Method Man - Tical [8 votes, 208 points, 1994]25. Gravediggaz - 6 Feet Deep / Niggamortis [10 votes, 317 points, 1994]5. The Notorious B.I.G. - Ready To Die [21 votes, 749 points, 1994]2. Nas - Illmatic [24 votes, 3 #1 votes, 901 points, 5 mics, 1994]

yeah deej i feel you, i think it's weird that ppl are acting like OH OF COURSE tical is the runaway winner...
tbh at the time it seemed like it was perceived as a relative dud compared to the rest of the first round of Wu Tang solo albums
i guess i've always thought of it as underrated, but maybe it's overrated.

― chain the color of am0n (The Reverend), Monday, 16 July 2012 22:52 (twelve years ago) link
dare iz a darkside is a stong contender....i think ppl got used to redman as sort of a snoop/willie nelson/ludacris/busta "welcome guest appearance" guy for so long that they forget the first two albums are super powerful dark funk with red rhyming his ass off
― wack nerd zinging in the dead of night (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 16 July 2012 22:55 (twelve years ago) link

almost as lol as constructing a byzantine pecking order in which something can be better than illmatic but definitely not the album of the year (xpost)
