As much as I love GKMC and Liquid Swords, they sort of double as mood-pieces, so I can't listen to them EVERYWHERE. For example, I wouldn't put them on hanging out with friends usually. (Liquid Swords I might if I had some Wu friends)

Physically pained to see GKMC mentioned.

I'm surprised you don't like it Goofle. What puts you off about it?

Goofle 06-09-2013 07:08 AM

I just don't particularly like it much. Naff production, rubbish/off putting hooks, boring concept and some truly awful songs.

Perfect? Hm, that's a though one. I'll include those that are close to perfect too (9 out of 10).

Black Star - Mos Def & Talib Kweli Are Black Star (number 1 in my book!)
Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP
Mobb Deep - The Infamous
Mos Def - Black On Both Sides
Mos Def - The Ecstatic
Nas - Illmatic
The Roots - Things Fall Apart
The Roots - Undun
Talib Kweli - Prisoner of Conscious
A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory
A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders
Wu-Tang Clan - Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

There were some off-putting hooks, I'll give you that. (mainly Real and Compton) You're right, the concept wasn't incredibly unique but I can't deny the excellence of the execution. What songs did you think were truly awful?

It'd be so much easier to jam to GKMC with friends than Liquid Swords. GKMC is far more accessible not to mention so much easier to listen to due to superior production.

More modern production maybe, but I much prefer LS production.

Fishscale
Black Up
Madvillainy

And I have to agree with SoundgardenRocks, i did like some of the production on GKMC a good bit (mainly the mastering aspect i think) but no one beat on there can touch something like "4th Chamber" or the title track.

Exactly!

Good call on FS and Madvillainy too! Ghost has A LOT of damn good albums imo
