Liquid Swords Vs. Only Built 4 Cuban Lynx.
 
I realise I spelt LINX wrong.

Anyway, It's Gza taking on Raekwon. IMO the best lyricists in Wu, their debut post-Clan solo albums are seen as high watermarks of 90's hiphop. One thing they have in common is the production talents of RZA, who does an amazing job on both, but which one do you prefer?

Personally, I prefer Liquid Swords. I love the crisp, clean beats on OB4CL, as well as Raekwons storytelling, but LS has this psychedelic, almost ethereal quality to its production that draws me in every time, I think as an album it tends to veer off down more interesting routes. Tough call though.

Liquid Swords, no question

I prefer Raekwon as a rapper, but Liquid Swords definitely has a better sound.

I like OB4CL pt 2 more then the original actually.

Liquid Swords was definitely better IMO.

Liquid Swords is one of my favorite hip-hop albums so .. Liquid Swords. I like GZA as a rapper more than Raekwon and I love the extra dirty production style that RZA used on Liquid Swords - I think it's some of his best.

I've never heard Liquid Swords but if it has your stamp of approval I think I definitely need to check it out! :)

Yeah, I think you should try it for sure. There are several early Wu-Tang albums that I love and I would say that Liquid Swords is near the top if not my favorite. Gza is just so loveable.

I think that Liquid Swords not only blows Cuban Linx out of the water, but is in the top 5 best hip hop albums Ive ever heard.

Pretty unanimous so far, Liquid Swords is without a doubt in my top 3, OB4CL would make my top 10-12 though. Maybe a better poll would have been Tical Vs OB4CL.

I voted Liquid Swords, but I might just prefer Ironman to both.
