Re: The "Vs." Thread
This is toughest one presented so far in my opinion. I think Cuban Linx has better production, but I think Gza RAPS HIS FUCKIN ASS OFF on swords. I guess I have to go with Linx because Glaciers of Ice, Ice Cream, and Incarcerated Scarfaces own my face.zygmontone wrote: LIQUID SWORDS vs. ONLY BUILT 4 CUBAN LINX :?:

Amerikkka's Most Wanted vs. Death Certificate?
"AmeriKKKa's most wanted". Bomb Squad production kills it.
Fear of a Black Plantet vs. It takes a Nation of Millions?
"it takes a nation..". Far more consistent and it includes their two greatest songs - "night of the living baseheads" and "black steel in the hour of chaos".
Ironman vs. Supreme Clientele?
Probally a draw.
Blueprint vs. The Black Album?
"The blueprint". Production was outstanding. "The black album" was weak. Jay sounded bored. 4 good songs and one of them was an interlude.
LTI vs. Paul's Botique?
"Paul's boutique". Three words : Dust Bros production.
Liquid Swords vs. Only Built 4 Cuban Linx?
"'Cuban linx". No question. Pretty much unfuckwithable. "Liquid swords" is close though and would probably win against any other album.
My pick :
"Ready to die" or "life after death" ?
(and my choice would be "life after death").

I posted an all DITC match-up a while back for some future poll suggestions:
How about an all DITC crew and affiliates brawl?
Funky Technician vs. Word...Life
Lifestyles Ov Da Poor and Dangerous vs. Capital Punishment
Jewelz vs. Represent
Runaway Slave vs. Stunts, Blunts, and Hip Hop
Don Cartagena vs. The Big Picture
J.O.E. vs Return of the Funky Man
Soul Clap vs. The Awakening
1st Terror Squad album vs. the DITC album
and Bon Appetit vs. J.O.S.E for worst fall off by a member
or any variation of those mentioned above

Death Certificate over Amerikkka's Most... I think just cuz I'm from the west coast and we just like Cube over our beats better than y'alls
It Takes a Nation over Black Planet... Although I liked Black Planet better as a kid... Nation has aged much better
Ironman over Supreme Clientele... but I think that's a T.R.O.Y. forum preference elsewhere people seem to prefer the latter... I don't know I think Ironman features some of RZA's best beats and Ghost, Rae, & Cappa murder it...
Black Album over Blueprint... I don't like either of these albums that much, but for me Black album takes it... although Blueprint was obviously way more influential
Paul's Boutique over License To Ill - Licensed to Ill is not one of my favorite Beastie's albums...

ha, I started to do these, and found myself getting mad at the decisions I was forced to make... most of those are too close to want to call... too many of my favorite albums in there
