Out of all those, I think I played Blowout Comb the most for the longest period of time.
Peace!

Tie between Liquid and Low End
The game is a oxymoron; we sold free-base

Holy shit this is difficult
I can't believe GZA is beating Tribe or Cube. Not saying it wasn't an amazing album, but still...
That said I had to vote for Cube and it could have been Tribe any other day.

Cube without a second thought. That album changed everything for me and will always be thought of in high regard.

This was impossible. I considered basically everything except The Ruler's Back.
My criteria was then what album will I almost likely reach for first 20 years from now. I chose ATLiens, although it's so close with Cube and Tribe.

1. Liquid Swords
2. Death Certificate
3. ATLiens
4. Infamous
5. Supreme Clientele
6. Low End Theory
the way i had it in order. some of you will probably bug at how low i had low end theory. the fact of the matter is, i just enjoyed all those albums more then low end.

having to decide between Stress and Liquid Swords almost made me cry, and then I saw that Low End Theory and ATLiens were also on here, but in the end I went with Stress, although Gza was about to take it.

Damn this is a toght one to call - it's certainly between 'Liquid Swords' and 'The Infamous' for me............
Gotta go with Mobb Deep though - I have so many cool memories of shit that was happening in my life around the time that album dropped. It was the dopest shit!

I'd say that too if my real debut album sucked.
I went with Mobb Deep. I can't believe Tribe isn't killing this.

I picked Liquid Swords, to some extent I feel that Gza had an advantage because for most of us it was his first solo album, to this day I haven't heard words from the genius...therefore its got the freshness of a illmatic or reasonable doubt..
that said, i didnt vote for low end theory just because although its a great album it never did it for me in the way that midnight marauders did, that said, it shouldnt have influenced my decision, but for some reason it did haha
