what are you talking about? Charlemagne & almost everyone in the industry rates Ghostface as the best in the Wu and top 5 all time. Raekwon & other members are the ones that are slept on, not Ghostface or Meth.
I think it's just he's tough to follow for the average listener. The slang is thick and often obscure. He's tossing out insider references, switching topics rapidly... It's just not accessible to the average listener. They weren't lying about being only built for cuban link.
That's the album that Nas had the best standout verse on "Verbal Intercourse" correct? if not the entire project, or verse of that year being 1995 for that matter!...we just talking bars and verses or full bodies of work let me know, you'll get bodied ETHER way brother! Never will I need your permission to give my opinion on my art form and culture that my people invented! Lol foh
True indeed, OB4CL by Chef Raekwon co-starring GFK is regarded as a classic 5 mic album of the second golden era of Hip-Hop without a doubt, but we all know "Illmatic" by Nas is highly considered the greatest album in all of Hip-Hop history! And AZ was only on one song which he obliterated btw!! However I was just stating who as an unofficial "duo" has better bars and verses in comparison, Rae & Ghost are no slouches tho Chef being my favorite Wu member...but Nas is the goat...and will admit The Firm album wasn't all that we need a redo or just a full lp or ep by Nas & AZ.... because every song that they've made together just featuring each other over the years have all been classic material from "Mo Money, Mo Murda" , "The Essence", "The Flyest", "How Ya Livin'" ,"Phone Tap" just to name a few go revisit some of those joints and see that the level of skill, artistry and chemistry is undeniably impeccable just like Rae & Ghost, but imo just slightly more lyrically technical as far as mic skills.
My chit tek a high lung, air full, who notices I gat bars laid bare, takin mcees oudda treasure trunks, raise Ma nun-chuks, swinging da sweet pot of half parts of my win chung---
