    Some cats might throw IRONMAN up in there, but I dont listen to it anymore.Supreme Clientele has made replaced it, whenever I reach for GF.

    Didn't we do this like, 3 months ago? Anyway, loathe to really add Fishscale until I've had it long enough for the initial excitement to fade but:

    1)Liquid Swords - GZA

    2)Only Built 4 Cuban Linx - Raekwon

    3)Supreme Clientele - Ghostface

    4)Return To The 36 Chambers - Ol Dirty Bastard

    5)Fishscale - Ghostface

    However, non kneejerk reaction would be Pretty Toney - Ghostface (But only if I can erase Tush from the tracklisting and my scarred memory)

    Am I the only person here surprised that "Cuban Linx" isn't #1 on people's lists so far? I thought the conventional wisdom is that this was the best Wu-Tang solo joint, hands down?

    looks like everyone pretty much agrees on the top five so far.

    who will be the first to throw a wrench into the whole affair and put No Said Date in there at #2?

    1. Liquid Swords
    2. Tical
    3. Cuban Linx
    4. Digital Bullet

    Those are the only solo jobbies I really listened to as albums.

    Ghostface is vastly overrated IMO. I still need to hear Fishscale though.

    Are you incapable of letting go of your eccentricity--even for the space of one post?

    Especially on some NYC rap shit, I know I'm supposed to submit to the ways of my fraternity brothers. But still I find myself wanting to date a Wu album with hair under her armpits.

  • bull_oxbull_ox 5,056 Posts
    3. enter the wu - 36 chambers

    Not a Wu solo album

    Would probably top most lists if this was all Wu LPs

    5. Bulletproof Wallets (promo Version)

    With "The Sun" and the original "Flowers"?

    As far as I remember "The Watch" was already edited out of the promo's...
  • crossingscrossings 946 Posts
    it's kinda funny how in the past 5 years or so... we're so used to getting the promos/advances/leaked versions of albums, that by the time it actually comes out, we're more fond of the demos... seems to happen a LOT these days... like in the case here of bulletproof wallets... and the same could be said about 'fishscale' right now after "charlie brown" was removed from the official version & what not...
  • rootlesscosmorootlesscosmo 12,848 Posts
    ranking these purely by number is unfair.

    I propose a tiered system.

    Tier one, in no order within the tier, includes Linx and Liquid Swords.

    Tier two, in no order, includes all the Ghostface albums (except Bulletproof) and Tical.

    Tier Three includes ODB's joints, No Said Date and the Inspecter Deck jawn.

    Tier four are the remaining Rae albums, Killah Priest, etc.

    really? I also have the promo single of The Watch/Flowers - The watch with the Barry White steez

    I think it's interesting - and a bit gratifying to my mind garden -
    that only 2 people put Tical in their Top 5 ... people rode so damn
    hard for that shit when it was new, and everyone seemed to think
    Meth was the best of the Wu, but damn he fell off so hard that heads
    don't even like Tical anymore...wow.

    For what it's worth, I agree.

    Mine, in order, are:

    Liquid Swordz
    Cuban Links
    Return to the 36: Dirty Version
    Bobby Digital
    Ironman
  • FatbackFatback 6,746 Posts
    Cuban Links
    Liquid Swordz
    Return to the 36: Dirty Version
    Supreme Clientele
    Ghostdog OST (Japan version)

    Yeah, I've got the single too - I thought you were talking explicitly of an actual promo release of the album w/that track... the OG promo LP of BW includes the other tracks I mentioned

    This thread cannot go any further without the mention of Inspectah Deck "THE MOVEMENT"

    The Movement might not be #1, but its definitely in the top 5
