Words can’t describe just how badass this is. The beat, the scarface clip at the beginning, Ghostface causally rocking a robe and rapping his ass off. There will never be another Wu tang.
25 five years later, I still can't say who got the better verse. I listen to hip hop since I'm 12 (I'm 40 now) and Cuban links is in my top 3 albums ever. Maybe number one.
When people are rating rappers, they fail to consider that some members off rap groups are probably on the top five rappers out there. Record sales are not a standard to consider.
when that beat drop.. and the scarface sample kicks in "yo, yo, yo, who tf you think you talking to?" if you lived it, u know the jams went crazy when this joint came on
95 is the peak of hip-hop. Is hard as fuck to choose the hardest one. 95 had a lot of classic albums like Purple Tape, Liquid Swords, Doe or Die, Livestylez ov da Poor & Dangerous, Me against the World, The Infamous, Return to 36 Chambers, Livin Proof, Labcabincalifornia, Dah Shinin, E. 1999 Eternal etc
“Minimum wage we soon a get an article on rap page” OB4CL isa masterpiece, had everything! Til this day still bangin n the shop! Was a fan of Rae & A since protect ya neck!
@@The_og_fader pardon my french but let me speak italian, black stallions wildin on shaolin That means the island of Staten And niggas carry gats and mad police from Manhattan
It took me too many years to catch Biggie dissing Rae & ghost on Victory referencing ghosts verse here “militant? Y’all fgts ain’t killin shit, oops cristal keeps spillin shit”
Went to HMV and took the tape in my early teens and had this going in my walkman, but when I got my 1st job I bought the cd and tape to redeem myself 😂
All your tracks in good definition is a gift to all hip-hop conosieurs. Brings me back to the mid 90s when we was bazing Garcia Vegas, Dutch Masters, and Phillies while pumping Cash Rule...
"RZA bake the track and its militant, then I react like a convict and start killin shit, its manifested the Gods work like appliances dealin in my cypher I revolve around sciences"
Well music like this died long time ago. More than 20 years. Music changed every year since then, but in a bad way cause times changed too. Now it's a confy and lazy life. Many music styles are dead and gone, or too underground to be found.
@@SurgeonVault It always gets me worked up when I read shit like this. There are thousands of dudes making boom bap these days, a lot of them influenced by this very album right here. You're just too lazy to look for it. Back in these days it was hard to make this kind of music. Nowadays, you can do this and a lot more on a free DAW, or spend $200 and get an audio interface and a microphone and get a similar quality recording in your bedroom. But yeah, the problem is the money. Dumbass.
conciousness.. shifts with the stars.. same reason you dont get jazz bands anymore like in the 50's & 60's, or its much more rare at least. A lot of todays rap is a subverted version of what hip hop was about

Exactly people sleep on Rae’s verse
I dont even judge , too hard to handle , WU forever , Peace
Such a timeless album. I actually remember literally buying the purple tape!!! That shit just stood out in the record store💜
@@TheKenkennyg Ghost's verse is legendary but this is true, they both got busy on this. Every line damn near is a quotable
Ghost all day.....
One of the hardest beats ever made....26 yrs onwards still unmatched

Ghostface agressive style always gets me, the man entered all songs with a real competitor mindset

Loved this track when it first came out and still pumping it till this day.
A straight banger and my best track off the classic OBFCL
Ironically,
Ghost and Raekwon used to have their own WARS with each other. But look at them now.
Yeah cause noone here has seen that new Wu show..
Yeah I think Park Hill and Stapleton projects used to have beef long time ago
@@Coldmud you need to see wu show to know that? wow

Learning about this master peice from the Wu-Tang An American Saga series.
Push it to the limit
Rae had more videos on this album OBCL than any other Wu Tang members.
GZA had as many videos as Rae from Liquids Swords.
@@InvadersMustDie1918 Rae had 5, GZA and Ghost 4, Meth 3, ODB 2. So, yeah, Rae had the most.

Why music not like this anymore??
Because there is no money in this type of music anymore. People just want to listen to garbage. Not me. I like the hardcore!
