    Defo, ODB added some dope touches on it though, and the way he delivered them is great.

    Defiantly a classic.

    Method Man is obviously a legend but I think his solo albums always lack something to be considered a classic

    Liquid Swords
    Only Built 4 Cuban Linx
    Ironman
    Return to the 36 Chambers
    Tical

    Enter the Wu Tang is better than all of these tho. The Gravediggaz album 6 Feet Deep is definitely up there too.

    Top 1. But it’s close. Defiantly the most impactful but music wise it’s still iconic.

    God damnit why is it so hard to pick.

    This is my order too in terms of my personal favorites.

    However if I were ranking them objectively it would be:

    Only Built 4 Cuban Linx
    Liquid Swords
    Ironman
    Tical
    Return To The 36 Chambers

    Side note, as great as these albums are, the real star here is RZA for producing all of these albums. Dude had a nearly flawless 3-5 year run. 1997 and 1998 are suspect but 93-96 are pretty flawless. He basically produced all the beats for:

    36 Chambers (1993)
    Tical (1994)
    Liquid Swords (1995)
    Return to the 36 Chambers (1995)
    Only Built 4 Cuban Linx (1995)
    Ironman (1996)
    Wu Tang Forever (1997)
    Bobby Digital (1998)
