OGC album was trash. Most heads? Like who? Guys who love the unknown artists with funny sounding names "MC Solarix", "Saturnz" who think they are dope? Ok. Outside of BCC fanboys, I dont know most heads who think OGC album was a banger. It was weak much like your redundant responses to me in hip hop threads.

Oh look, Lakey the kid album was fire! An artist not many know of besides locals and Cormega fans/followers. But hey you heard the album so you're official. You're certified. Did you hear Philly artist Riptides album? Its gold. He delivers some of the most dope lyrics unheard of. Exceptional stuff. Production is top notch as well. Great album to say the least. I say to say the least.

Guess this is the closest you can get to the hood huh LOJ?

OGC Da Storm is nice. Throw that album on a good system and bass is amazing.

Other under-appreciated albums are Camp Lo - Saturday Night Fever, and Capone N Noreaga - War Report.

I'm biased... but I say it's a Top 3 - Top 5 all-time rap album. Not exactly underrated. Easily a timeless classic. More so than 36 Chambers. No other Wu album flows better than LS; hard to really say any other albums flow better Wu or not.

I agree.... I have it in my top 5 all time, and I also agree that it isn't underrated. Most hip hop cats rank it highly and it is usually considered to be one of the best (if not THE best) Wu solo project.

Now.... if we wanna talk about underrated, then a true underrated album would be Killah Priest's 'Heavy Mental'.

I rarely see it ranked or in best of lists.

calling things underrated is overrated

wait what?

Mindblown!!!!

If you are LIVING IN THE WORLD TODAY, remember to read the LABELS when entering the COLD WORLD OF KILLAH HILLS 10304. INVESTIGATIVE REPORTS state that the DUEL OF THE IRON MIC took place in the 4TH CHAMBER, and it was the infamous SHADOWBOXIN

Camp Lo album would fall under that category for sure. CNN is pretty well respected.

The Camp Lo album isn't that great.

It has about 4 good tracks and well.... that's about it.

I loved the 4 good tracks but it was underwhelming overall, and not really worthy of being called a great album. Sad, because they had tons of potential, they weren't smooth, they were smoooove and slick with it.... one of my fav groups of all time.

Now.... if we wanna talk about underrated, then a true underrated album would be Killah Priest's 'Heavy Mental'.

I lost that album like 3 days after I bought it.

LS is pretty highly rated so it can't really be underrated. I'd say his next 2 albums are underrated, though.

underrated

[irondarts]

yeah beneath the surface is underrated. wouldn't say the same about legend

Pro Tools (his newest) is definitely underrated.

[Vragrant]

Pro Tools (his newest) is definitely underrated.

in my top 3 favourite GZA albums

What is it with some posters here acting like they discovered a diamond in the rough with Gza album? Reminds me of the love affair some had about that wacko movie Donnie Darko.

And OGC album sucked balls. I gave it away for free to one of my friends. Only got it because of that hit single. Starange Wonder had a dope solo song on there. Cant think of the name.

To each his own..but, the album is a classic. Hurricane Starang (the song your referring to) isn't even one of the top songs on the album, though it's still nice. "Calm Before Da Storm", "No Fear", "Gunn Clapp", "Elite Fleet" are some of the best tracks the BCC has put out. OGC's second album "The M-Pire Strikes Back" was a huge disappointment to me though.
