Sorry but I'm just not making a connection here, there seems to be a giant ball of gas leaking thru my screen....



Again, show proof. 



The only credible reason why "Tical" gets slightly overlooked by those two albums is becuz Meth is more commercial and always has been, especially compared to the entire Clan with the moreso "recent" exposure RZA has gotten.




And in the listeners mind that means something.  But I don't have to tell you that, you already know. 




You're not gonna sit up here and tell me that "Tical" doesn't embody literally everything The Wu has ever been about except for the Knowledge part (which I admit is pretty Core to their values). 


Another reason why it gets overlooked is becuz all of his albums after that were underwhelming and don't capture that Raw, Gritty, and Grimyness that "Tical" has.



If you talk about "Time Capsule Music" then "Tical" is one of the frontrunners for not just Hip Hop but all music in general.  Everything about that project is unique and the album sticks out like a slipped disk

Dude, the vase majority of hip-hop fans loved the album, but hardly any critic called it classic, it's not seen as groundbreaking like many of the Wu's previous projects, and compared to Enter the Wu Tang (36 Chambers) and Only Built For Cuban Links, it's a great album but not quite on that level. It's not like everyone is calling Tical garbage. And it wasn't a commercial album by any stretch of the imagination. The only commercial track was a track that had to be remixed. Each track was great, but we throw the title classic around too much. Sometimes things aren't classics that we think they are, and sometimes albums are classics to a newer generation that we don't agree with. But in my search of trying to find someone, anyone that calls Tical a classic, I can't. I can find lots of solid albums, lots of 4.5 stars. And I agree with that. Even in my youth, loved the Tical album the same way I loved 187um Killa by Eazy E, or Streetz Iz A Mutha by Kurupt. All of them great albums but none of them are what I'd call classics.

Who are these people that you polled and why are you trying to pass off your own personal opinion as fact or the general consensus for the masses over something that happened more than 20 years ago (literally).



I think you're feeling yourself a little too much Guy








And I said Meth was/is seen as the most Commercial, I never said "Tical" was a Pop record. 


But you knew that already, you're just playing stupid

Okay?? I posted links to people asking if Tical was classic. Should I post articles? I think you are trying WAY too hard.

I'm not even gonna sit up here and debate whether "Tical" is a classic or not.  That's like insulting my intelligence

Black Thought never dropped a classic solo album either



i think he figured he wasn't good enough to do anything solo

He's the (technical) frontman for The Roots.  He already Solo as far as I'm concerned

[Hack Wilson - real]

but so many people contributed to those songs, that's why they are a group



Treach from Naughty By Nature never dropped a solo LP either.
