36 chambers VS ILLMATIC
« on: March 29, 2002, 06:57:29 AM »
most deffenetly two of tha best recordz to ever come out of tha east coast (hit tha top 5 of tha "best of tha east", fa sho)....both were quite influensial altho din"t really recieve mainstream sucsess(which tha west coast influensial piecez of their time did recieve)...
which one out of tha two you like better...and why?.....explain yo choice....

36 chambers, I'm just feelin the beats more, plus this is also some TIGHT ass lyrics on the album and they got a lot of people rappin' on it, but no doubt illmatic is tight as fuck but i'd say 36 chambers is better

Illmatic 4 sure i love this album. It's a bit hard to compare the 2 anyway cause ones a group and ones a solo joint. But i definatly gotta go with Illmatic.

Illmatic...This album was a showcase of skillz and mic mastery that was an intro to what we all know as Nas.
We all know the first album is always the one people remember u from, and this lp is deff on of the tightest debuts of all time.
"36 chamber's" was tight as fucc, but to me it was more of a compilation than a group lp....there was way to many voices on that peice (which made wu-like WHoooa!!!) but in the long run, I'll have to choose Illmatic as my pick.

In my opinion Wu has always been a comp as opposed to a group....I don't know why but I always say it that way...lol

ok literally RZA half the time just sits there and plays random notes. you can tell by looking at the tablitures for most of his songs, also everytime i've seen him in the studio it's almost a joke how he comes up with a beat. sometimes yes he does come up with a good thorough beat  i won't take that away from him , but that's every now and then i can see his talent but he always sells himself short and makes simple hip hop melodies i.e bass bass snare , bass bass snare or pop pop snare pop snare in ALOTof his drum lines....thats the simplist melody you can conceive . theres a GRIP i can go off about that he does that's not all that great. RZA has talent but it's not all that to get so hyped over, and i think i know theres alot of better producers out there than him so it's ludicrous to say he's one of the greats when he holds as much talent behind the boards as kurupt has on the mic these days



and the list of overrated producers that are hailed as great are:


dj premier
pete rock
rza
battlecat
soopafly


are just a few that come to mind
