deej sadly, solidly otm

Yay lurkers like me!

lol no was referring to the 44 OTHER people who voted GZA without posting

Well, all my posts in this poll were useless asides. I didn't rep for it until after the results were in.

I just wanted to celebrate. I never win.

does all of the Ghost love around here go to Supreme Clientele? This Ironman rejection feels insane.

I love love love Ironman, rate it a little below SC, couldn't vote for it against ODB.

wow

does all of the Ghost love around here go to Supreme Clientele? This Ironman rejection feels insane.

sort of although I voted for Pretty Toney in this poll

Ironman losing to Cuban and Liquid Swords is in no way unexpected or ridiculous

def WAU at the massive lurker turnout for Gza tho!

crazy results

what I expected tbh

we should do this again with all solo wu imo.

eventual fishscale victory would be too depressing for me to bear

people picked one 10/10 all-time classic over another 10/10 all-time classic? how corny!

also apparently ppl are not aware of this but you can only vote for one album

I voted for Liquid Swords and I don't see what's wrong with that?

I've never managed to tolerate Ghostface's voice for the length of a whole solo album. I know he has some good lyrics, but that screechy, pauseless flow just irritates my ears. Meth, on the other hand, has one of the best voices in rap.

to me, the screechy, pauseless flow is what creates the Ghost magic.

obviously I was aware that LS will kill Ironman. I'm just shocked by the huge difference.

Ghost has the best voice in the Clan.

/challops.

Solid 5-star SB post

I've never really understood this "SB someone who has a different opinion to mine" thing, can you explain it?

It's more of a feeling, tbh

soooooooometimes i feeeeeeeeel like a moooootherless chiiiild

yes, but prefer not to

Tuomas I think I can explain it. It's like, a few posts back, deej asserted that it was "corny" for one of the undisputed all-time classics of rap to have won this poll; the grounds on which he made this assertion suggest that he thinks people should think more about how their votes will make them look to others than which album they like best. I disagree with him, so I SB'd him with twelve different accounts.

Does that clarify the matter? If not, I can SB you a few times - in my experience, the old proverb "nothing persuades like SB" is still true

I voted GZA! Out and proud!

Gentlemen, we can't fight in here! This is the Wu room!

I voted for Liquid Swords but only did so after, and probably in response to, deej's whole confusing anti-GZA fatwa. prior to that, I had no idea how I was gonna choose.

Plenty of people said they'd vote for GZA upthread. I hate this whining about "lurkers" every time a poll goes against what the loudest people in the room want.

^^^I counted - it's less than a dozen fwiw.

How the fuck does Liquid Swords win this...

... by getting more votes than anything else?

I'm just surprised, is all. I figured it would get more votes than Tical, but not the other two.

Wait, why is Liquid Swords the milquetoast lurker choice again?

All this really tells me is yes, I SHOULD get off my ass and get the three albums on this poll I don't already own.

Yeah that's a better way of phrasing my surprise.

Wait, why is Liquid Swords the milquetoast lurker choice again?

because the majority of people who voted for it didn't post anything

Man there are so many polls where I click a box - sometimes seriously, sometimes for lols - but don't wanna get into the conversation therein.

I mean, my position here was "ODB 4 LIFE FUIUD" and it didn't seem worth posting at the time.

THat's an excellent justification for ODB standom.

Best way to force people to talk about the subject might be not to have the poll thing at the top of the thread.

"ODB 4 LIFE FUIUD"

c'mon this is always worth posting!

I was listening to Tical the other day; that disc has a vibe that's pretty different from the rest of the first-round solo Wu releases, which I think keeps it interesting still, besides Meth being awesome.

Like just production-wise, I mean.

i think i voted for liquid swords for the opening sample alone

I played a lot of Tical and Ironman because of this poll. While I enjoyed both, "Wildflower" on Ironman was pretty much a constant "holy fuck, what the hell are you saying, stop that" reaction every time I heard it.

Mind you, I never skipped it, but that is a fucking unsettling song.

LOL ohhhhhh "Wildflower."

My ringtone on my cell phone has actually been Cappadonna's verse from "Iron Maiden" for the last two years.

DEEP MEDITATION SOUND ORIENTATED, WAR THE BLIZZARD
RAP PARAMEDICAL THE WIZARD
CAPPADONNA, NEVER CATERIN' TO NONE
