^yessss
TBC with "historic wrongness" I was joking about my calling out Alfred for an 11-year-old post not like rap history or something.
It's not like I think this should have been a, er, blowout, it's just BC blew my mind in 1994 and still sounds entirely fresh. As man alive posted upthread the way they blend the samples and live instruments is flat-out amazing and more endlessly fascinating for me than the beats on Reachin, which are cool but just a touch more, idk, expected? Reachin is like the perfect summer album though and is definitely charming, but for me there's a little more there there on BC.
So yeah, I was being hyperbolic, I don't actually think it's incomprehensible to prefer Reachin. I do take issue with the idea that Blowout Comb is "quieter" though... I don't really get that take.

I saw Cleopatra Jones for the first time a few weeks ago and got to have one of those mind-altering moments of finally hearing a beloved sample(s) in its original context

I would but I’m going to the 50th celebration at Yankee Stadium with Run-DMC. (Why, why did they have to be at the same time??)
