OB4CL

ATLiens gets my vote in a very close one...

OB4CL gets my vote barely.

Cuban Linx.

I'll take ATLiens in a match-up the comes to down to personal bias for me as they're both perfectly executed fantastic representations of this wonderful form of artistic expression we call hip hop.

Based solely on beats, I'd give this to ATLiens, but Rza really did his thing from movie samples, the cinematic feel of the album, and even the song sequencing. As I said before, this breaks down to personal bias for me and I've gotta go with 3 Stacks and Daddy Fat Sacks (with a little help from Organized Noize and Mr. DJ).

While I don't feel either of these are the best produced albums of all time, OB4CL wins this matchup IMO.

ATLiens for me.

... Do I have to vote?

i vote OBFCL in a close one but in the thread it went against 36 Chambers i explained my reasoning in like 2 paragraphs if anyone cares to read lol

This is still tied, we have like 80 members and this is tied at 10-10? I call bullshit.

Let's get some more OB4CL voters in here.

If Shon hasn't voted yet I'll kill him. There isn't much time left.

Only Built For Cuban Linx by about 2 inches over ATLiens

It's basically RZA vs. Organized Noise here, and RZA wins ever so slightly IMO

Although if we're talking about best produced albums of all-time I don't really feel it's either of these two but more like PE-"Nations Of Millions",LL Cool J- "Radio",Group Home- "Livin Proof", Brand Nubian-"One For All",Ultramagnetic MC's- "Critical Beatdown", Nas-"Illmatic", Marley Marl-"In Control Volume 1"

All of those sound better sonically IMO than the ones listed here again IMO, but out of these two I'm picking OB4CL....

OB4CL by one of Powell's hairs

Powell you're a Kool Keith fan?

I'm an Ultramagnetic fan N3RO, that's what I mainly am...I do like Kool Keith as well man, but I always thought he was better when he was in the group..

If you haven't heard "Critical Beatdown" yet then make that a must hear my dude...those beats by the great Ced Gee are just SICK, and the lyrics are just crazy too...

^ Critical Beatdown may be one of the best albums ever that gets the least talked about

Co-Sign, It's what I like to call a "Lost Classic".

I missed the vote....smh

I would have gave it to ATLiens because I play it more. OBFCL has way too many skits in it. If Rae would shut the hell up and rap already, then I'd give it to him. These are the main reasons why I'd give it to ATLiens.
