2 ContributorsWhy OB4CL Is Probably The Most Perfect Hip Hop Album Lyrics
“Spot Rushez” we find Rae and Ghost in the beginning feeling like some shit is gonna go down. As we progress through the track with Rae rhyming solo and plotting a heist (well a home invasion but you get the point)casing the place, getting details and finally moving on with the robbery
“Ice Cream” is the party before the big showdown and what a party it is. Here we have Meth on the memorable hook and Cappadonna delivering another standout verse along with Rae and Ghost. Definitely a nice track for the summer
And finally the epic showdown rises with “Wu-Gambinos”. This serves as the epic climax we’ve been waiting for. In the beginning, we hear various clansmen getting prepared and Meth doing a rally call for each. After Meth’s chant, he goes in ripping shit followed by Rae. Afterwards, the man behind the production and sound, RZA drops probably my favorite on the song. With a slick transition comes Masta Killa shooting shit up laying down even more foes before passing the chrome to Ghost so he can sweep the shit clean. This is my favorite song on the album
Next, “Heaven and Hell” which serves as the ending, Rae and Ghost look back on some of the good and bad, and those that were lost throughout the journey. The beat sets the mood well
Last, is “North Star (Jewels),” which serves as the credit roll. Here we have Papa Wu dropping jewels and reminiscing on when Rae was growing up. We find Rae rapping alone of an incident of a man killing his homie’s wife and Rae himself seeks revenge while in the middle of a recoding with RZA who disagrees on retaliation but Rae handles his business anyway. After more words from Papa Wu, the album comes to an end. Indeed a cinematic experience in audio form
TL;DR – The album is a cinematic experience in audio form. The album has a thesis, introduction, body, climax, and ending. I had to write this to celebrate my favorite album’s anniversary
HAPPY 21st Anniversary OB4CL!!!!!!!
