This album has no tracks that are even remotely close to bad and there are many great songs. Raekwon is great as he always was back then. The real genius behind this album was RZA. Put extra emphasis on "genius." This is produced so damn well and it's so original too. There are no albums that can capture this sound. Only RZA was capable of such a feat. He used original samples, crafted his beats perfectly, and created a cohesive sounding album that manages to never get redundant. The outcome was the creation of an album that has high replay value, will always be original, will always sound uniquely great, and will never be matched. Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, and all of the other Wu-Tang members are great. We even get to hear a guest verse from Nas on "Verbal Intercourse," which happens to be among my favorite hip hop verses of all time. Many have said that this album has a cinematic feel to it. I don't doubt it. It's basically like listening to a gangster movie. It's a one of a kind experience that never gets old. OB4CL is an essential album for hip hop fans, especially fans of Wu tang, hardcore hip hop, east coast hip hop, Mafioso hip hop, and boom bap. I recommend that you obtain this album immediately if you haven't already. You can download it illegally, buy it on iTunes, order it online, or buy it at a store. Hell, you can even murder someone that owns it and steal it (though I don't recommend it). The bottom line is that no hip hop collection is complete without this.
