Liquid Swords, I think this album has more soul than OB4CL.
Also GZA vocabulary is not made up like Rae slang but actual words.

Agreed....I think Rae's was a classic and had Ice Cream which to this day, is the greatest summer song ever lol

But Liquid Swords was pure brilliance.

No doubt, actually Rae introduce me to New York hiphop when I bought his single for Ice Cream. And love that piano loop, made me think of Ripley Believe it or Not jingle. And just like the jingle, it made me think of mystery. And completely lost me with the slang, couldn't make sense of what he said. But when I got Liquid Swords it was a movie. I could picture everything, and one of the epic verses from a futuristic dystopian world. "The year 2002, the battle still with the Wu, six million devils will die, from the bubonic flu...".
That just blew my mind open, made me a super fan with the Wu.

Absolutely. Those dudes raised me. I literally studied everything they did. Soundtrack to my teenage years for sure.
