something wu tang really capture in the their lyrics is the magical realism you sense living in the dingier multicultural metropolises. i always talk about deptford market as being like some fantastical bazzaar arabic folklore. lines like "watch out for haiti bitches, i hear they throw hex" really tap into that sense you get.

Both trash and overrated
And im not ignorant. I gave them both multiple listens and still can’t find the appeal about em. Its just dusty rap over dusty production.
We could have done Enter the Wu-Tang vs. The Infamous too.
Supreme Clientele has always been my favourite. Certainly the one I've listened to most. What a record.
This is just some snowflake gen zer who needs his head flushed down the bogs.
Of course I AGREE
... but..... I sympathise to some degree. It took me ages to get OB4CL. I think it's a difficult record to comprehend at first, as a whole. It did seem grainy and repetitive and I was hoping for something else. Then it clicked and made magnificent sense. In that old Wire piece I mentioned above they describe listening to as looking at a message on a rizla paper under a streetlight, it might just mean something. I think that kind of cryptic difficultly catches something of what it can be like on first listen.
