Better than Iron Flag, but overall poor sound quality. It's crazy that they didn't get together in the Studio and bang the tracks out together.My favorite track is the Wolves Remix, U-God blacked out on that shyt. Chamber Music and Legendary Weapons were dope because all the artist involved had to go to the studio, no emailing verses etc.. were allowed.

Starter Chick and Stick Me for your Riches made the LP but not Watch Your Mouth?

Campfire blew me away, that shyt is a legit great Wu track; dope beat dope verses. But the album never reached that level again, and seemed to just get worse. It's not "bad" but it's like the ultimately forgettable album. Feels like a bunch of random b-sides.

I liked the ode to ODB song but most those beats was wack. I haven’t listen to that shyt since it dropped.

Always loved and repped for this album, it was missing some energy but the shyt is hard.

Rae and Ghost were foul for going on their anti-Rza campaign, talmbout the Neptunes and Timbaland should be producing the next Wu album :russ:
As much as we can say this album was disappointing, it's head and shoulders above A Better Tomorrow

Ghostface talking gibberish while on a Neptunes beat while Rae regales tales about cooking coke over the stove:lolbron: with the obligatory Clipse feature. I would have loved to hear that.


RZA at this point was too busy sucking off QT and Russell Crowe, I would have left the EP credit to Rae and Ghost.

Wu rapping on some South shyt wouldn’t have been bad.


I don’t know any cats who bump Wu down South.


That would have been a good market to tap into.

Rae was living in Atlanta so he knew what was up.

I agree, as disappointing as this one was that album is just HORRIBLE you mentioned, their worst by far.

I have a tendency to like albums by big names that other people hate, I don't know why. I liked this and A Better Tomorrow. I dunno.
