I actually like the 2 Chainz track. Album isn't bad. Not really a Wu sounding album though.

 

[BlackDiBiase]

French Montana killed it thats the joint, im running through the album right now.

 

[TrifeGod]

Shaolin v Wu is much better than this.
2 Chainz is just awful, god awful..... "these nikkaz is dead already / i use machetes to eat spaghetti"

But yea, that ASAP track is terrible.

This album is getting worse the more i listen. I gotta stop

The Ghost featured tracks and solo tracks are keepers, the rest gotta go

Say "these nikkaz is dead already / i use machetes to eat spaghetti" in Chef's voice.

See how fast it turns ill?

 

[Pinyapplesuckas]

i like it for the most part

I pre ordered. not expecting much but Chef is still Chef. I, for one, thought Shaolin Vs. Wu Tang was stellar.

Nope. I'm triple black and hood as fvck. This album ain't that great, imo. Not bad, but not great either. Rae coulda and shoulda done much better.

Hip Hop Legend Raekwon Takes over Music Choice's Rap Channel
April 24
7:47 2015

Raekwon, Hip Hop Legend and Game Changer, is taking over Music Choice's Rap Channel to celebrate the release of his new album Fly International Luxurious Art (FILA). Popular tracks featuring Raekwon will be featured throughout the day on the MC Rap Channel culminating in an exclusive sneak peak of the entire album in its entirety on Monday, April 27th at 8pm ET, the night before being released. Music Choice will also host his official album listening party at its studios the same day that will be hosted by Combat Jack (http://www.thecombatjackshow.com)
It's been close to two decades since Raekwon The Chef dropped his pivotal solo debut, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx (a.k.a. "The Purple Tape"). The project changed the game of '95, as Hip-Hop reached a crossroads where street philosophies and the lap of luxury didn't see eye-to-eye. Raekwon bridged that gap. The Shaolin native and Wu-Tang legionnaire cracked the code of the streets and managed to strike a balance, keeping all corners of the rap game happy. The Chef who kept us fed for 20 summers is back with his sixth solo album, Fly International Luxurious Art (F.I.L.A.), once again tying worlds together and reclaiming his spot as the artist who can do it all.

CHAIN, I fvcks wit you but I don't think so. @GHOSTTOAST is one of that fringe sect that been b!tchin about the quality COLLABORATION albums Ghost been putting out like it's been his projects. They aren't his projects. He was basically commissioned to do something and he did it well and ALL 3 were VERY well received. They're really only Ghostface albums in name alone. This FILA album is Rae's child. His concepts, ideas, he cherrypicked the guests, the beats. AND He spent a good portion of 2014 dissing the man who, when he's involved with his projects, makes his albums hot. I expected better. But don't get me wrong....I warmed up a little bit to the album, but I still think it's nothing but a 3.5/5 album and nothing I'd really wanna listen to too much in the future.
