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

See how fast it turns ill?

But that's the problem, chef ain't saying it. 2 chainz is. and it sounds terrible, as per.

Chef always been fly.

Chainz always sounds like a dufus.

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.
I hear/read what you're saying and you're right. But ghost has been shytting on RZA's live instrumentation for years.
What he do?
He puts out 3, yes, THREE live albums for a I dunno who. The hipsters I guess.
Ghost fans like that 'kunta fly blaxploitation soulful shyt'
You know this.
'we' never fukked with live music.

I'm a fan so I'm not gonna shyt on ghost. I hope he does his numbers.

But I've seen you give ghost a pass for those half assed albums.
I didn't even listen to that 36 season album...I'm really not interested in that shyt.

This Rae album isn't that special but it's better than those 2 live albums I heard put together. Cause at least Rae is trying.
Ghost did those albums for a check and the music is lifeless.

I fukk with you but I had to get that off my chest lol

See, the problem is...I would give more credence to what you posted if it mostly made sense. You can call those Ghost colloboration albums whatever you want..."half assed, lifeless"...but regardless of what you think YOU'RE in the MINORITY. ALL 3 of those albums were critically acclaimed and I salute Ghost for actually trying something different and making it work. You say that Ghost has been sh!tting on RZA live instrumentation for years, but he has been NO WHERE near as ubiquitous and vocal with his RZA criticism as Chef. And even if he was, SO WHAT? He's the only Wu member who has proven TIME AND TIME again that he can make a super high quality album without RZA's involvement. So he can talk. The only albums that Rae has put out that has been universally loved has had RZA fingerprints on it. Everything else has been "meh" to "just good". Just facts, bro. And I'm not really sh!ttin on this album. It has a few really good songs but overall I expected better. And y'all should know that Rae big time opened himself up for criticism by being on this seemingly 2 year crusade calling this album special and also by sh!ttin heavy on RZA's production.

sour soul>>36 seasons>>>>>Fila>>>12 reasons. Fila has 3 or 4 banger but ive head the estelle joint two years ago as well as sound boy kill it. I think rae needs to connect with a producer that has a vision for him because this album has no sonic cohesiveness. Thats what made shaolin vs wutang and ob4cl 2 so much better (despite not being anywhere near the lyrical level of ob4cl or immobilarity) is that all the beats had a similar flow within those albums that made it a complete project. Fila seems lazily put together and production seems cheap. Im with those who feel rae needs to holla at madlib or alchemist. Alchemist for sure is on raes dikk i met them at rock the bells with mobb deep, ghost and rae. Ya boy alchemist was all over rae talkin that legend shyt lol.
