[Da King]

This album is weak, but not as bad Wu weed plate

 

[mortuus est]

the intro sounds so nice when hes talking

 

[mortuus est]

Heated Nights sounds like something @Tuaminator would really like

 

[Pool_Shark]

French gave them a classic track. Finally listening to this album.

 

[FreshAIG]

I don't think the album is that disappointing.

Yeah I'm hearing for the first time on the Combat Jack Show and I like it. It's cool. It's not a mindblowing classic album but it's a solid project. nikkas go from either it's classic or wack. No inbetween with these dudes.

 

[Cynic]

Dope album, played all the way through without a glitch.

 

[jaguar paw]

I fukk with Revory.

 

[unseen]

Haven't heard it all but doesn't sound bad at all. A little mainstream sounding more so than a wu album but solid nontheless and it's not his worst.

 

[mobbinfms]

Just copped this from Best Buy

 

[nieman]

I just purchased and listed all the way through on the ride home. This album is ehhhh. I was fooled too, with the intro and 4AM starting it off so strongly, it was a nosedive after that. Now lyrically, Rae KILLS the album. But teh music just isn't there.

I Got Money has a wack hook and wack ASAP verse. There's a wack French verse. I'd like that song, if not for French. French fans, can he rap? I'm really asking. SMH at 2Chainz & Snoop. Fila World is weak, 1,2,1,2 my problem is Snoop.

I only like 4AM, the Revory jawn is oka even though Ghost phones it in, again...and Nautilis. BUT Rae does kill the album lyrically. I think that with this album, you really see why he needs RZA. I have this album around Lex Diamond Story...between that and Shaolin vs Wu

wasn't bad on first listen

 

[Foxmulder]

Album isn't bad at all. But we know Rae could do better. shyt is like 12 singles. No theme at all. I see people hating on French and 2chainz I thought they were good on this.

Really nice song. I like it more than most the other tracks on the album.
