Raekwon - Fly International Luxurious Art (F.I.L.A.) (Discussion Thread)

So did I. Nice track overall.

Album has a few standout tracks (Heated Nights, All About You, Revory)but a lot of forgettable ones. And the intro and skits are corny as sh!t. Right now I'm feeling this is with Lex Diamond Story for Chef worst album. 3/5 maybe. Chef shouldn't have talked all that sh!t about RZA and then release this. A Better Tomorrow is a better album.

No it's not.

No it's not.

I take A Better Tomorrow over this all day and twice on Sunday. Definitely better album, imo. Unfairly sh!tted on and a big reason is because Rae influenced a lot of people's stance on it. Wasn't that great of an idea to sh!t on RZA then release a meh album filled with Scram Jones and Jerry Wonda beats.

Ghost did his thing on 4 In The Morning and Revory, as per usual. Ross on Revory also. These skits are just as lame as the cover.

Chef rhymed VERY well on here tho, no question.

 

[The Ruler 09]

This shyt out? Dope. If somebody could let me hear it would be dope, props in advance,

What do people think?

You should expected those productions.

You should expected those productions.

Actually any reasonable person would think Rae would link with better hip hop producers if they heard his anti-RZA rants last year. I don't care what anyone says, todays RZA is better than any n!gga who produced on this FILA album.

Rae on Sway in the morning:

Dope Interview, it's crazy how you have some of the Older Gods say less but at the same time say alot..then you have nikkas like 50 who goes into details to the point it loops nikkas

 

[Billy Ocean]

O and don't get me wrong, I don't hate the production on here, there's even a few dope beats, but Rae had me feeling he was gonna do better.

Better historically. Presently? That's debatable. Rae alluded to the type of production he would have on the album a long time ago.

I feel you mson. He did allude to the sound he was looking for but he also claimed this sh!t was a classic. I take RZA beats on ABT over most beats on here. What's your thoughts on the album?
