[BlackDiBiase]

Louis Rich the 3rd - Rae the greatest.

This slaps. Sound like some classic RZA sh1t.

 

[Corndog]

[TripleAgent]

Fred.

 

[Rhyme 4 Rhyme]

Isn't this an old song? Feel like I heard these Rae lyrics before.

 

[NikFuq]

Deck sounds rejuvenated like it was 97 cuz these are old verses ... Decks is from "Word on the Street"

 

[Corndog]

 

[Zero]

Knew this shyt was old when Deck said "po-nine"

Everyone getting verse deja vu: this is a rework of the unreleased Rap Burglars originally produced by Math with these Deck and Rae verses that Math put on his Unreleased album:



Song was recorded during Forever sessions and, when it didn't drop, Deck reused his verse for Word on the Street.

Pretty common for Wu to reuse verses on other tracks if they didn't surface back then. For example, when Lay Your Hammer Down was also left off Forever, Deck's reused his verse on American Cream Team and GZA reused his verse on KP's Cross My Heart.

Rae voice sounds like its audio from the 2000s. He dont even sound nowhere near that voise wise. Album is a mathematics cut n paste job from what ive seen so far

I still can't understand why "put your hammer down" was left off of WF. That would have easily been a top 3 song on the album.

It's such a short song too. You could easily fit it in and still do your mandated enhanced disc 1.

fukk, overseas got the Projects remix and Sunshower added (which, as positioned, remains the perfect album closer, which is why it starts w/ the helicopters fading out from Rae's outro).

Plus you have tracks like "The Chase" that are remnants of RZA's original concept for Forever as a storytelling album to be followed by a track of Meth rescuing him.
