Just his breh because I want to get in on this?

if we can get a different hook on Keep Watch, and a more fleshed out (more bars + members spittin) version of Reunion those tracks will fit in well. this is shaping up nicely brehs

Rae's last line in that listening session "Meetings in the Vatican, drinking scotch with the muscle milk"


Lines so vivid, I can taste how bad that shyt would be

Keep Watch sounds good now. Well the mastered complete version. I pre-ordered it on iTunes and it came with Ron O Neal, Keep Watch and Ruckus in B Minor

Haven't listened that far into it yet. I just peeped Meth's verse and then went to Ruckus in B Minor

Thanks, Kid.

Here's my ratings:

36 Chambers - 5/5

Wu Forever - 5/5

The W - 4.5/5 (Album doesn't get the props it deserves)

Iron Flag - 3/5 (Really not a fan of this album at all)

8 Diagrams - 4/5 (Lotta people dislike it, I think it was a gem)

All in all, I think the Wu has had a solid group album resume. I see that a lot of people on here tend to discredit their group album output (check any @Wacky D thread that references Wu) but they have two undeniable classics and a couple of very good albums.

Yea, I wanna know this as well. I know Mathematics, who produced it, was kind of pissed that Wu management released an unfinished version.

 

[SoulController]

id also give 8D a 4

would rate Iron Flag a little higher, but not much. its a shame it got rushed because the 7-8 standout songs were great, just a couple out of place beats and not much cohesion from track to track like the first 3 had

 

[ZEB WALTON]

I don't care who run the city when the summer come
wu tang forever, still number 1...

shyt on all rappers wit 2 lines

that's my wu tang clan

props breh

I'm going to re-listen to these albums with fresh and kinder ears than I did in the past

 

[MartyMcFly]

The W is, in my opinion, their 2nd best album, even better than Forever. and that's because it was coherent and very consistent. Dark as fukk though. Iron Flag has really high highs but low lows (chrome wheels, soul power, dashing)

 

[ZEB WALTON]

who got the link to the version wit rae n mk

heres 2 group treats you wont hear, Spotlite was recorded for Iron Flag but was left off for some reason. Break Dat has what I consider the last great Dirty appearance







theres a version of Spotlite with Meth spitting that verse it cuts off but its not on youtube
