Wu-Tang - A Better Tomorrow (12/2/14) - Album Discussion Thread(Stream)

[g-ice]

I know right. I'm amazed at how many people in here are downplaying The W. Some reviewer once called it the melancholy masterpiece and I agree completely.

I'm not downplaying that shyt. I heard that shyt this morning. That shyt is definitely dope as fukk but I think this resonates better already.

Well for me of course!!

 

[MartyMcFly]

About to listen for a second time now

 

[Stainless Bobby]

Yoooo! Some of y'all pum pum nikkas in here was hatin on Preacher's Daughter? That shyt is crazy.

Pioneer the Frontier on repeat. 10 songs in, this album is nice.

 

[Wepa Man]

• Beats are dope,
• some of those GZA verses rivaled Killah Priest entire PWOWR double LP,
• RZArectah is dead ,
• Cappa went in,
• the 1st hook of Miracle is horrific, the closing one is dope.
• Deck, Ghost, and Rae were dropping heavy imagery on their bars.
• Forever, 36, W, Iron Flag, ABT, 8D
• Wish we can get a clan LP with a entire Sunz of Man feature.

I'd put this over Iron Flag off first listen.

im john blazed up....half drunk...OK lets get this album poppin !

 

[Theabbot]

Is this gonna be the one? The album that I cop after 15 years of picking up albums that "fell off the truck"??

P.s. Can somebody pass the mustard while I wait for it to drop?

PM brehs

 

[King Ming]

Miracle is SICK!!!!
that hook

 

[Figaro]

The beat on 'Pioneer the Fronteer' is peak RZA, like he was back in the basement again...smoking those blunts laced with angel dust & eating nothing but turkey burgers.

 

[*L*E*G*A*C*Y*]

Wu-head since 1994 here....

20 years.

Wu is forever.

So far, this is hot as fukk.

ok my review...Cappadonna did his thing..Raekwon felt like a guest feature but boy was he spittin...Ghostface fell short on ruckus but made up for himself..Gza Deck and Meth are still the best spitters in the Clan..Rza was cool and Masta was Mvp...didnt like mistaken Identity or miracle...preachers daughter was too long as if Rza was tryin to make us like it but i didnt....all in all...The W rules..Iron Flag after....but this is light years beyond 8 diagrams...i dont like Wu over Jazz tho...wtf was Rza thinkin ????????...nice way to end a legacy ...4/5....EDIT..this was Rza's Graduation so to speak meaning this album was meant to be stadium status...not sure i want Wu in the lime light like that...its still there 5th best jawn tho...bout to replay it...

my first playthrough this afternoon was No. Nah. Negative.

had a good dozen qualms with the first 5 tracks and by then the listening experienced was ruined.

i hate iron flag and this sounds just like it to me. i heard maybe 5 tracks i really liked.

some of this shyt sounded like Bside mixtape soundtrack shyt and not like a Wu-Tang album cut

beats were too soft. lyrics was light. the most standout track to me was 40th street.

ima re-listen to it manana

*edit*

i hate singing on wu-tang songs. no singing. if it aint issac hayes or some shyt no please

also ther was a verse where deck was spazzin. should've let him keep goin. same for meth them nikkaz wet in.

I actually agree with just blaze, the mxing on many of the songs was no bueno for me
