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

[Billy Ocean]

Breh I'll believe it when I see it. Rae talked about Cuban Linx 3 2 years ago. Ghost has been talking about blue and Cream even longer. If all of this comes out I'll be pleasantly surprised. And with all the acrimony they went through for this wu album, is RZA even overseeing Cuban Linx 3?

I believe it because it's coming out of Ghosts mouth this time. Not Rae's. And at this point I would probably rather see a Ghost/Rae project with a producer(s) in the similar vein to an Alchemist than RZA. Ghost and Rae just haven't been on the same page with RZA in A LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time. Fvck around they do that project with RZA involvement and they'll end up sh!tting on it too.

I'm still on the fence but I feel you. I'll believe it when I see it. No need to get hyped for something until it's in my hands or on my computer

No doubt, Marty. Even if it doesn't happen, we'll still be getting the sequels to Supreme Clientele and Twelve Reasons. Maybe even more. Ghost has been living in the studio these past 2 years. In a few weeks we'll be talking about his collaborative album with BADBADNOTGOOD that's dropping in February.

I'll believe those joints when I have them in hand too breh. Not saying I don't believe Ghost but I'll still wait to be excited

first physical CD bought in over 3 years, still fully digesting after a few listens but definitely not dissapointed with this album, RZA reinforcing his production genius, and the rest of the clan, although not quite as sharp overall as previous years at their peak, still got it, and outshine most of todays rappers with ease ... going with a 9/10 for now !

I'll take Miracle over half of Iron Flag.

yall know its either a) the black "i only listen to whats on teh radio, fukk nthem old nikkas" fans or B) elitist whiteys who necver bumped wu in their prime finding things to complain about or totally disregarding what wu IS

Sadly, this seems to be the case.

'Miracle' is the richest, most full sounding, ominous 4th Disciple beat I've heard in mad long. What's the status of Killarmy these days? Sin locked up again?

Sin will probably be in jail for awhile. He shot a n!gga in the parking lot of a Staten Island club last year.

That's right. Too bad. He was starting to catch features again.

The way I see the beats on this album is you've got the music beats, the ones that really work well with the live instrumentation and then you've got the hip hop beats. It flows so effortlessly.

 

[Big Mel]

Alright. Played it this morning sober for the third time. Rock solid 3.5 to 4 mic album. Not as good as 8 Diagrams but a few songs are better than anything on that album. Way better than Iron Flag.


the live instrumentation towards the end of the album starts to wear thin especially surrounded by the Teddy Tenderass sample. The kung fu sound bites really help the album drum up nostalgia and that "brother, i think that necklace is causing you too much trouble" shyt is awesome.

 

[Soymuscle Mike]

The kungfu and ODB put life into the album, Rza obviously had a new concept in his head which is already why it's better than iron flag whoch sounded like a bunch of songs that weren't considered good enough for the W (IF had some bangers too UZI is still ill)

 

[Big Mel]

I wonder what the first week numbers will be. Can they scan 50k in 2014?
