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

[SoulController]

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

yea, its been 1 for hiphop on iTunes all week. should be respectable, they can do that

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)

you know why that came out so soon, right? Loud was about to fold, it was either get one last check or wait until they signed another deal. not making excuses, it should have better, but that was the circumstances of that album

there was a RZA interview years ago where he said, Chrome Wheels/Soul Power/One of These Days and Back In The Game were added super late. you can tell with 3 of em, I love Back. I still bump the potent joints, about 7 of em. add a couple OST and non album cuts and boom

Even having not known that officially it was painfully obvious that was a last ditch cash grab. No interludes was a giveaway. Half the songs having Rza west coast digi style being the other.


Plus it came out mad fast after The W.

I never missed ODB so badly. The album is nice but some personality would've put it over the top

 

[nieman]

at that shyt. He had the straight "Immobilarity"

And U-God straight said "I forgot the name of that ish" CTHU

Why is Cap Wu again? Dude missed everything. And U-God had a real job? WOW

Yeah, if they had recorded themselves in a room or before a studio session just talkin ish or arguing or whatever ish they do, and placed it right before Reunion....this album would have been an undisputed classic

First off, thanks for doing this,

1.What are some of your favorite up and coming hip hop artists?

2.What's your opinion on the new Wu album? Meth has called it "RZA's Album" and it generally seems like there's some problems within the Clan, so it would be cool to get your view on the album itself and the whole situation.

3.I assume you're into comicbooks, so what's your favorite Superhero/Villain?

What can your fans expect from you in the future?
Just look out for that Blue & Cream, the sequel to Supreme Clientele. It's almost finished. I'm trying to see if I can release it sometime in August, September 2015, somewhere in the fourth quarter. I got Twelve Reasons to Die part two coming out. And I'm with Raekwon, and we're gonna do this third Only Built 4 Cuban Linx album. There's a whole lot of stuff. I got books full of music.

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.

Muggs.

[W.I.Z.E.]

good lord meth been snapping lately.

Album needs more of Rae and ghost. Less cab driver. Oh and area cam through on the lyrics.

 

[Big Mel]

One thing i noticed is how much better Raekwon is than the rest of the clan currently. He sounded incredible on his parts.

 

[NormanConnors]

Method Man delivered the strongest on the album, too--he's the glue holding it together song-to-song IMO.

Deck delivered also, i expected more out of the GZA, but Cappa was the weak link to me on this release, ugod was spitting on the few verses he had imo

 

[NormanConnors]

You don't like Felt, tho?

Hopefully people who don't like it feel they can come in and express their views, haha.

I actually do want to hear this stuff with a live band...only issue is if these guys aren't into the music they made, it'll be obvious on stage.

But yeah..for example, I think '40th Street Black' would be a crazy performance if done right.

yeah "40th street black" and especially "mistaken identity" gave a feeling of the wu meets the legendary roots crew, came off dope and would translate live imo
