……..10 years later Imma have to repeat myself, Math is not it man, soiled relationships bad business or not they HAD elite producers…Math is only good for 1 beat on a project, when you have several duds its not because fans wont grow with your growth its because the shyt is just weak

These Kung Fu ninja ass beats man....smh
Why and When did they lean into this sound?

Wu was soulful and hard at the same time...not this.

Either way I fukking hate it
Breh...:dead:

I think you hit the nail on the head of why I can never fukk with these projects after the first listen.

The production on these joints sound like they come straight out of a cheesy comic book. :heh:

The "soul" Math is trying to imitate comes in the form of someone wailing like a banshee for no reason in the middle of the beat :francis:

He's to married to an era and it's not coming thru organically. It become a creative hurdle.

The reality is, they all this way

I love true master and 4th but rza picked their best stuff. Without rza all of them suffer. Love 4th havent liked a thing hes done since 04 and trues priest album was not it.

This album got a few good joints. See people sayinf math reuses stuff. Math dont reuse stuff on supposed REAL albums. Mixtapes and compilations he does. Not a real wu album.Albums lazy as f. Bad remixes of better songs.

Mandingo and lions pit are the strongest

Cleopatra and claudine are good little joints.

Rest is whatever. Some stuff i wouldnt turn off but wouldnt put on either


That rap burglar is disgusting in a bad way. Original is a classic. All he had to do was mix it and it was guaranteed. Its a rare song most people never heard. But no… that was a bad beat.

That executioners song is boring. Sounds like a sample was stripped last minute and noone filled it in.

Benny and mighty healthy joint song are cool if your into those rappers. Im not really.

Between this and the last math/wu i got a nice little playlist. But i wouodnt even compare it to actual wu albums.

This is the og version. Also done by math. Way better beat. Feels like a old wu song because it is. Idk why he would even redo it. New beat sucks

Technically the verse dropped on this first before WOTS


I knew Rae's verse sounded familiar too. I had this on a mixtape around '97-98. Once I saw the title, I knew I heard it before.

I always felt like Math was the weakest of the Wu-Elements. I only like a handful of cuts on his compilations.

Rest is a nope for me. Boring.
i agree. Underwhelming use of the wu name and unfortunately able to be labeled a wu album. This should be listed as a mathematics shaolin compilation. Bronze Nazareth does a much better job connecting modern beat technology with dust old wu soul samples. See butter knives from Shaolin vs Wu Tang or school for the blindman album..... Wu refuses to work with or do projects with Bronze, 4th or Alchemist which all 3 would die to work with any wu general on a project. Can u imagine even a Deck x Alc project? let alone a Ragu album done by alchemist or bronze. shyt would be guaranteed classics but no.... wu would rather give us shyt like this than we got rae and ghost going to D level no name producers for all there beats now. WTF is wrong wit these nikkaz man

Thank you Zero, that is exactly what I mean in terms of type of soul he tries to apply to his beats nowadays
