And it’s still a classic
Last great group album from Wu. Borderline classic. Hollow Bones still one of my favorite hip hop tracks for whatever reason. Conditioner the only skip for me
Gravel Pit being seen as a sellout commercial track funny, seeing where hip hop gone since. Song was alright even if the video goofy as hell

Solid album. Too bad ODB was only on one track
But Click, Click, the Intro, and Hollow Bones are my three favorite tracks.

I haven’t listened to “The W” since the year it came out. I remember liking some of it. I’ll give it a front to back spin tomorrow.
This thread made me think of “8 Diagrams”. Another one I hadn’t listened to in a while. I bought that shyt day 1, went straight to my barracks room and put it in my CD player. I enjoyed it then but remember shytting on it. I just skipped though it after reading some of this thread and it actually sounds good. In a way it as behind the times when it dropped, but ahead of its time because the gritty boom bap sound became popular again with younger artists 6-7 years after it dropped. I’m going to give it as spin tomorrow too.

The W is a fine album. 8/10 at worst.

Sadly, I couldn't get into The W.
I remember copping this when it dropped, and wanting to take it back. I just felt like RZA's best days were already behind him, and the group didn't seem as connected as they did just 6-7 years before. It was over by 2000. Then when they all started coming out and doing interviews about the internal issues, it all made sense.
The fall-off started on Wu-Tang Forever and never turned around.
