thing with all those Wu group albums after the first one is you get dissapointed in the moment but later on you go back and see they kinda underrated

It's a shame how NY radio kinda killed them by black listing them at what should've been their peak. They had enough momentum to keep going for a few more years, but that was a big catalyst. They always had internal shyt but i feel like that was a big damaging impact, that killed the momentum of of "Wu Tang Forever". Which led to them really splintering off to do their own thing. And when they got back together for "The W" it was never the some essence. But still they had some decent shyt on that album and even the "Iron Flag" album after that. Pinky Ring is always gonna be an all time favorite Wu-Tang track for me, them horns are crazy. And they will always be my 3rd favorite group behind NWA and Geto Boys. And they all had the same internal issues

It was dope, my favorite track was the song at the end of Conditioner with GZA and Deck that shyt was hard but then cuts off? Conditioner song itself was terrible snoop verse the beat and ODB verse was juat garbage, also has to be the wackiest album photo shoot of all of them in a factory the fukk was that about?

13 tracks only was let down, should of been at least 18 songs
