I have a love/hate relationship with this album.

Love the beats and rhymes.

Hate the fact that putting ODB on half those tracks, including this one, would've made it 10 times better

looking back, it's funny how much hate this album got when it first dropped. a lot of great wu material on this album. take it back, when the heart gently weeps (even though ghostface's solo version was better), windmill, rushing elephants, gun will go.

Always loved Rushing Elephants, fukking ridiculous beat, album was always a bit to me, it has it's moments though, always hated The Heart Gently Weeps track.

Word I remember the amount of hate the album got upon release. I heard there was internal conflict between the wu members and Rza concerning the creative direction of the album.

GFK and Raekwon were pissed about the beats besides other things like GFK album dropping within the same time frame as 8 diagrams.

pretty sure this was around the time ghost was suing rza. i'm sure that didn't help the situation.

Ahhhh yes, yall are bringing back the memories concerning the drama that occurred around th ths time...
