[dubsmith_nz]

Need shyt like this

All I can hear is Nate Dogg when I hear that sample

 

[u mad son?]

Production list sounds like another raekwon flop

 

[-Quikness-]

I hate to be negative but how f*cking hard is it to get Alc, Muggs, Daringer, Conductor, etc. and make an album that actually sounds like a Wu project?

There is literally an entire subgenre of rap now that sounds like 90's hip-hop and 90's rappers (mostly) refuse to utilize it. It's mind boggling.

Swizz... ok but what else

I like Nottz and Justice League, but I'm sensing that's maybe 1-2 beats each with the rest being no names

Not dismissing it but that's disappointing without context

I've been saying the same for years!

Seems like the easy choice to make. But Rae's clearly chasing some other sh*t. I don’t get it either.

Sometimes, MC's don’t really know what they need. Or might not have the right people around them to let them know.

Nottz and Justice League are no slouches, and Swizz can be good for ONE banger per 2-3 albums. Rae hasn’t been on that Wu sound wave since Shaolin Vs Wu-Tang as a solo artist so I was never really thinking of that type of sonic landscape for him in the first place.

Also we don’t know what other producers are on the album. I say we wait until we get a tracklist to start worrying. I really don’t think Raekwon would sign up to be part of this Legend Has It campaign just to drop a dud or half-ass it.

The play has been right there to make for a decade now. Lot of vet rappers didn't do it for some reason. I don't get it at all. I'm not even saying let Gunn exec produce because I wouldn't want that. But that producer list basically tells you this is gonna sound like something that came out in 2010.

IMO- it sounds dumb and that explanation makes no sense because he named HIS album that. So that title refers to his album, as if saying his album is: "The Emperor's New Clothes".

Even when NAS named his album HHID it was dumb and dissing himself just as much as the rest of the rappers.

Hopefully this album won't be mid like HHID, cause I fukking hated half that album.
