We heard Poppa Wu on the intro to Rae's Northstar and the outro to the greatest Wu song ever All That I Got Is You.

So this was an underwhelming appearance by comparison. Foreshadowing the underwhelming album
Yes, for sure. This intro was kinda all over the place. The outro on all that I got is you is bliss, and you was already like :mjcry: by that point in the song


"...WHY? :to:





You see....the universe, which consists of the sun and moon...:ohhh:"

I think all of these fall under "arguable", but all definitely have credibility to have as good or better than Wu-Tang forever for sure.

It changes.

But it's usually:

The Low End Theory
Death Certificate
OB4CL
The Infamous
Ready to Die or Criminal Minded or It Takes A Nation...
Shyt I fukking LOVE LOVE LOVE Wu-Tang Forever but not only do I cosign this list ...I don't think Forever is a Top 5 Wu album!

36 Chambers
Liquid Swords
Cuban Linx
Return to the 36: Dirty
Supreme Clientele
Ironman
Shyt 6 Feet Deep Gravediggaz
Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars

I'd rank all of those over Forever...

Na

Wutang forever is a different type of album

Its like a book intro. Sets the tone. And makes reunited SMASH. 8 min intro to a 2.5 hr album. Non stop bars. It needed it in a way. Set the whole tone of the album. That it would be DIFFERENT. Rza made the right call on some ART shyt. It was like sitting at 5% meeting irl. It sets the entire theme up.

People who hate it are casual rap heads who want that quick mcdonalds like pop fix with a toy. They arent serious wu heads. This was a home cooked meal. With the fixings.

And The intro was saying grace, the prayer before we EAT. Ley me know this shyt was gon be monumental. 1 of a kind intro.

Anyone who skips wu revolution or second coming is not a wu fan like that.
