Hollow Bones and Nighttime Vultures show why raekwon is a hall of famer

I'm feeling weezy, and I'm drained from the cheebah, grieven
Ain't even looking decent, seeing police, nikkas reachen...

I see the whole seen everytime I hear that verse. Last seen when he's hit it slowly zooms out of all the chaos like the end of a movie. Then I'm over top of the city while the chorus goes aND then zoom back into a different part of the city for decks verse

Fleeing the crime scene, speedin
Beefin, leavin behind cream, not even peepin that I was leakin...

defo an underated album.. personal classic ! Careful (Click Click) one of my favorite wu songs

i think people hate on it because they think of gravel pit as a sell out song when in actual fact apart from the hook its nothing like it.. and they were all still spitting on it...

Also i think because we were spoilt with the double album before this people didnt think it was enough tracks...

can listen to the W from start to finish quite easily ! 5/5 album for me :whew:

it is dope but something missing..maybe its the assemble of the tracks..too short or soemthing?
i love the nas joint feature..i first heard that on a mixtape and was amplified up.
It feels like a mixtape from that era, which is dope to me though. The album was gutter as hell

Ghost on I Can't Go To Sleep and Jah World :mjcry:

I love the way RZA themed this album w/ the drums being the focal instrument on each track instead of the typical background of the beat. The crew took a step back lyrically from Forever but still a great album.

Also, if it wasn't edited, I think I'd prefer the live instruments remix of I Can't Go To Sleep over the sampled album version. The louder drums on the mix fit the album better.

The W was the last great/solid Wu-Tang album just like Stankonia was the last great/solid Outkast album.
