It's crazy the rae flow and rhymes have aged the second best after gza.
GFK legacy is cemented. I argue with Billy all the time. GFK doesn't have it anymore. It happens. And I am and remain the biggest GFK fan
12 Ways to Die and 36 Seasons were dope too.
Nope it's just not the same man. The voice pitch, the cadence , the energy.You not feeling what he's spittin in the video posted?
Ghost and wus problem imo is they wanna sound like the guys who are getting play on the radio instead of sounding like thenselves.
Its a weird thing and I dont understand it because every album labled a “comeback” album for them still had the essence of their style of production in it.
I dont wanna hear ghost over fat joe type beats (yupp) or dblock beats (wu block) or whatever.
Like the al track he showed from sc2 from the versus was the best ive heard from him in years.
Ykim (royal fam, killah priest - from then til now producer) said that rza told him ghost is cheap and dont wanna pay for production. Honestly, thats pretty much fact to me at this point.
I get it but wu has been chasing others sounds for years when in the beginning they were on some fukk the industry stuff.Its difficult. These guys are artists at the end of the day, them pushign forward and trying to keep up...is why we got 36 chambers, OB4CL etc. Telling them to be "just them". This *is* them. They're trying to keep up an be current the same way they were back in 2000.
That being said, i too think they have a solid style an niche an should stick to that box
Redman said it best. "My sound is nineteen ninety NOW." As a breh making video games, i take that same approach to my work too.I get it but wu has been chasing others sounds for years when in the beginning they were on some fukk the industry stuff.
Everytime they go back to the sound, they get rave reviews ie. No said date and cuban linx 2.
Yet its like they still chasing hits like fat joe snd thats just not their lane imo
