Wu-Tang - A Better Tomorrow (12/2/14) - Album Discussion Thread(Stream)

Lol I don't want Raekwon to produce anything and if that was a Raekwon solo joint then that means a rza less album didn't happen but you said it did. I agree the finances is the biggest obstacle but it's not impossible. Bruh you clearly have comprehension problems and probably feel dumber cus your trying too hard to understand basic sentences like "I don't want Raekwon to produce the album". Your the type to get emotional off of texts messages cus you interpret shyt like a retard. fukk outta here you p*ssy.

You've contradicted yourself about twenty times.

Nothing you say carries any weight - especially those weak insults. Yikes.

I'm still enjoying this album. One of the few albums from '14 still in rotation.

 

[Soymuscle Mike]

Can we all agree that Gza basically threw his DARK MATTER verses at this album?

I wonder if that's why Rza once called him out for being lazy, or if Gza did this because of what Rza said...

 

[THE 101]

The sleeper track is Mistaken Identity.

I love the 60s psych-rock vibe. Meth's verse is nasty.

 

[Mike Ock]

Any word on that Wu album that people were bidding for? Did the winner receive it yet?

 

[nieman]

Still feeling this album

Was listening to it today

 

[SemiEnlightenedBum]

was bumpin this shyt today,has a few duds(Pioneer The Frontier,Wu Tang Reunion,Ron O'Neal) but the rest ranges from solid to greatness..

there are always going to be super stans of all the great groups in any genre who will always be internally comparing albums to the undeniable classics(and for some reason they usually always tend to be the 1st or 2nd album,especially in hip hop..Rza showed some versatility that worked quite often&all the emcees sounded hungry,especially Rae(prove something to Zig Zag Allah perhaps),GZA,and Masta Killa,Cappa also did an admirable job of being a new ODB(not comparing the two)but i dug his brutal honesty,energy he brought,and his off kilter rhyme structure..

Miracle is thy shyt though,can't wait to evolve and Transmogrify this click on the dramatic dharma wheel...

Unfairly sh!tted on. Dope album. I actually saw the hate coming though, after Rae came with his usual bullsh!t. He should be ashamed of himself by putting out that underwhelming FILA album, after publicly voicing his detest of this album. ABT is MUCH better than FILA.

I was bumping this album last week, and I still feel cats will appreciate it more in a year, or few years, from now. I just even peaked into the Wutangcorp forum board, and even the notoriously corny and hateful dudes over there are warming up to it.

I don't think ABT is much better than FILA.

 

[Billy Ocean]

I don't think ABT is much better than FILA.

I hear you. It's all ones preference. I do though. FILA should have, and could have been much better. What we got from Rae is an album filled with music he thought would be palatable to the younger audience and it just doesn't work, imo. A$ap Rocky, French Montana and 2Chainz? Come on now, Rae. Mostly forgettable, bargain basement beats, and SUPER forgettable guest features. Only reason it won't be labeled Rae's worst album is because The Lex Diamond Story exists. With ABT, at least RZA didn't try to make an album that he thought new generation hip hoppers would like. He did something different, like he does on ALL new Wu albums. I liked it, for the most part. Dope rhymes, nice beats, concepts...and the whole better tomorrow theme kinda fit considering what's going on with the racial tension in America right now. An enjoyable listen. Only thing I can never forgive RZA for on this album is what he did to that GREAT 4th Disciple beat on Miracle. That Disney sh!t was uncalled for.

I really tried to like this album brehs

I gree with you 100%. That hook on Miracle was uncalled for, however it still not bad enough to take me out of the album.

I still think that they should have put a skit of them arguing before Reunion.
