They recorded most of the album while on tour last year. Parts were recorded on tour. Parts in the old Wu Mansion. Some verses was even laid down a few weeks ago in NY. What do you think this single is for? Album is in it's super final stages of development, breh. They already set a June release date.

Didn't they drop a single a while back, too? Family Affair or something? And unless I misread it, Raekwon didn't show up for any of the recording sessions.

Ok, yeah. This says it's "almost ready to ship" but the whole thing sounds like a fukking mess. I'm worried.

Family Affair wasn't an official single. Just a feel good song RZA threw out there. And Rae is the only member who hasn't recorded for the new album.

I'm Hard Like D-Block Readin The Book Of Enoch...
shyt is dope,if it were thee old dayze i'd say it wasn't really single material,but i doubt the Wu cares about such rules anymore..

and i'm a Rae fan but for some reason i don't think i'd miss him too much,there's plenty of emcees to take his place,even thee Papi Wardrobe king smashed this track..

i really dont give two sh!ts if rae on the LP or not.

that man has released so much material in the last seven years they could just take old verses and nikkaz still probably wouldnt kno

his work ethic is crazy and he did the two things he said he would do, make another classic cuban linx LP with ghost and a joint wit :ahh:

as far as him complainin im not sure what those are but i liked this song a lot but couldve done without the singing.

damn everyone went in, and id even say deck mightve had the worst verse :mindblown:

Good to know this is not the final version, that beat didn't sound finished, kinda has the same feel to it some of the leaked Dr. Dre songs some years ago, it's pretty good but it still sounds like something is missing.

edit. and oh yeah, Cappadonna kinda surprised me, imo he had the 2nd best verse after Meth

exactly. I love Rae, he's one of my fav members, but he isn't necessary for the album. More meth/ghostface/gza/deck is just fine and dandy with me.

Wu's been trash since wu forever..but luckily they got a cult following, so when they make albums their fans will support them with enough money where they can buy food from whole foods for a few months instead of shopping at the bodegas and borrowing food from clerks like their broke asses usually do..

shyt is kinda light to me, like that song last year. And the whole marketing for this has been terrible so far. How the fukk you gon have preorders pop up like that when it wasn't even confirmed in the first place. Every interview is still floating in the 'will it even happen stage' :mindblown:
I expect more from 20+ years industry experience.
