Wu Tang CLan's The W revisited

[Wavy Hair Chipped Teeth]

What was missing was the good songs on 'Iron Flag' should have replaced the weaker songs on 'The W'



'in the hood' should have replaced 'chamber music'

'dashing' should have replaced 'one blood'

'Ya'll been warned' should have replaced 'thang thang'

'radiocative' should have replaced 'gravel pit'

'uzi' and 'iron flag' should have replaced "clap"

lowkey the intro was the best song on the tape. this shyt is

The way RZA made the Strings blend into the Bassline

LET MY nikkaS LIVE

I first heard that shyt on a Clue tape. ALl them went off on it but Nas raped that shyt.

As far as this album I LOVED it from the day it dropped. Wasn't feeling Gravel Pit all that much and one or two other tracks but overall always considered this shyt a personal classic.

 

[BlackDroog]

In hindsight it is really good but at the time it released, I set unfair expectations by comparing it to Forever and was disappointed overall....I eventually grew to love it after the first several listens. There are some bangers on there.

 

[Formerly known as...]

Love this album, played it a lot when it came out.

Didn't ODB lay his 'Conditioner' verse down whilst on the run or some shyt?

Meth on Chamber music

This was the last Wu album I actually checked for. Not given any of their music much of a chance since.

Gravel Pit kind of fukked it up for me. I couldn’t get over that flintstones shyt. I think that song is big in Europe though for some reason

Actually one of their biggest hits ever internationally. I like the song. Video was campy but I fukk wit it.

 

[Surreal]

Nas had the best verse on the album

 

[ℒℴѵℯJay ELECTUA]

gravel pit is trash!
embarrassing.

 

[Pazzy]

Should have been the second group album. forever was funny how people are seeing the dopeness of this album now when folks was saying iron flag was better. That album wasn't good.

 

[Pazzy]

Listened to it a few days ago and while it is clearly much better than all later Clan albums (especially last 2 ones) it lacks something. I can't put words into what it is because I don't know what that is.

Very listenable and with some great tracks here and there.


Edit:
Careful (Click Click) is a fukking dope posse cut.

Nas fukkin bodied it on Let My nikkas Livw

 

[Alvin]

Didn't like it, felt like they were out of sync, beats were ass to me, not feeling that minimalist sound RZA was using, just not what I was expecting. Felt like they all phoned in their verses and went off to do other things, didn't feel like everyone was in the studio like the other previous releases

You should here my version tho...Sonically its perfect. I took the Fingerjab intro and added to "In The Hood" without the Rza intro. I took the opening of "One Blood" and stopped it right before the beat switches and ques in Dashing without that into where they are talking....The way the dsahing beats slaps coming in after the One Blood intro

I put that CD together in 2004 and its still in a case in my collection labled "The W"

can you upload?
