Above the fray.
the album doesnt contain any filler just songs you dont like

and its a classic hands down and IS one of the greatest

ima go w disc 1
In the words of the GZA...album should have been "half long and twice and strong"

I bought it when it came out....my cousin asked me to dub it for him. I used to buy and make dubs for people. I told him with this one....would have to edit out the wack songs and make edited "best of" version. Never got around to it.
There used to be a feature on cd players were random songs on discs would play...and trust me, there are wack songs on both discs

up until Forever, wu had barely released bad songs on any project (except for Tical......which was mostly trash)

What are the wack songs in your opinion? And Tical being mostly trash is laughable.

cool story, sounds like you owe ya cousin a tape.

tical and forever are both classics and contain 0 wack songs.

obviously you disagree; list some songs instead of anecdotes



Let me list the songs that sounded like what I expected to hear on the 2nd WuTang group album


triumph
mgm
dog shyt
projects
impossible
for heaven's sake
as high as wutang get
bells of war

One of the reasons the early wu projects were great was the sequencing of the albums. they were structured like albums .

the double disc shyt, was a great business move by wu, but sounded like compilations of songs instead of two albums or one long album.
and on the songs that I considered lacking, something was off.....wrong dudes spitting, wrong person rapping last...something

dirty,gza,rae, ghost had great albums between the first wu album and the second one.......so the bar was super high for forever.....I feel it fell short of expectations

There are, of course, standout songs on Wu Forever but I won't go as far as calling the other songs wack. Even Black Shampoo isn't wack to me. It has one of the dopest sounding beats on the whole album imo.

And I disagree, I think the album was just what it should have been. I was a bit disappointed at first because the album's sound strayed far from the sound of 36 Chambers but it finally hit me what RZA was doing and it quickly became one of my favorite albums of all time. Definite classic album.

they should have cut out the filler and released one album. It would have been possibly the greatest rap album ever.
besides black shampoo, what songs are filler to you?

don't mind the rhyme either lol
