Wu-tang out in Australia touring and making new music in studio.

[Soundwave]

Despite RZA continuing to roam from that dark Wu-tang sound most Wu fans want, alot of the live instrumentation stuff on the album sounds really nice. Ruckus in the B Minor was an excellent reintroduction of the Clan as a whole. I agree there were some terribly cheesy parts (the hook on Preacher's daughter and the sh!t RZA did to 4th Disciple's EXCELLENT Miracle beat) but not enough to say it hurt the album badly. And all of the Clan came with quality verses, including Rae...after he made a whole big stink about the project.

I felt like the second half of the album was much stronger than the first half. Minus Preachers Daughter , Miracle on through Wu Tang Reunion were all to me. Yeah, some of the sample choices were obvious, yeah the live instrumentation is never gonna reach the Olympian heights that sampling can reach
Still, I enjoyed every last one of those songs.
As for the first half? Ruckus in B Minor was crazy, outside of the hook I really like Keep Watch and Crushed Egos was
Solid album
Nothing to write home about. Doesn't further cement or tarnish the Wu legacy

At the very least, we can agree that Preacher's Daughter was some bullshyt

Wu-Tang are the greatest rap group ever, but unfortunately they're super washed up. A Better Tomorrow was really terrible. RZA's fall-off

 

[FrankieLymon757]

please no live sounds if there is one more Clan album...samples sample samples...old dusty joints please...!

I liked A Better Tomorrow. Some really interesting music on there but like 8 Diagrams the thing felt disjointed and the chemistry between the members was non existent.

It's maybe best for RZA to take a back seat and just bang out 12 tracks over hard beats. Mathematics is aight....I think his shyt has been lacking a little the last few years. I wanna hear more 4th Disciple involvement. Miracle could've been the hardest Wu track in years if RZA hadn't added all that Disney on Ice bullshyt

Just want Rae and Ghost Verses

Nice to read about them actually being in the studio together in stead of phoning in they verses. We need the generals feeding off of each other while getting blunted in the booth.

On the new music, I hope they're cuts for solos rather than for another group album b/c I don't think they can get focused enough as a crew to do those anymore.

On ABT, RZA's insistence on live instrumentation replicating original works ended up with many of the beats sounding like weak covers rather than rap beats. If you're going to replay an original song almost exactly to where you're having to pay rights anyway, just sample and make something new out of it rather than trying to replicate something exactly. Just an outright bad album.

On 8 Diagrams, the production for the most part was on point (although maybe a little too much of a similar tone), but half the crew didn't sound like they wanted to be there, nearly all the hooks were god awful & the sequencing was terrible (including 2 songs back to back that were mc/hook/Meth/hook/MK over a beat switch).

On Mathematics, they're overseas to tour & he's the DJ, so that's mostly while he's there, but I'm sure he's got some beats in the mix too. He can be good w/ instrumentation on his beats but his drums have nearly always sucked.

RZA didn't help him the last couple decades though....

For the right price
Havoc can make his drums tighter

Anyway this is great news tbh, eager to see which direction they go in next.
