If you consider 2 days "old"  ;D
Good that you opened a seperate thread for it. It deserves its own discussion thread. I am really liking it so far based on 2 listens end-to-end.
Highlights so far:
Kiss the Ring;
Have Mercy;
Black Mozart...
More to come soon.
Will end up around 7-9 out of 10 range.

What do others who have heard it think?

"Chef shine like Marble, rhyme remarkable."

Production is steller....the rehashed lyrics not so much.

Fav cuts so far pyrex vision(needed to be longer), cold outside (the dude on the hook is dope), surgical gloves(alchemist), have mercy (siegel was dope in this, brought memories of 'what ya life like'), we will rob you(the hook is ehh though shoulda given slick rick a verse instead of hook, gza took a dump on everyone on this though), mean streets.

Thank god no U-god sighting.

7.5/10

YES, the very same method man, in my opinion he has carried the WU banner successfully over the years, him and Ghostdinni have the most solo offerings (not counting Bobby ofcos) and on each one unlike Ghost he manages to reach out to newer fans and not blind sight them with "slangatore" that only a select few can understand and appreciate. in my opinion he has strived, on each record he has released to preserve the original sound of the Clan's man while injecting his own unique way of delivery and story telling...wasnt overly excited about "the day after" record but it was much more worth listening than Cappa's "yin & yang" or Ghost's "fishscale"...or U-God's "dopium"

First listen.

It's nice. Can't fault it at all. The only problem is that OB4CL1 was a cla**ic. OB4CL2 has a lot to live up to, but it almost sounds like a selection of tracks that didn't quite make the original.

Don't get me wrong, it's still a dope album. Fave tracks: 10 Bricks, House of Flying Daggers, Black Mozart, Catalina and Mean Streets.

It will probably grow on me. Was just expecting something more groundbreaking.

After a good few listens now, I'm loving OB4CL2. I don't really care that it's not musically innovative, it's just a dope cla**ic. I think Jada says, "f*** saving hip hop, we're bringing the streets back" and that just about sums it up for me. The first decent Wu-Tang release in a long time.

Definitely a summer cla**ic for bumpin' in the ride with the top down.

"But on the other side of town, it's Tony, laid up,
This white chick wanna gargle my nuts,
I put the Baileys down, tapped the blunt out,
Grabbed her by the hair, watched blondie love whip my dick out,
Spit drippin down my balls, she slobber me.
That's right, suck that dick, get it hard for me."

Listening to Ghost when he is in "misoggynist mode" is like watching an ultra violent Rated R indie French flick (Le Doberman?). Its nothing I condone but is such vivid outlandish fantasy you can't stop watching/ listening in shock. Am I a bad man for being entertained by this?

Wildflower:
"But f*** it, I f***ed you on a chair with three legs
Broken tables, had you screamin while you was bitin on my cables
Whistlin to the washing machine, I threw it on spin
If your pussy dry, spit on my dick and put it in
My dick's the bomb baby, marvelous hot steak
Plus I'm conceited Starks make the biggest so-called rape"

I don't think Ghost is a misogynist, he just doesn't like 'bum a** bitches', 'whores' and girls who like fisting and taking 'bones like rib-eye steaks'. 

Politically incorrect maybe.

Politically incorrect maybe.
Cursing out and sexually abusing women is not misogyny?
Yeah Ghost is not getting invited to speak at any feminist rallies ;D

For real though this Rae album is like a complete cinematic experience. Vivid tales of criminal capers with violence, sex, nudilty, drugs, macho bragadocio chest bumping and comradery all served over a seamlessly fitting soundtrack.
Perfect recipie for the sequel to a cla**ic.
Compliments to the Chef.

That's what Necro said when asked about the pron chicks he slaps around that get fisted in his vids.

I feel the same way. If you allow me to do these things, I will keep you around, but don't expect me to respect you.

I still haven't listened to the album. Maybe I should put it on now. Now I really wish I bought those headphones.

That's it! Got to pick this record up! I thought this album would never come (at least while I'm still interested in hiphop). Do our shops already have it in stock?

I don't know why you acting up cos if I had protested the mysogyny you woulda been ready to bend me over your knee an brand my a** a feminist...  what these #%$ want from a 'nuh? I'll just cla** this as one of those male things...that alphamale shit...cats always hate it when a woman voices interest in another dude... I love ghost as a musician (in fact for me its a toss-up between he and Slick Rick for best storyteller of all time)- he has this ability to put you in the narrative as if you're there watching the shit go down, and I happen to find that extremely sexy *swoons PRETTY TONEY uuuuhnnn!!!* ... just deal dude.

OB4CL2 has been on constant rotation. This album, much more so than anything Nas or Jay Z has been able to cook up, has brought real street hip hop back to the limelight. Let's hope this sparks a resurgence.

So 2months later is anyone still listenin to and enjoying this? How is it aging?

Msani claims its average after nostalgia wears off. I argue its not that, more the current generation of music listeners is gluttonous and wasteful with ADD to boot.

Thoughts?

this is just human development. is there really a point in railing against it? whole genres are being created and rendered irrelevant in a matter of months.

Yes. Gluttony and waste are bad. The artists deserve more than 1.5 listens on crappy laptop tweeters. Bad enough we're not paying for the musi anymore.
I have started rationing the amount of music I DL to 2 albums a week. Fugg a gluttonous hoarder.

P.S. OB4CLII still bangs hard 2months later. Kiss the ring!

You are in perpetual nostalgia ...soldier, carry on.

Though i would agree with you about hoarding of music...or people churning it out more than ears can afford to listening to.

The Source(Im talking bout the old one) would get an album  and review it before anyone, the source give it a 5 mic cla**ic  the next issue you will see letters from readers disputing the reviews but at the end The Source's decision will be the one that count...I dont think some of those albums that made the cut then would have  if we had internet then

i don't understand people who hoard music. it's seems childish to me. like, you waste bandwidth/money accumulating music you don't listen to.

but there's no point in railing against the rate at which music is consumed. everyone is swamped. everyone has access. you just have to seek out your own circuits and stick to them. those artists that you like etc.

personally, i don't even f*** with the UGHH2009 thread like that. i download music from artists that i like and can't buy as well as to just hear something i've heard about. most of the shit i don't go back to, though. even with CD's.

it's just how it is, bredren.

i liked Cuban Linx 2 a lot at the time, but i don't bump it anymore. i just don't feel that driven towards it, really.

like, i'll bump that Zuluboy album that came out a few months back more than OB4CL2. it just had more of an impact on my day to day.

Wow.

I saw the Nu Wu video yesterday. Had to store that *ish on my hard drive. Some madd nice Wu vibes going on. "He's a f***ing cop!"

Raekwon brought it back. I had my doubts, but as destiny would have it, I was wrong. I'm actually gonna cop this at the end of the month, haha. Who woulda thought.
