Wu-Tang Unites For New Album.

[briCK]

*YAWN*

The Wu need to throw in the towel, I have waited for the cure for as long as I will wait, Apart from Ghost, I want nothing to do with the Wu!

You've got to be kidding.
Rae still bringing mad heat.B4Cl II is a killer album. Meth killed Blackout 2 alongside Redman.

Opinions...

i think the weakest link in Wu is Goldens Arms second is Rae....

I get lots of heat from most cats but I feel the OBFCL was saved my a steller performance by Ghost.

Damn. This is Blasphemy right there. And I respect your hip hop opinions as a cat from the same era.
There are opinions + taste but some things are universally accepted. Like someone can say Nas is dope but he's not my cup of tea or kind of hip hop. But i agree with you on Golden Arms being the weakest link.

This is the fight that my boys / peers and I always had ...

I for one, did not / do not like Nas AT all, and I refuse to get myself confined in the "Universal Accepted Norm" ..I belive its about Accessibility, I never had access to Nas when he came out with Illmatic...I was too busy with dope shit like Das Efx, EPMD, Tribe etc etc...I got to hear illmatic after It Was written...an I felt Iwas Written more coz it was relevant to the 'era' it came out, and my refusal to back peddle to illmatic was the cause of me and some Boys of mine whom while I was bumping the Enter The 36....bleh..I don't think I wanna continue this..

i think i understand what youre saying. seems like a limiting way of listening, though. and in any case how much bearing can timeliness and relevance to an era have to a cat in Africa listening to music from Nuevo York? . . .or maybe im just defending Illmatic being one of my favourites. theres no way i could have heard it when it dropped in 94. i wasnt even a tween, then!

What do toff-o-lux taste like?

lol. so you never go back to albums if you missed them the first time?

Not All...

Coz sometimes the essence of the Album is relevant to that Era point in time...I can go back and bump it and like it, but I won't feel it like it was when it was relevant.

I back Peddled to illmatic and a shit load of others...Ilmatic is timeless...but some shit if you go back to it makes no SENSE...

Tell me a Kid introduced to the Wu with in that last five years..if he / or she...(we got she-heads now) ...anyway...If that kid had to Bump Tical, Liquid Swords, Niggamotis etc etc do you honestly think they will feel what YOU felt or what people at the time felt? Nope..

its a movement, cut your losses some of what you missed, you will miss again if you spend your time living in peddle back mode....or something to that effect...Its still early so am not as articulate...maybe i'll re-animate my thoughts later...

[DarkBlood]

Funny, Ghost is probably the Wu-Tanger I like least. His voice grates, and I really hate his solo projects. Top of the list for me is Meth, Rae, GZA.

Ghost just cracks me up. I think he's vrek funny. He always sounds frantic.

i got you. i also like the idea of hip hop as an organic, shifting movement. its just a pity that a lot of fresh new music is by older artists from previous eras. kind of makes it hard not to backpeddle, at least in the catalogues of those artists. but yeah, something is missed since the tone of that music doesnt really find an echo in where hip hop is right now, culturally.

Youz a hip hop snob ma-P HIP HOP SNOB!

[Killa Merc]

I get you briCK. It is also hard for me to feel hop from the RUN DMC era. I simply missed out on stuff from the late 80s and early 90s. The beats were different. But having said that, I could hear a good MC from that era if I listened to one. But I get you. Play some stuff from the 90s to these New Age kids, they like yeah Tribe Called Quest (or whatever) is aight nd move on (if they are into the Lupes and Kanyes of this world. They wont feel it like you did.
