I want to ask all the long time wu heads on the board . Do you all feel that Mathematics reinvented the Wu-Tang sound with this release ?

It’s crazy. Math is around these guys on the daily, touring with them, building with them. And he couldn’t even get GZA to break him off 8 NEW fuckin bars?! He had to reuse his Rush/Eve Of War verse?! Just leave him off the album then. lol Or have Streetlife(who is uncharacteristically absent from this project) fill that verse spot or something.Quote:

Wtf !!! Look what this person wrote in that article / link i posted.
“ Mathematics, aka Ronald Maurice Bean, is the group’s musical muse and graphic artist. Not only has he produced many of Wu-Tang’s greatest hits like “Protect Ya Neck,” “C.R.E.A.M,” and “Bring Da Ruckus,” but he also designed the Wu-Tang Clan logo.”
Something we don’t know here ?!! Wtf is up with the world !!!
Listened to it last night. some i dig and alot i dont. i simply deleted the tracks that i feel are not for me. This project is 39 minutes long with recycled bars and somehow its considered an album. feels like a EP with alot of out side features . Kool G Rap gets my approval but the others i dont give a shit about . The intro dont need to be there like that .
so glad i can always go back to "The Swarm" and Ghostdog Soundtrack
I feel this project is whack . This black samson atleast for me will be very soon forgotten.

Damn Rzatrax, u don’t mess with RJ or Willie the Kid? 2 of the best out right now in my opinion. Peace
Just listened - not bad, maybe even a bit more listenable than The Saga Continues. But it's too short, the relabeled songs/reused verses are BS, and there is no way its worth 80 US for the vinyl
yea im just not feeling the track. not saying its musically bad or anything but the vibe and subject matter not for me. Damn ForensikZ you cut alot too. PeaceQuote:

I also remember that the wu was not fucking with too many outside artists with the exception of crews like mobb deep , indviduals like nas , and redman. i wasnt feeling snoop dog and busta rhymes being on The W . i saw that as terrible !
These type of Mathematics releases are not meant for me for what i want , need and expect from something that is being touted as a new wutang clan release . im from the old school and rather dig up older stuff pre 2000 to listen to , anyway i much prefer the vibes and sounds of the boom bap era. I will just keep making my own compilations and blend projects to keep my appetite in check. I am looking forward to Method Man next project though . He been on fire and sounding fresh for awhile now. Peace
I agree with this. Ignoring the fact it includes recycled stuff, it's a good listen.Quote:

With those adjusted expectations, I can enjoy this project for what it is. Sometimes it's better not to know how the sausage is made.
there's a 2cd version on amazon (Limited Edition, Deluxe Edition) .. what's on that second cd ?

I didn't realize m-eighty was involved...that explains some of the features, etc.Quote:
