Roar of the Lion is weak compared to The Lion's Pit. Way to fuck it up.

Got to disagree.
Had this album on constant rotation for the last few days now and I have to say, I like it. Re-used material aside, it flows well and I like Math’s production. Consistent sound throughout.
Prefer this to Saga Continues. Would have preferred more Wu / fam features instead of the random guests, but hey.
That Amazon link for Cd says it’s not available now. Anyone have a legit site selling the cd yet? Thanks and peace
Totally agree, the reused verses are frustrating and insults the intelligence of us die hard fans, but casual fans will never know! Overall the flow of the album is quality, if he didn’t release the singles and they were tracks on the album and he released other singles I reckon we would be saying it’s class!
Imagine we hadn’t heard Claudine, Mandingo, two Cooley & The Lions Pit already, shit would bang hard!
Also don’t mind the remix of rap burglars, think it’s sick but wish they named it that rather that trying to get one over
I think the Masta killa verse on cleopatra is the stand out 💪🏻
Don’t mind the gza reused, not massively noticeable and I doubt anyone has ever heard U-god wild style, to know it was re-used
Rza re used verse is lazy as that I an actual WTC album
WHAT THE HELL WAS THE KURUPT INTRO THOUGH that really pissed me off shouting out snoop Dogg and the Dogg pound in a wu album more than the actual clan members, surely it wouldn’t of been hard getting Cappa and mathematics to talk some nonsense
Anyway for me not as bad as I expected so I’m happy
Dolemite fading out during Masta’s verse is just the straw that broke the camel’s back for me. F this album. I think Saga Continues is dozen times better than this.
All this false hope, I just want OUATIS - which is the last we’ll ever get of that Wu tang music we’ve been clawing to get since Forever. Don’t get me wrong there have been few and far between songs since then that would fill that void.
Let’s look at newer Wu stuff… Rza’s latest attempt at a Wu Album (ABT). Rza’s latest attempt at a Bobby digital revival. Rza used to set the precedent for what a hip hop banger was. All his new hip hop production sounds like something Russel Crowe turned down during the last movie they did together. this new Math album that’s 1/3 recycled and not anywhere close to his production potential. ’Set the Tone’ was gone after everybody’s first listen. GZA not releasing music is for the better. Dark Matter, I don’t need GZA talking about element 115 and quantum mechanics if it sounds like he’s talking in his sleep. Raekwon’s now whisperingbedtime story flow will only hold up if the rhymes are there. Cap needs to drop this ‘lower your standard, up your average’ mentality.
MK, Meth & Deck have been the only ones still putting out IMPRESSIVE music.
The funniest part of Executioners of Shaolin and ironic is the longer Cappa raps, the worse is gets, like he’s saying a speech as he walks the plank and by the end of it they just shoot him because he’s so full of shit.
So, seeing how Math’s album played out in real time, with the announcement, the singles/artwork, the “hype”, and then the actual release….
What is it about Once Upon that makes you think it wouldn’t be more “false hope” if a release date (within this decade, for argument sake. lol) was announced?
Is it the snippets/leaks? The reviews/reactions to the listening parties? The mystery/unknown of the album?…. your trust in Ringz? lol Just curious
I had actually thought about this too. Why not use the original version but that must be a Rza beat and not a Math beat. i dont mind the album version though.
i made a remake and didnt spend alot of time on it . did it while i was at work sorta multitasking. check it out you might dig it.

Ima check this out ty thanks
i talked to hiphopjunky i dont have a good version of tbis. Think he was gon donit but if not. We need to getvthat on here in some way.
who has serius? Mine ran out. We need to get a high quality rip of it instead of my quick low bit rate wma version.
I mean ill do it
but if someone can get a high quality rip so i dont gotta do it twice, wouod be appreciated if anyone got seriusxm and can get a wav/mp3 320 rip. The account i got no longer work.
Shout out to rzatrax and ForensikZ for tryin to speak this thing into existence. lol
Album version isn’t terrible or anything, but demo version had that “bigger” feel. More epic. Probably a RZA production, don’t know tho.
