I’m really looking forward to this myself. Claudine has a really nice groove to it. If the whole album can keep the same vibe going then Mathematics might have another banger to add to his resume.

We've got a few. I'll do some calling. I'll probably buy more than one copy if I can.
Damn I glanced over Claudine being on this. Song sucks. Also when Ringz posted this I didn’t know M-80 was involved. So at this point I am hoping for 6 banging tracks. Peace
Yeah thats the standout for me aswell.Quote:

Hope that album didnt get scrapped or that it will be 2 3 tracks produced by rza and the rest by other producers. And before this forum jump to conclusions i wouldnt mind other producers but would love focused rza produced albums now.
We need those snippets.
Yeah Claudine was mad corny! Fuck these lame singers man..

I didn't pay much attention untill I saw outlets mentioning how she is Dutch and is signed to Roc Nation. She actually had a song with Ghost before:Quote:

What happened that caused a big surge in attendance here yesterday? We had 15,818 people on here at 7:16 p.m.
15.818 ??? you sure? what's the standard number usually?
Yeah, you can see it at the bottom of the forum page. It is usually waaaaaay less than that. It thought that perhaps some major Wu Tang related happened that caused that..
Yea i noticed that too
Math is dropping Mandingo as the next single March 7th. He played some of it on his Instagram. Sounds really dope.
Not sure how to embed instagram here, but Mandingo sounds a lot like this RZA(little input from Ringz too)produced track from the early 2000’s….

Mandingo sounds dope!
That is the sound. Hyped for the album

Claudine wasn't great unfortunately

Math giving us a little more of Mandingo. Decks verse and a little of Meth’s. Deck strikes again with yet another Tupperware/Ziplock line. lol
His parents must have given him mad home made lunches when he was a kid, ha ha
lol Right?!Quote:

Track sounds nice!
Someone on IG asked Math if it’s same sample as RZA/Ghost/B9 track. He responded definitely not the same. Peace
Yeah, I seen that. Maybe Math doesn’t know it by that name, or with those emcees on it. Cuz originally there wasn’t anyone on it, it was just a beat made for Ghost in the early 2000’s that they never used. Originally called ‘How Could You Be That Dumb!’. They performed it live on the Killa Beez tour back then, but it was never released on anything. Until Beretta released it somehow with that Cultcha Shock guy.Quote:

Interestingly the “Claudine” cover has been changed for streaming. Personally I liked the original one. Here’s the updated version:

Meth’s full verse from Mandingo. Uses a U-God line from Knuckleheadz….”knock you out the box like skelly” lol Meth sounds incredible on this beat. Looking forward to this album
Much worse and yeah it’s kind of odd actually that they have 5000 limited copies of this album and chose to use all AI generated bullshit that has nothing to do with the actual album, does not scream Wu, looks quite poor upon inspection and is approved by THE GUY who created the logo. Having himself in front of a Wu logo with different outfits / characterizations since they going for that with Mandingo single’s cover, would've been way better.Quote:

Full song is out, Method dissing Shkrelli and R Kelly, nice. Rae or INS my favorite verse. The movie parts are cool, but somehow they don’t work right later on, seems like they used AI to make up fake shit? Mandingo style lol
The singer is annoying AF to me and Cappa sounds like a stuffed blob, terrible lyrics as usual. Should’ve had Ghostface and or GZA. It’s honestly a weird freaking track. It starts off great with Rae and Cappa just shits all over it.
7/10 I’d say.
just heard it . some parts is nice and some is meh. id give it a 7/10 too. The singer i think is Blue Raspberry ( atleast sounds like to me ) i dont mind the singing part idk ive always liked that stuff in wu songs but only Blue Raspberry vocals.Quote:

A nice Wu banger for 2025.
Ayo this shit is fire yall so buggin. Lol
i only listened to like 10 sec of preview on ig and just played it in full
maths best joint in a very long time. The changeups and buildups are perfect. Blue rasp part is great. Ai whatever. Rae sounded a lil low if anything but that was a nice fun wu joint. Would have been best song on saga continues.
super strong imo for guys 30 years in. most upbeat and fun wu song that i like in a long while. Really like this one. A lot. Cappas part was fine imo. Not the the type of song to drop lyrics to. Its about as pop as wu gets.
The subtle builds in the beat are really nice. This has all the marks of a wu classic if it had dropped earlier. Im really feelin this one. Would have liked ugod on this.
in fact i never even really looked at the tracklist. Beside intro and outro which just shouodnt be there.
and the rza joint wiyh all them guys. Even tho wu was always known to put young rappers on. Im not mad at it. Willie the kid deserves it and i like benny and he made a name its kinda cool.
the rest of the tracklist looks greats. I cant wait for this now. Wu ep is good enough for me.
It could be up there as one of the better tracks on Saga Continues like Frozen and People Say, basically because there’s only 3-4 group tracks and they’re all solid.
“Not the type of song to drop lyrics to” seems like a very odd statement. At least there should be some word play or for it to sound good, especially when the rest is bringing that. Cappa just brings it down a lot with as the vocals are already bad due to him being old, overweight and unable to keep a steady flow, so the lyrics stand out even more.
Agree to disagree of course, but while this is a fun joint, I can think of a dozen better group tracks released since A Saga Continues over this.
Math got the formula right with this one! Straight Wu-banger
Yeah this is nice. Does it’s job as it piques my interest, and should build some interest / anticipation for the full project.
9/10 for Mandingo. Without going back to the 90s with shitty equipment this is Wu-Tang! Fucking FINALLY!
There’s a video, no appearance by any of the rappers and feels very AI generated.
After a few listens I have softened on the production, though I feel Mathematics got caught between a classic Wu song and more of a movie sampled based one that RZA also has trie. It feels very 8 Diagrams like. Still a bit disappointed in how Blue Raspberry’s talents were underutilized, but at this point this is a big W for Wu fans regardless of it all.
