i have to sit down and give this a full review one day but for me the highlights are the 2 4th Disciple classics..
Track 11 called Love....the beat just puts me into another zone..
and of course Element of Surprise..
4th Disciple's gotta be one of the most underrated, unknown yet incredible producers in hip hop history...
Had to shoot some of my babies with my phone. The Heist CD and LP, and the red vinyl in front of them is a limited edition Az The World Turnz 12" promo.
I also got the What Thugs Do 12" (b/w Wu Bloodkin).

You may spot the trim, got three sets of LP/CD on the wall. Line-up changing, right now Heist, GAR and Wu-Chronicles vol. 1. They doesn't impress anyone, but as I said they're my babies |)
i got that in my cd collection 2.Quote:

All of my mates who aren't really into Wu go deep about 4th Disciple...
I made a CD of most of his beats and my mate said he is clearly 1 of the best
Producers ever.
"Dangerous Minds" was probabally the 1st 4th beat I ever heard !!!!!!!!

Alo I gotta shout out "Shine" & "Gun Rule"
Great album...
Patiently waiting for another 1.........
superior album / my personal classic
best songs:
I Want It All
Polluted Wisdom
Az The World Turnz
Streetlife
Element Of Suprise
Love
Heist Of The Century
Its all about that Lucci
Lucci, Heist Of The Century be the best tracks
people seem to forget, when rating this album, that lyrically, it isnt over average.
truth be told, LA The Darkman is dope but he's just above average. He's as overrated as Reggie Bush is in the NFL.Quote:

LA is not the deepest emcee but he brings across great wordplay despite the subject matter.
anybody who say La The Darkman is average on the mic should listen to "Polluted Wisdom". sure he ain't too complex but his flow is there and he is sharp at telling vivid street-stories.
Fuckin masterpiece, classic!! Plenty classic jointz, production on level, & I really like LA'z lyricism!! Gotta vote for Classic!!!
P.E.A.C.E.
Element of Suprise just ok? Beat annoying???Quote:

polluted wisdom would easily feature on a greatest ever wu tang compilation.
there are few bad songs, and few mediocre songs, but also lot of classics.
City Lights, Heist Of the Century, Polluted Wisdom, 5th Diciple, Element of Surprise and I want It all are 5/5 tracks.
Classic
Hmmmm...
One of the great disappointments. That LA didn't follow this up with any more albums. High quality.
Classic album for sure.
This album is nothing more than a banger 7.5/10
woulda been better if song arrangment was in a different order(thats when rza shoulda stepped in)
i feel like he was a very similar mc to prodigy in the 90s.......which is a good thing bc prodigy was top 10 in the 90s
Such a great, grimey album. 4th Disciple and Six July killed it on here! It's a damn shame Darkman 2 has taken as long as it has to come out. Any updates on that album?
I still listen to this album on the regular; classic for sure. Replay value is ridiculous, especially while driving.
edit
edit
hes got a few mixtapes floating around with willie the kid
Damn good album, underrated by most.
By now it's a few new ones every month.Quote:

Classic album.
Its so good La never Dropped another album after this cos he know it won't be as good.
But he is my fav MC at the mo.
I think this came out the same day as Bobby Digital In Stereo and Tical 2000.
One of the best beats 6 July did is "I Want It All (Cents Mix)"
4th Disciple produced "Street Life"
Try WuFLAC for people who are looking for it.$
Dope album with the best producers
Best track:
Element of surprise
Love
Polluted wisdom
Figaro chain
Heist of century
4 souls
How lad become trash since 2000???
All he do is garbage now, commercial ...
Heist came out in October '98. Bob Digi and Tical 2000 came out in the same week in November '98.Quote:

"What, young thugs do, for mun-ayyy"
^ co-sign, around the time of release I really thought LA could blow up with that style of rap but he never really took it anywhere
No doubt. I remember that week, I bought all of those albums, and La's ended up being my favorite of the three.Quote:
