i can see ppl liking the album cause they generally like the ppl in wutang and support them cause they think they're kick ass guys, but to anyone without a personal love for the men in wutang, this album is ass.
i can't think of an album by a respectable hip hop group that is this bad.
the lyrics were mediocre to luke warm at best. nothing stands out, nothing impressive nothing inventive, just guys saying things that rhyme. Ghost and Meth on Gently Weeps are the only exceptions.
the beats were some of the worst in the entire wu catalog, and totally lacked energy and life. Its a depressing and dead listen.
there's NO group cohesion, theres NO sound cohesion, there's NO verse cohesion, NO chemistry between the members, nothing. just a humble reminder that wutang is dead and uncool.
then, on top of all these criticisms, there's moments of the album that are flat out embarrassing.
-Sunlight: I dont care how socially retarded you are, if a girl walked by when this was on you would turn it down, then change the song casually as if you were planning on doing that. You would also never bump this in a car at high volume and if you do and come to a red light you would turn it down cause you're humiliated by whats happening.
-Tar pit: isn't that the one where george clinton is screaming for like 3 minutes? You wouldn't play this in a room full of blacks I dont give a fuck, you're only lying to yourself if you're telling me otherwise. this shit's embarrassing.
-Unpredictable: WITTY wutang is unpredictable?! LMAO at Rza trying to sound hard saying WITTY WUTANG IS UNPREDICTABLE. This is the same guy that was screaming WUTANG CLAN AINT NOTHING TO FUCK WIT and BRING THE MOTHA FUCKIN RUCKUS. Witty Wutang? Somebody will play some hard body jada, then ask you what you got, and you'll play is butthole of a song? ahahahahaha
-Stick me for my riches: LMAO at Gza embarrassing the fuck out of himself singing right after his verse! LMAO!! God what a fucking loser. did you hear how fucking unsure of himself and old he sounded SINGING that shit!? "I guess more money equals more problems", again, something you'd turn down if women walked by.
-Watch your mouth: Sure this piece of shit didn't make the album, but with a beat that draws one as lifelessly and pointlessly as a 68yr old man's nut sac, but it's also the only song in the history of radio where the DJ had to ARTIFICIALLY SPEED UP THE PLAYBACK.
daamn. The DJ, funk flex, on the debut, speed that shit up himself, cause it was so fucking shitty. damn. for this alone it goes on the embarrassment hall of fame.
-that corny promote with all the 'elements': Rza couldn't be cool if he tried and made the rest of wutang look just as nerdy and embarrassing as himself with that corny kung fu gimmick promo.
-the fact that after 10 years this is all they got" damn.
-8 out of 9 people that MADE THE ALBUM saying it's trash: daaammmn.
