Bless… And I get that. But not in my hands unfortunately. And this roll out Pleasr did has definitely shown something I suspected about the economics for albums like these, by artists like these.
Good Review although I believe you're overhyping this a bit. I know how some of you get on here when you hear Wu on a "Wu-Element" beat it's automatically a 10/10. These guys haven't made anything great since early 2010's. Wish I could've been there. I guess I'll have to wait another 20 years lol
honestly bro, this was vintage 2007-10s wu for real and id say beaides cl2 itbwas a step ahead of everything else.
i def wouldnt say they hadnt made anything good since 2010 tho. Thats underhyping as much as im overhyping imo. I def have enjoyed recent wu here and there tho the percentages are down substantially from the beginning. The sampler with that deck verse > anything from czarface and that rae verse > anything since cuban 2. mag butchers will def go down as a modern wu classic. This album is def of a diff class than say remedy vs wu or even the math album.
mind you i did not like I all that much tho i loved 99% of cilvas wu produced songs. So i wouodnt say I had pure stan goggles on. The songs had significantly more energy than mostly everything since mid 2000s imo.
the production alone was more wu than an album has come off since cl2. The lyrics were incredible as well. The energy is what makes it special. That cilva got down. To a science. Great job
im not saying its 36 chambers but for 50+ yr olds, its exactly what I would want from them. And while other albums did a decent job of capturing that sound (chambermusic, legendary weapons, math, rem vs wu) this feels almost like an actual old school wu album sonic wise. Like the w era rza.
even from the sampler. That deck track woulda fit on 8diagrams like a glove.

Well PleasrDAO seems to be hinting that the countdown isn't just going to be lowered by buying the album ala crypto.

I really do hope that they truly aren't just teasing the folks. They genuinely don't seem like Martin-like wannabes.
