yeah, I don't know what his priorities are, but he spent six years making Shaolin. I don't know if he's burned out or what, but I'd keep the momentum going. and what's with giving away banging beats like Allah uh Akbar to a select few people who paid 50-100 bucks when you could've given that beat to a dope MC (priest, shabazz--and if he wasn't going to jail, Killa Sin)? I haven't heard the Mental Chamberz you gave away with the Wuki package, but that seems like a waste to me. those beats could've been properly usedQuote:

also from the early beat preview (with the ill KP verse) to the cut with ghost on the forbes interview the shit sounds exactly like what i want to hear from a wu album. i don't understand the people who think this album is gonna be mediocre, i'm hype for it, and while i'm not excited to wait longer to hear it (fuck the museum thing i'll just wait for it to be released , which it will one way or another) i can't imagine anything that could have given the legacy of the wu a bigger boost at a time when the group themselves are mostly watering it down.
good look cilva, i appreciate the work you did, peace

Maybe he has some other dope shit already to be released right after this Shaolin album. And he's confident enough that we'll all like that. Since he has the secret key to all these unreleased songs like in the Wuki pack, I wish he could also release all of the lost Holocaust recordings from late 90's. I'd be happy with that.
Are people still crying about this? smh get fuckin over it, i wasnt over the moon when i heard either but its something different, we will get to hear at some stage in the future and its not like Cilva is never gonna release shit again. Its out of our hands so why get pissy? Yeah i know tecnically he lied with the other thread but fuck it.
And another thing, with all the success and publicity this is getting the Wu members, Cilva and other affiliates might look at this as another oppurtunity to release more albums based on the hype of this, seeing as how the Wu are in the news again for the first time in YEARS.
People on here were commending Raekwon for that faggy song he done with that faggit Bieber coz Bieber was popular and it would get him some shine and paper. No it didnt, it failed, he got no new expsure off it, it came out as a patethic attempt to stay relevant by a 40 year old rapper trying to get fame from a 16 year old faggit whos fan base are 12 years old. This IS actually getting them notice but people here are still bitching. Get over it.

I am 30 years old now, and started listening to Wu when I was in the 5th or 6th grade in 1993.
I grew up listening to Liquid Swords and OB4CL primarily and bought every CD from 1993 until about 2001, including spinoffs like Wu-Syndicate.
For me, my opinion? I want this album. Desperately, Cilvaringz "1" record came out when I wasn't really keeping an eye on Wu-Shit, and I recently bought the CD on Amazon. The Album is fucking amazing and your production is on point with the Wu sound the fans love and look for! "1" was a little busy on the sound effects and shit but that's fine. I love the album and have been keeping it on rotation for 3 weeks now.
Tarik/Cilva - all I have to say to you.. is, congratulations. You are living the dream that I always wanted growing up - Posting on The DSC, trading MP3's of Wu-Gems with my homies across the world on mIRC (Maybe even yourself). I even ran a Wu-Tang breakbeat site that I created when i was 12 years old http://wu-tang.9876.net - check on waybackmachine.org - I taught myself Cool Edit '96 to chop up tracks to loop the beats I loved, so I could use them as full instrumentals to fuck around with. Daytona 500 was the first breakbeat I made. ha - Maybe I could've gotten in touch with the Wu as you did if I stuck to it. But my life, growing up in Canada and family related issues took me away from that dream. So it is now, that I choose to live vicariously through you.
I'm proud of you bro, and respect what you're doing. I just hope that one day I can fucking listen to it.
PEACE!
Peace Jordon,
Definitely appreciate that!
