Album is mad dope. Lyrics might be a lot more simplistic than what we’ve heard in the past, but shit is still on some real shit and I appreciate that above anything when it comes to the current state of hip hop. Deck sounds great! He sounds energetic, hungry and street wise like a young man wise beyond his years. Beats are ill too. Looks like they found a hidden gem right there..
This album is dope, I really dont get the hate.
i absolutely also believe thats why PAC had his verse cut, he didn't wanna get outshined on that joint because Deck's verse was clearly superior to every other verse on there.Quote:

I heard this the other day n tbh I've actually had no desire to go back to it. It was OK n everything, but I can't force myself to wanna hear it again. I might try again today.
It makes me kinda sad listening to deck. He's got the most generic style of all clan members, n has done so for about 15 years now. When u think back to the forever period n how he stood out back then, it's a pity he became such a dime a dozen rapper.
But it sounded pretty decent for a deck album. There were some good beats n stuff.
So far na na na is my favourite joint too. Haven't had time to listen to the second part of the album though.
"Shaolin Rebel" sounds like a Czarface type of beat.
The problem with this album is that it lacks replay value. Nothing really stands out. It's not whack, just very average especially considering what Deck is capable of. At least with the Czarface albums the beats are more interesting and Deck sounds more dynamic on the mic.
Forty Glock u nailed it. 100 percent agreed. Deck shoulda used the beats from the Hus Kingpin album. He made a retro sounding Wu album that was still fresh. Hahahhaha. Peace
After listening to CD for a week would rate it as one of Decks best solo albums. There's only one song I skip and would have liked more Wu features... Other than that its a banger (imo). Cant wait for "Cant Stay Away" vid! SUUUUUUUUU
Agreed. I'm liking this album too.Quote:

I cannot fathom how Deck manages to get Meth/GZA/Ghost etc.. for the Czarface projects - yet there is not one feature from the main 9 on his newest solo!
Do you guys think it may be an issue of budget? I can't think of any other reason than may be he didn't have the budget to afford main Wu features. Although it would be surprising if the other generals are charging their 'premium' rate to their fellow Fifth Brother - even in these cynical and self-centered times.
Deck is always turning up for his Wu brothers' projects (he was in Ghost's latest video... and will probably be on the album too); doesn't make sense.
I would like to know his explanation on that. It could be just bad timing or scheduling.Quote:

For People in this forum.
Only a few will understand.
Deck is so underground. Real Rap.
Sounds like kung fu with word Gymnastik always when i hear his mastered on point flows.
It's a sub par effor by Deck. He could've done better.Quote:

Deck is on fire. Every time.
The def will always be def and the blind will always be blind.
A Collector will always be a Collector 😂
This is an emotional ode to the genre from Deck. Heartfelt wordplay and a banging beat.
Great visuals on this video too.
I love the collage style - taking it back to the patchwork creative aesthetic that underpins all elements of Hip Hop culture.
I like this one, the beat has a real DJ Premier vibe to it.
That "Can't Stay Away" video is nice nostalgia trip.
the album had to grow on me first listen I wasn't too impressed , but I agree production wise this is a good album
lyrically I think Deck can do better
Nonetheless I had this album in repeat mode, set to buy this one
I have yet to listen to this album. Shame on me.
You're not missing out on much. Overall an average effort by Deck. He's definitely capable of better. Imo he sounded better on the Czarface albums.Quote:
