GZA: Dark Matter Thread

[FeLo]

Any news on this one? Except that it's not dropping tomorrow...

release date: TBA

[JZA/Jordon]

Wasn't there recently a show w/ Babygrande peeps celebrating GZA's Dark Matter?!

Dark Matter producer Vangelis, famed Greek electronic composer has died, aged 79

I have no idea why I was dissing GZA so much in this thread, but that shows just how long ago this album was announced. I would actually like to hear this album.

I dont think this album will surface. Same goes with ghost and doom and the new ghostface with kanye overseeing the project.

“I’ve been writing and constructing stuff,” he says. “This is the longest I’ve ever taken to complete and do an album. There’s been times that I’ve taken breaks before, sometimes a year, sometimes two. But musically, I really wasn’t satisfied and hopefully I am when I do decide to put it out.”

^Good news that he's still planning to put it out one day. I'm all for him waiting until he's ready. Just fucking hate it when cunts keep on talking about some shit they take forever to actually put out. Gza doesn't seem to be doing that.

Lol, this is still a thing? Guess we've waited this long for this shit, another 10 wont matter

This album is long overdue and he knows that. I'm at the point where I don't care. Taking a two year+ break is a bit extreme, but then again, GZA has nothing to prove.

So he's still working on it. Well, I still don't think it's ever gonna drop.

They're not motivating him enough.

[Sky Blue Bally Kid]

GZA was working with Vangelis (Greek composer & Producer) on the album as of 2015. They passed away last year so maybe that delayed it but I don't know to what extent they were involved in the album's production.

[noel411]

I don't think Gza has ever put out music just for the sake of it, or because it's his job. Maybe to some degree with Pro Tools. If he's saying he's still gonna drop it then I imagine he still actually has the desire to do so, and will when he's motivated to finish it.

I get really fucking sick of people talking about shit that will probably never come out, real quick, and hyping shit. I lost interest in CL2 years before it came out. I've never felt like that about this album tho. He's been quiet about it. At least from what I've seen. If you're anticipating this shit like it's gonna happen soon, that's your own problem. I haven't seen or heard anything that's given me reason to.

[ShaDynasty]

I imagine part of the delay is wanting to get the science right. It has to be both scientifically accurate and artistically good songs. Which doesn't sound easy.

[Whips-n-Chains]

This shit never dropping…a pre-order from 7 years ago? Smfh
