[Album Stream] WU-TANG CLAN "A BETTER TOMORROW"

[claaa7]

^ hmm, i didn't get that vibe at all... i'm very much a beat head though, so while i do pay attention to the lyrics they usually takes a few spins to really sink in. but on first listen i thought they sounded very much together so to speak whereas "8 Diagrams" (which i love, especially from a production stand point) feels the opposite in many ways.

tracks like "Miracle" and "Mistaken Identity" i think all the emcees sound very much on the same page. will listen through it again front-to-back later tonight, but i'm not dissapointed

Album bangs .....best since Wu Forever. Love how it's just Rae and rza on crushed egos lmao. You can tell who was down for this album from day one.....masta killa destroys ever track....so does U-God, Meth, and Cappa.....wish there was some more Rae but all his verses are flames....a bit disappointed with INS and Ghost. Preachers Daughter was ill! Really liked this first listen through. Definitely copping

[soob]

Where did RZA used the sample that can be heard on "Mistaken Identity". I could've sworn I've heard it before

[Origin™]

much much better than I was expecting.

album is dope front to back, shit sounds great

ain't felt the need to skip a single track, on 3rd listen now..

well done WuTang you finaly pulled it off!

Now for the Ghostface album and this winters music will be great!

[SilentKiller_Bee]

I'm shocked from how dope is "Pioneer The Frontier".. a fuckin banger!!!
I'm loving Miracle, Mistaken Identity (is Streetlife on the hook there?), Necklace and ABT!

Solid album overall, well done!!

[Origin™]

I'm shocked from how dope is "Pioneer The Frontier".. a fuckin banger!!!

song is dope, but that beat has way to much shit going on

[Jadda]

I'm at the 40th Street Black track, and I gotta to say I'm feeling the beat. Don't like the "We Will Fight" chorus, but I dig the rest. If you shit on this track I must be up for a treat for the rest...

You are. I don't like that track myself and I'm thrilled with the album overall. Of course, that's with different expectations than I had for Wu Albums in the 90's. This is really fucking dope though!

Where did RZA used the sample that can be heard on "Mistaken Identity". I could've sworn I've heard it before

The beginning sample almost sounds like a similar sample to Clipse's Nightmares on Hell Hath No Fury and Meth does reference Pusha T in the song......but just the sample in the beginning sounds like it....idk about the rest of the song

[corky831]

Felt, Mistaken Identity, Hold the Heater, Crushed Egos, Miracle, Preachers Daughter, Pioneer the Frontier, Necklace, A Better Tomorrow, Never Let Go....all bang hard....and the other joints are cool....definitely at least a 4 out of 5 star album.....maybe even a 4.5 Time will tell

I should admit Bobby worked hard and gave his best. A good album and better than what I expected.

[dret.izm]

thanks for the link claaa.

bangers have been accumulated for future playlists from the first listen.

ruckus in b minor - dope song.. gza's verse stands out to me. possibly because of the beat switch but if i was to spark a blunt to this it would be during gza's verse and it would be a large intergalactic blunt

felt - might wear a polo sport hat real low. might give shifty looks to humans - this is a good thing

40th street - i like this song?? dope verses over a fast beat which is sort of rare from wu these days. fuck it, its 2014 i like it alot tbh

mistaken identity - this is my shit. weed will be smoked

crushed egos was definitely produced by adrian younge. sounds like he used the same sample (or simillar) from 'revenge is sweet' off 12 reasons to die. banger tho!

MIRACLE - arrives in bulletproof limo

preachers daughter - this is real cool and weed will be smoked

pioneer the frontier - some classic shit! WEED WILL BE SMOKED

weed will continue to be smoked throughout necklace

never let go is cool i like it

[Jadda]

It's Tekitha on the track Preacher's Daughter, right? The background vocals.

[UNCLE RUCKUS]

pioneer the frontier and necklace are dope

[Sparrow Daene]

wow. when "mistaken identity" finished, i stood up and clapped.
