I feel like RZA could have put in more of an effort in producing beats or overseeing overall production (the way he would do on ghost's supreme clientele)

I would want RZA to focus on Deck, U God and Masta Killa after the 1st round of solos. If I remember well after Forever he said that he wanted to manage the careers of Meth, Ghost and ODB and let other dudes like Supreme manage careers of other mcs. He really didn't focus on GZA, Raekwon or U God in 1999.

Exactly. Sadly now the majority..like over 75 percent of wutang music is shitty due to post golden age refusal to invest in real estate. Ugods first album was ass but considering that it's been 12 years since we've heard a wutang member on a beat with more than 2 tracks, it's a phenomenal album

cult classic.

I bumped that album like crazy when it first came out.

I haven't listened to it in years though.

I need to revisit that LP ASAP...

same here, it kinda was in the stash because I was bumping allot of Dopium and Keynote Speaker recently and decided to throw this on last night and wow I was like damn forgot how much I loved this album when it dropped.

it's pretty good, far from a classic album... this is the type of album that disapointed Wu fans back when it dropped because it lacked the cohesiveness of the other members debuts.. it definitely has bangers on there though, "Turbulence", "Dat's Gangsta", "Rumble", "Turbo Charge", "Bizarre"... it lacks focus though and sometime U-God has a hard time following through on his song themes.

i rate it around 3/5, 3.5/5 which is not at all a bad rating

I usually keep a cpl joints off of it...and add "Full Rap Metal Jacket"

Slept on album. I like Ueys bars/flows on there..

Agreed.

Average at best. Id give it a 2 though. Had some good tracks like you mentioned but soome horrible beats and just flat out bad tracks.

Dopium and the other recent one were far better.
