so I listened again and it sits much better with me these days apparently
idk how but this beat seemed louder and more obnoxious in the context of the album before. makes total sense now on repeated single track listen lol
it was never Busta with me, just the beat (changes). I'm okay with it now
Yeah. W is definitely a slow burn album.. I initially loathed it, but now listen to it regularly. Took me about a decade after the original release to make it to that point.
The W was dope, Iron Flag had some wack tracks, 8 Diagrams is a leftfield classic if you ask me, although I know it divided opinion.
I mean realistically you can't reasonably expect a producer to bat 1000 forever, or satisfy 9 group members. Which is why the Clan is probably still better as a dictatorship than a democracy where members are picking stuff that they like or voting. At least with one member in charge, RZA or Ghostface, there's a clear vision.
RZA fucked up with ABT though. He can easily have a comeback if he digs out those old beats we've heard about.
I can understand Busta being a feat in the album, but Snoop? Any other rapper from the east coast would ve been better.

Snoop was a star back then and he was already a legend in the hip-hop community. A lot of fans probably wanted Wu to feature with some West coast MCs and Snoop was probably the best commercial choice. I know the track featuring him wasn't a single but it was still a good track. It is also possible that they met and just recorded the track and RZA didn't want it to be left unheard.

Rza very much inspired some of the great producers all time in his “fall off period”
the run of
ghostdog
supreme clientele
the w
bulletproof wallets
iron flag
inspired the likes of just blaze, kanye, madlib, dilla, alchemist, etc.
8 diagrams has a classic inside of it but thetes some odd fuckin choices there imo but it is atleast new in some way.
a better tomorrow is lazily written and the beats arent good enough equally.
The W is a grown up album I always felt. If that makes any sense. It’s solid so I put it right after 8D though in my Wu album rankings. Coulda used a few more tracks since we had 4 guest verses. Peace
