8,5/10 album for me and the best RZA solo (I rank Bobby Digital 8/10 and BOP - 7,5/10)

A lot of 10/10 tracks: Show U Love (superb opening), Glocko Pop (crazy Wu collabo), Must Be Bobby (classic beat & rhymes), Brrooklyn Babies (deep, marvellous song), Do U (another Wu banga), Throw Your Flag Up, Build Strong & Sickness. Some aiight tracks, like Break Bread, Be A Man or Righteous Way. But there're also joints just terrible... f. e. Domestic Violence Pt. II (it's the shame for the first part), La Rhumba ( , this is not what we wanna hear from RZA), Shady (WTF?) or Bong Bong (it's so simplistic that is painful for your ears). We got here mostly impressive cameos (Meth, GZA, Masta, Prodigal, Killa Sin, Tekitha...), but also few terrible (Intrigue, Madame Cez, Big Gipp...). The same could be said about beats. I think it could be a classic 10/10 album if RZA focused more on it to avoid mentioned awful tracks...

Can't believe a thread for this didn't get made until now. There is just something about this album I can't really explain, that strikes me as great. It isn't the nothing too special lyrics but a lot of dope lines aspect, it isn't the RZA aspect, it isn't the different sounding, nearly all dope beats production aspect, but it's the fun and replay value that goes into this CD. I hate to throw out personal classic to an album that, face it, isn't a classic. But this CD is so damn close to me being a personal classic that it's about another grimy Mathematics beat away from it. Bob Digi, we all know who is he, displays wordplay unsimilar to anything you'd classify as being a "dope MC." But it's the non-seriousness, the quirky, catchy, and often clever and funny rhyming within Bobby Digital that makes him entertaining. Behind the building of this album is the oft-great, certified banger beats. From heavy sampling on "Can't Lose," (obviously inspired for Common's "Testify"," to the gritty, 95-esque feel to "It Must Be Bobby," to the thought provoking, powerful and uplifting soul behind "Build Strong," the production is by no means a down side. And although some will absolutely fall in the love an album like this, a lot will also hate it.

I'm giving it a 9.5/10. Something about this CD that I just love.

I agree with everything you said. This is one of my favorite albums evar.

Very nice album, underated alittle bit

[Luz]

Good cd. Not as good as In Stereo. Wayyy too many wack guests. As I've said before, Must Be Bobby pwns all degrees of face. Try and find the limited edition version with the extra songs. They are some of the best on the cd.

Best songs:

Must Be Bobby

Throw Your Flag Up

Show U Love

Brooklyn Babies

Cousins

Odessey



Black Widow pt. II has got to be on of the worst Wu related songs ever released. ODB is so terrible on it. Listening to it makes me sad.



Overall

7/10 Pretty tight but could have (and should have) been better.

[Da Dishonourable Don]

I love Rza, but this album wasn't that hype, it wasn't whack either, but I was hoping to hear that real authentic WU flav, whatever happened to Rza "The Cure" album, I waited centuries to hear that one, in my opinion I give this album 6/10 rating!

"Walking down the street
Dark Dark Night
Saw a pretty girl bitch caught my sight

BITCH!! u know u belong to me
Walked over said, How u be?
BITCH!! know my Dirt Dog Dope MC

Drove her to my house
AHHHH to my house

Bitch Dis Something That You'll Never Forget!!
on the 1st punch started to scream
on the 2nd punch thought she had a bad dream
on the 3rd punch she started to cry
dirt dog i dont wanna die!!!
BITCH SHUT THE UP!!!
pussy aint nuttin but a skin on your bone
you can fuck it you can suck you can leave it alone
twen twen twenty five cents is the regular price

and a dollar worth leave it alone!!!!"

I just wish the song was longer cause I love bangin that beat with that chick screaming, dope fucking track

[11th Chamber]

Another great review Silencer. Just suprised you gave Cant Loose a rating like that, I honestly cant bare that track.

Get at us with that BOAP!!

[famenchuan]

I love Bob Digi in Stereo but I really was not feeling Digital Bullet however Black widow part 2 is fucking sick.

[benzo]

this album has got PERSONALITY. most artists won't just "do them" but RZA obviously catered to his own tastes on this one. i dig it!

[infamous2702]

I like it, but Domestic Violence 2 sucks dick!

[FrenchShin]

Bobby's the shit anyway.

[KK Camaron]

I want another Digi album.......... sooo badly.

[MASTER PAI MEI]
