classic
banger
average
mediocre
wack
I thought the album was good...not great, not better than NSD, but good. Not as bad as people have said it was on here....There are a couple songs I really feel, some songs that are good, then a few songs I won't ever listen to again and always skip. For me personally, that pretty sums up most of the hiphop albums I buy nowadays anyway.
I believe there's enough on here for a Wu fan to like. It's just not classic, but that's ok.

I like what I´ve heard especially East Mcs Iron God Chamber and Ringing Bells I want this and I´m sure its the only one that comes out on its said date
I think I'm the only one who doesn't like Ringing Bells and although I liked Bronze's album, I think he's overrated on this site. I think the best track is Iron God Chamber. Like dude just said, it's not a bad album just not classic. I think for the next go round Masta should pick his beats very carefully.
yeah its good enough to buy which is what ima do
my lil local record store always get shit early and there was mad young heads in there scoopin' up masta killa's joint. lil 12 year old kid coppin' 2 copies of made in brooklyn. you gotta love that shit.
LOL, the young ones are listening

um it's better than fishscale, aren't as many rnb raps on it with the exception of track 9 which i quickly deleted. i think it's a solid wu album no said date is slightly better but still it's pretty sick
good album, but too many flaws that add up to keep it from being anything more. 13 tracks leaves little room for error. some tracks are too long, some too short. and a couple of r&b missfires.
1. then & now (4/5) should have kept it professional
2. e.n.y. house (5/5)
3. brooklyn king (2/5) should have been a 0:45 second skit
4. its what it is (5/5)
5. nehanda & cream (4.5/5)
6. iron god chamber (4.5/5) mk gets slayed on his own track; shame.
7. pass the bone 2 (4.5/5)
8. older godz 2 (2/5) not good & way too long.
9. lets get into something (0/5) rap n' bullshit
10. street corner (4/5)
11. ringing bells (5/5)
12. east mc's (4/5) too long. why free murdah?
13. lovely lady (0/5) just pretend its a bonus skit
Overall; a decent followup. Time will tell how the replay value goes.
Disappointment comes only because I hold such high standards for the clan.
, LOL

1. Then & Now - 4/5: very dope beat, one of the best on this album, but wasted for some Wu kids... maybe they got potential, but still need a lot of education
2. E.N.Y. House 4/5: nice beat, Masta is good on this track
3. Brooklyn King 1,5/5: boooooring, beat sucks and Masta couldn't save this joint
4. It's What It Is 4/5: this song is growing on me, good Masta, Rae & Ghost collabo
5. Nehanda & Cream 4,5/5: one of my favs on the album, Bronze did good work with the beat, which fits Masta style of rap
6. Iron God Chamber 2/5: sorry, but I hate this annoying beat, it's a shame that 4 Generals had to spit over this crap
7. Pass The Bone Pt. II 4,5/5:, faster and more positive beat, I really feel it. Masta sounds real good over this
8. Older Godz Pt. II 1/5, very long track with shitty beat (Pete Rock, wtf??), plus boring interludes.
9. Let's Get Into Something 1/5: Masta, what is this?? Ne-Yo or other RnB bitch ass artist?? bleeeee
10. Street Corner 4,5/5: would be 5/5, but we all know that this beat is recycled. another lovely INS, Masta & GZA collabo (remember Silverbacks?)
11. Ringing Bells 4/5: another good job by Bronze, he provides the best beats on the album, Masta doesn't sleep on the mic
12. East MC's 4,5/5: yup, kinda Wu banga, but there should be some other Wu affiliates, like Priest, Razah & Timbo, instead of two unknown MC's and Freemurda
13. Lovely Lady 1/5: errrrrr, oh my god, this shit is terrible, I don't understand how this jumped on the Masta album u know...
Average album IMO, some tracks are fuckin crap, just awful... I think that Masta could make far better album. Production on this album is owned by Bronze, so why he didn't use other Wu Elements productions?? Plus Masta is more boring on the mic than on NSD. Overall, NSD was far better album than Made In Brooklyn.
Peace
I like this song my man Victorious is the shit on it!12. East MC's 4,5/5: yup, kinda Wu banga, but there should be some other Wu affiliates, like Priest, Razah & Timbo, instead of two unknown MC's and Freemurda

First let me say MK is one of my favorite Wu generals, I loved NSD and yeah yeah I know it ain't out yet but i'm still postin a review fuckaz:
1. Then and Now - 3.5/5 : Might be a 5/5 track for me if it was actually MK or some other Wu niggas. That beat is dope as fuck but let's face it, it's wasted on the kids. Yeah they got potential and I think it's cool to hear em on a track but usin this as the opener? With a beat like this.? Nah, keep it like NSD, a little skit/track.
2. E.N.Y. House - 4.5/5 : Here we go, a real track MK spittin some dope shit. I like the beat too, could be a bit longer though.
3. Brooklyn King - 4/5: I like this shit alot. Again just a hip-hop track with MK spittin some shit no other bullshit. Nice simple drum beat and bassline too.
4. It's What It Is - 5/5: One of favorites on the album, love the sample and all 3 verses are ill. Ghost + Rae = hot tracks always.
5. Nehanda Cream - 4.5/5: This is where the album starts to get annoying. Now I rated it high cause in being fair to MK once the song actually starts at like 1:30 in it's a nice song. But why the stupid interlude in the beginning? Taking up space on the track and just doesn't need to be there but still a nice song when it gets going.
6. Iron God Chamber - 5/5: Dunno seen alotta people hatin this song. I like it alot, nice consistent beat U-God and Rza sound dope as well as MK.
7. Pass the Bone Remix - 5/5: Nice solo track from MK. No extra bullshit, kinda more upbeat lyrics and beat too, I like.
8. Older Gods Part 2 - 3/5: Again this rating is a bit generous because when MK is actually spitting on the beat I like it. But it just has stupid interludes on it like the Nehanda Cream song. Pointless shit taking up space and totally messes up the flow of the track.
9. Let's Get Into Something - 2/5: Boring beat in my opinion, fucking most of the shit is some R&B nigga. Shit like this on MiB is annoying when it ain't even MK spittin on the mic. And even when he does finally come in at the end ain't nothing special with this beat.
10. Street Corner - 4.5/5: Recycled beat is lame, but I like it none the less and all 3 generals spit some nice shit on this track, no extra bullshit interludes on it neither, good track.
11. Ringing Bells - 4.5/5: Nice beat from Bronze, he brought heat for this album. Just Masta on the track nice shit.
12. Easy M.C.'s - 4.5/5: I like the beat alot. MK has a nice verse, although some other generals would be sick on this beat than the guest rappers chosen.
13. Lovely Lady - 4.5/5, 2/5 for placement: Hahaha, man. This track, what can I say. Thing is, I like Reggae alot. Could be my favorite type of music or one of and as a Reggae track this shit is nice. Very chill and has a nice melody. But this is a Masta Killa album, what the fuck is it doing on here? Maybe as a b-side or some unreleased shit. But it just doesn't work as a part of this album. By itself it's a nice a Reggae track like I said, I actually really enjoy it but it just doesn't fit on this album. And MK really isn't anything special at the end.
Overall ima give it 4/5. That might be a bit generous but I do like some of the songs on here and I've always liked MK alot. But i'm gonna agree with people that say, in all honestly this is a letdown especially after NSD. And there's just something weird about it. The placement of songs, sequencing, annoying interludes, some tracks where MK is only on it for like 30 seconds to a minute. Just doesn't really feel like the quality type of solo album that was NSD, not even enough MK throughout the album IMO. Still gotta say though, a light recommendation for MK/Wu fans.

Yeah, I know that some cat named Victorious appears on this track (plus some other, unknown to me). Can you provide me some info about him? Is he Wu affiliated or something?
