Then and now:
Good beat but very amateurish and energicless performances by those 3 kids,which is normal since they're kids... even though it's a boring track...
2.5/5
E N Y House:
Reused and reworked beat by Doom...It comes nice yet it lacks some energy. Masta's verses stop abruptly, which gives the song a very unfinished feeling and makes it unpleasant to listen, since there's no structure or whatever...
2.5/5
Brooklyn King:
This breakbeat instrumental could have worked with energetic emceeing on it... but Masta comes very boring and the on the chorus, he sounds like he's falling asleep... once again the song structure is absent, verses stopping strangly etc... boring song
2.75/5
It Is What It Is:
First dope song. Simple yet powerful beat (i love those drums) and Rae & Ghost bring some life to the song. Even Masta Killa is awake on this one.
4.5/5
Nehanda & Cream:
First this long, boring, useless and cliché skit... the beat is good,and Killa comes nice on it. The chorus is once again kinda lazy though... not a bad song anyway...
3.5/5
Iron God Chamber:
Beat is kinda good, on some uptempo wu-vibe... kinda irritating after a while but the wu fellows shine on it, especially RZA and Method Man, they bring energy to the mix.
4.5/5
Pass The Bone Remix:
Weak use of the classic Al Green track. I guess they were thinking sampling Hi-Records songs was enough to make a wu banger.
Song sounds once again unfinished, it's not flowing right, chorus is weak... i'm really surprised about the amateurish feel this album got so far... i'm wondering if it's the final product...
2/5
Older Gods pt2:
WTF? this is one of the most boring and irritating track i heard in a long time... first those Popa Wu dialogues are boring jibberish, it sounds like 2 drunk homeless dudes... then this horrible beat... i remember Madlib used that sample 100000000x better, i think it was on the Madvillain album (i'm not sure... They must have sequenced this song in 30 seconds, it's so poorly done... those short verses, those long stupid dialogues...
0.5/5
let's Get Into Something:
It sounds like an amateurish Ghostface single. The singing is atrocious and way too long, it takes like forever before Masta comes and drop a boring "pretty skintone female" verse... Is this seriously the retail version of this album??
1/5
Street Corner:
Let's forget that this beat is reused... it's actually a very dope wu-song. Dope slow wu beat by Bronze, nothing groundbreaking but that vintage wu sound we love... Deck is perfect on the beat, same with Gza. One of the best tracks on the album, plus it sounds like a real song, not a demo like too many over tracks...
4.5/5
Ringing Bells:
Dope beat by Bronze, Masta's nice on it too. One of the few highlights of the album.
4/5
East Mcs:
First, Masta please, stop trying to sing over the beat, it's horrible. Beat is good, even though it's getting boring after a while... emcees are good on it... good song
3.5/5
Lovely Lady:
It takes once again forever before it starts and then... in fact i don't know a lot about raggae so i can't judge this song... but it feels so much out of place...
no rating.
So i really wonder if it's the final retail, since most of the songs sound like demos, poorly arranged etc... If it's the final version, there's a big big problem... how can they release something so underachieved?
It's miles away from No Said Date (which was a really dope wu release). Deck's Resident Patient shits on this album and it's just a mixtape... I though Bronze album was boring, but it almost sounds like a Busta Rhymes album compared to Made In Broolyn...
3/5
