Digi Snax Intro: Nice intro, with a short rhyme over a good beat
Long Time Coming: Really like this song. Rza has the voice double going on this. 2nd verse is one I always loved it's from a 'freestyle" over the Rocky song. Think it's on the WAR DVD. All verses are really nice Rza not Bobby verses.
You Can't Stop Me: We've all heard it. I like it, think Deck's verse is fine.
Str8 Up the Block: Ha this is just weird bc when you listen to the album it works for some reason. Is this a little jab at Cap though? Talking about the big dick and then saying in Maryland he bought the cab stand...ha
Booby Trap: I LOVE this beat. If this is one the Clan rejected, well man they are dumb. Wiggles on the chorus doesn't add or subtract from the song. Rza's flow is really smooth
Try Ya Ya: Average slow track. ok verse, I think it's Monk on the second but I could be wrong, I never paid attention to the Black Knights
Good Night: Really nice chill song
No Regrets: Another track that seems to be getting some hate. It's an average track
Money Don't Own Me: There are a lot of tracks that are slow but they sound good. Really like this one. Smooth
Creep: Man, the only bad thing about this song is that it makes you think how it would sound with the Clan on it. The Knights have average acceptable verses, Rza's back to gutter lyrics, but this is a beat that should be reserved for the heavy hitters
Drama: We've all heard this one, people bitch it's Gza's song, but if he wants to up the Gza by redoing a song it's not a crime.
Up Again: Love the intro piano on this. Has high pitched piano loop on most of it with some addition guitars in the background and some addition pianos come in. Really good track
Put Your Guns Down: I forgot the name of the original song and artist sampled and am too lazy too look, but it was used by Royce on his song Life. Rza uses it well, great track, great verses
Love Is Digi 2: This one just grows on me everytime. Would have been better with someone besides Thea. Where's Tekitha
O Day: Nice lyrics, beat is eh. It does have a lot of subtle changes and a big change at the end, but overall not impressive
Dont Be Afraid: This track is just great, the beat, the guitars at the end, the rhymes.
This is a high quality album. Period. It's not a straight banger, it's slower, with atmosphere. It has some elements of some things you wouldn't expect on a Wu album, but Rza makes it work. Even straight up the block makes sense somehow as part of the whole. Just about every track is good, with really good music. Rza really answered his critics with this one. Also there seems to be more Rza than Bobby. Fans stuck on grimey old shit might not like it but they really hate on everything else anyway.
This may make Rae really look like the idiot he is if CL2 doesn't hold up.
