Love the album! It is kinda wack bt the standard of their first three albumsm but still better than almost any album you will buy.
I gotta say, the beat for "dashing" is real wack. Deck still killed it.
I think the younger Wu fans like myself appreciate this album more than the older fans.
I Think you have a point on that one. It seems the newer/younger fans like it more than me. I guess that's cuz we remember the impact the first three (especially the first 2) albums had on the industry and the fans at that time.
Iron Flag just couldnt compete for us. Shit's hot though. 8 Diagrams will be better.
Pinky Ring baby, anyway not that good as the W
the second half of the disc is all classic...The W has some better production (like Gravel Pit, Hollow Bones & Proteck Ya Neck) but lyrically Iron Flag is better
I liked In The Hood, Rules, Chrome Wheels, One Of These Days, Ya'll Been Warned, Babies, Back In The Game, Iron Flag, and Dashing
11 out of 12 tracks, Though not one of my favorite tracks Uzi (Pinky Ring) wasn't as bad and is actually listenable compared to Radioactive. I hate Radioactive, the beat doesn't get along with my ears. Soul Power is okay, but its too dated. The "2002" killed it. Though it does set the tone of the album for a future listener.
I liked Iron Flag. A personal classic IMO.
1. In da hood 5/5
2. Rules 5/5
3. Chrome wheels feat Prodigal Sun and 12 0 clock 4/5
4. Soul power feat Flavor Flav 3/5
5. Uzi 3/5
6. Ya'll been warned 5/5
7. Babies 5/5
8. Radioactive 4/5
9. Back in the game feat Ron Isley 3/5
10. The Iron Flag 4.5/5
11. Dashing 3/5
12. The W 3/5
this album's a banger for deffo, but not a classic.
best track is Y'all Been Warned.
reminds me alot of Shadow Boxing from Liquid Swords.
in fact, shadow boxing acapella would sit right on this beat, no doubt..
1.In The Hood - 5/5 - Loved it. This is how you start a Wu album. Unfourtanetly, its all downhill from here.
2.Rules - 2/5 - Ehhh.
3.Chrome Wheels - 1/5 - WTF is this?
4.Soul Power - 3/5 - It's ok.
5.Uzi - 4/5 - Great single, good fam track. All generals on here shine.
6.One Of These Days - 3/5 - Ok production, lyrics are good.
7.Ya'll Been Warned - 2/5 - Annoying.
8.Babies - 5/5 - Classic. Sounds like something from 36 Chambers/Forever era.
9.Radioactive (Four Assassins) - 2/5. Lyrical delivery is there, production devalues this.
10.Back In The Game - 2/5 Same as above.
11.Iron Flag - 3/5 - Could've been alot better. Like this album.
12.Dashing (Reasons) - 4/5 - I liked it.
Some good stuff here and there, but it came off to me as rushed and underperformed. No one gives there A game on here, from production to lyrics. INS does try on here, but he seems to be the only hungry member on here. "In the Hood", "Babies", and "Uzi" save this album from sinking like the Titanic. i know Ill get flamed by IF fans, but come on, how do you go from "36", to "Forever", to "The W", to this? Not to metion the clan wasnt very tight around this time. Cappa and U-God feuding with other clansmen, along with the fact that the production and popularity were on the downside for the Wu. Overall, 6/10. I said it.
Love this album, but never really listened to the first 3 songs. Never in the mood to listen to them. The rest of the album is banging to me, but obviously not as good as it could've been. I still like it though.
Iron Flag ( the track ) is just too dope...damn....one of the best tracks out that year...
bring back begongo!!
