Christianity = White Supremacy
I prefer the first soundtrack, but this is still nice. Whar is incredible, i was feeling the lyrics and the beat. Fight for you is also on my repeat, thea doesn't fit in well with a few songs, but she shines on this solo. Ill drop my review within the next few days. Banger status so far.
I wont lie, The first one seemed focused, This one seemed rushed, and honestly besides like 4 joints, Im not feeling it.
I voted banger. After listening to it a few more times, it does seem a little rushed. It's not there is alot of wack songs on the album, just not that many standouts. If the second half of the album matched the first half I would consider it superior.
Top 5: You Already Know, Blood Thicker Than Mud "Family Affair", Whar (fav), Girl Samurai Lullaby, Bloody Samurai
Grade: (3/5) B-
Got the album yesterday...it's heavy
I was lookin forward to the reverend william tracks and they are FI-ARRRRE!!! like some other brotha said, he needs his own album. Does anyone know if he has a myspace or website or somethin? the guy is dope
And as soon as i heard boy jones go "AHhHHhHhHhH" i thought OH NO.....he's tryin to copy his pops.........the kids got decent lyrics, it's just he's whack
but majority of the album is wicked
7.5/10
The black man is not GOD,
All humans were created equally by Allah
The only superior human is the one who posesses Piety!
ALLAH the almighty is not a man .......
Right now my rating is between a 3.5/5 - 4/5
Only a few years ago Hip Hop purists may have felt superior listening to hard core while their less enlightened companions snacked on commercial rap. As Shaolin research began to point out the overwhelming benefits of raw production, true hip hop enthusiasts started turning back to traditional styles. Wu-Tang in particular, has been shown to myriad beneficial effects, from warding off ignorance and poverty to reducing the risk of incarceration and death.
LOL put that drug down

I'm listening to this right now and it's 50/50. Half good tracks, half skippable. It's really strange what RZA is doing right now, the inconsistency within just one record continues. A few beats on here I love and think that RZA continually changes things up and it sound amazing. Then, on the next track, I think that the beat could be made by virtually any neophytic producer. All in all, I do appreciate the eclectic style he has always done and always will.
Upon first listen, the only true first-listen bangers are Whar (I love the re-hashed beat from Clan in Da Front, an indirect homage to 36 Chambers), Bloody Samurai, Brother's Keeper, Take Sword Pt. III (though it's too long), and Number One Samurai (though the beat is recycled). A part of me dislikes Arch Nemesis, mostly due to the lyrics and drums, but something about the beat is hypnotic. I like it, it's very different.
Anyway, I'm on the fence about this record. Needs multiple listens to truly get a feel for the music of RZA.
This album has quite possibly the worst rhymin from RZA i've ever heard.
am I alone in thinking Killarmy should use the "Whar" beat on their new effort?
