    I love "New Wu", but I have to agree a little with pitchfork. Those verses weren't exactly one of the best verses they ever spit..

    it becomes boring sometimes.. love the hook though!

    If this song was the best to offer from ob4cl2 then why buy the album...the first taste
    is not supposed to be a 10, I'm sure there are hotter tracks on the album. but yeah fuck pitchfork, the song is hot.

    why does it matter what they put? i'm not trying to be an asshole or anything, but it's apparent how different "new wu" and anything by the wu is from the popular music, so those that like and primarily review commercial shit won't feel any of it. fuck them.

    lol they dont primarily review commercial shit

    they review all sorts of shit but I think they are a bit lost at sea when they try and rate hip-hop which is why I feel like they praise Wu-tang to make it look like they know good hip-hop.

    there are a bunch of good rock albums I liked that they completely shit on, when it comes to rock music they are complete snobs

    yeah, you guys are right. the dickriders who post on artists official forums who say that everything the artist does is the best thing since sliced bread are ALWAYS right

    as much as i love the track...i could do without the title..and the video wasnt right IMO...

    i like "back from the slums" like homeboy said earlier...way better title then "new wu"

    and with the video...just didnt fit the images i had in my head...it was still good but i expected it to be better done

    The last two deserved those scores. I like Pro Tools but it's like a 7 for me. And Finding Forever was boring. The first three are definitely off though.
