its funny how deck said "I don't know where they got that from" about rza producing that track when it says he did in the production credits
Its a good cd to listen to. I think its made better by the fact that its labelled a mixtape so it doesn't come with the great expectation that the other solo's seem to be coming with. I voted 4 but in reality I would give it a 3.5 as its consistent and enjoyable to listen to.
Only thing that really disappointed me was the sound quality of the cd recording. Easily the poorest quality cd I have ever bought.

i give it a 4..its very solid from start to finish,i was unable to find this shit here in texas...when it comes to mixtapes..screw and swisha house and that is pretty much it..so i had to dl it,its a banger!!
I Think it's a four, i thought it was a full album because there where 3 copies in the store where I bought it and that's not very usual for a mixtape and also it looked proffesional but now I hear the credit's are fucked up that's just like a typical mixtape
Good to hear there's an Album coming up
I Think overall it sounded alright
Iv only listened to it through a couple of times but it sounds real good for a mixtape
4/5..Tight soundz..Inspectah still bangin in 2006..

U-God killed his verse on this cd. This cd was hotter than I expected. Deck got some great NON Wu production . U-God needs this shit. Deck came correct. Housegang was ok Carlton Fisk was bringing the heat, when the fuck is the new deck album droppin? I'll review later.
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.

On his MySpace he calls it an album, not a mixtape.
I was at the Ft Lauderdale Show and I got Deck to Autograph my Wu-SHirt. As he did that I asked him, when his album was dropping, he said it already dropped, its Recident Patient. I told him i alrady had it, he said a part II should be coming out in a couple months.

I think it's dope. i love the fact that i can play it through. i think there's only 1 track i don't like. Overall = 4.
But as far as mixtape/album arguments are concerned= Deck calls it an album. 99% of the time, mixtapes are sold on burned cd's in slim jewel cases and don't cost $13!!!!!! i bought this at this indie record store i go to. it was the same price as a regular cd, in the regular cd section, but he does have his little MySpace promo on the back of the case. No thank you's. No credits to anything BUT Production. To me it's a hot RECORD, it's definitly not a MIXTAPE but there dosen't seem to be enough effort for it to be an ALBUM. it is what it is.
word @ that, it has simularities to both
