2 of 10 review on NME
So, you’re a founding member of the legendary hip-hip combo Wu Tang Clan. And your fans are extremely pissed because you went and done a track with that Justin Bieber.
So you decide to kick it old school, and you get in your old pals Ghostface and Rick Ross and Busta and Method Man. And hey, Estelle’s a fan, so why don’t you put her on the track ‘Chop Chop Ninja’? And, tell you what, we’ll use samples from westerns – like the hammy ‘Snake Pond’!
There’d better be a track to please the manager, let’s use the box-ticking ‘Rock N Roll’, complete with Auto-Tune and Pendulum-esque breakdown. And let’s end the album chanting “Wu-Tang” to fade! That’ll show ’em!

not to mention Rae hasn't ever quit working with Method Man and Ghostface.
"get in your old pals Rick Ross"

Can't believe I'm saying this in 2011, but the Busta verse on "Crane Style" is THE SHIT, dudes.

i can't remember the last thing i heard busta on - the ghostface record?, maybe? - but the verse was pretty good, his flow's got all jazzy

this record is getting lots of repeat action from me - it didn't really land that hard the first time I heard it but the vibe is pretty fuckin cohesive to my ears
