i actually bought Pillage when I went through my "buy every Wu-Tang affiliated release I don't currently own, no matter how minute or pointless" phase last year. Never even got through one listen. ZzzzZzzzzzzzzzzzz.
I like the first Inspectah Deck solo album tho

I even bought that GZA "Pro Tools" one ....kinda meh, tho mostly due to the production.

Yeah, thats a cool lp. Inspectah is great throughout. Always loved the horribly schmoopy hook on the title track, good memories trying to sing like that fool. I sing that hook to my kid on occasion

Muggs Gza album was kinda cool at the time but doesnt have any staying power. Pro Tools is boring. I bought Pillage back when, like 25% good iirc.

bob digi album is best post classic era solo lp in my humble opinion. fuck what you think, daily routine, mantis holocaust terrorist domestic violence all sick

That one had the odd good track a cool cover, but I don't think RZA's rapping can carry a whole album.

yeah was gonna come here to say that there are def some low points, the labored sex-as-football rhymes being the worst. in general it's pretty consistent. his rhyme style is so clinical and dry it can get kinda boring, his tunes really live or die on the strength of the storytelling imho. these are the ones I thought were standouts:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQPJUV3n6Sshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yk4RTJzmlgohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-7g03iM3tU&feature=relatedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BudaSqOZpkE&feature=related
