Just boarded a plane for a last minute biz trip. Should have some time (and my computer available) to start the track rollout tonight, hopefully.

Epic Records managed to fuck up the album quite heavily, switching the track sequencing, and completely deleting some of the highlights like "The Sun" (which Coles recently revealed had to be deleted since RZA couldn't find the original record he had sampled)
lol. too bad tho, because that song is incredible and would've def improved the album

Iirc there was a whole archive on unreleased ghostface stuff going around, it wasn't just bulletproof wallets that had stuff cut.
One of my fav wu details is how many album covers are Rae and or ghost just casually hanging out

so Black Shampoo will be the Sway of this poll, right?
― Larry Elleison (rogermexico.), Monday, 20 November 2017 19:45 (eight years ago)
the Sway is gonna be from Pretty Toney Album if I had to guess
― voodoo chili, Monday, 20 November 2017 20:15 (eight years ago)
Good guess but i have no idea what the consensus track is there (i did put one up p high)
― Οὖτις, Monday, 20 November 2017 21:17 (eight years ago)
This catalogue is so vast and sprawling that we might have a rollout full of Sways or a weirdly consensus-y one
― voodoo chili, Monday, 20 November 2017 22:36 (eight years ago)
mostly just bumping for lols tbh... i don't think it's giving away too much to say Black Shampoo didn't quite make my cut

I didn't vote--too much of their expansive catalogue that I don't know--but I'd like to listen along. Is anyone planning on getting a Spotify playlist going?

one of my favorite RZA productions, he beats Preemo at his own game

Good one. Also a nice example of a minimalist RZA production - as far as I can hear it's just a straight four-bar loop from the intro to Al Green's "You Oughta Be With Me," no other instruments or embellishments added.
― Futuristic Bow Wow (thewufs), Monday, 27 November 2017 18:41 (eight years ago)
yup. a blueprint for the minimalist new york scene that was hot a few years back ie ka and roc marciano
― competitive shooter - - - - (Spottie), Monday, 27 November 2017 18:47 (eight years ago)
didn't end up voting for any of these results so far, but all good stuff. I think w "Impossible" I left it off cuz I don't love the Tekitha hook or the beat, really.
― Οὖτις, Monday, 27 November 2017 18:49 (eight years ago)
yeah never liked that hook

All the chopped vocal samples at the beginning are killer (also v Preemo)
