Anticipate Raekwon - Shaolin vs. Wu Tang

i listened once already but it didn't really make much of an impression

: \

I really like this so far, better than Cuban Linx too. the production's nice and exotic, and the production on the title track is massive. "Crane Style" is great too.

better than Cuban Linx 2 I mean....

better than Cuban Linx too

the original or the sequel?

hahaha... thank god you cleared that up

I was about to leave work immediately to go cop this.

lol yea ain't THAT good.....lol

what are the true keys to bein a ninja?
dressin all black perfect vision and the movement is in silence

^lol

can't tell if it will be as popular w/ internet ppl as cl2. it's not as cinematic & epic, also doesn't have nearly as much hype behind it (obv) but i think it's kind of better & it's got kung fu samples & production really hits a nostalgic early wu nerve. i guess it won't tho, two albums in a row in such short sequence, not much crossover stuff

rock n'roll has grown on me :s

I like rock' roll other than the horrid chorus, as you pointed out.

Part of me also geeks out that I've now seen the movies that they pull soundbytes from.

I agree this is better...has the cinema without being a Rza cop in his absence

i even like the hook now hahaha i am shameless tho

Lol maybe it'll grow on me.

This is really solid, and better than OB4CL2 for me. It's denser, all of one piece, harder, more intense. Almost claustrophobic, which feels like the mood that suits Chef best.

Oh yeah, and the beat for Snake Pond is one of the best he's ever had. His voice and flow is just right - amazing.

i like this a lot too

wow i didnt think this would be any good (mustve been the cover art) -- sounds like i need to cop this tho

yea repeat listens have reaffirmed my initial opinion. and ditto on "Snake Pond". that shit is dope.

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!

great review, dick. says nothing about the music.

not to mention Rae hasn't ever quit working with Method Man and Ghostface.

"get in your old pals Rick Ross"

wait...the NME doesn't get Raekwon? my mind is blown

lol yea the Rick Ross line made me 'wtf'

Lol that guy knows what Pendulum sounds like

deej otm

^^ good review deej

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

really feel like deej...err...D-40 hit the nail on the head w/ the description, and pitchfork got the score right.

crane style is my fav track here i think

yea that's a def highlite

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

kinda bummehttp://blog.devstone.com/images/emote_ellipsis.giftill haven't been able to hear this

wtf is with this rolling ellipses thing now...?

'HAHAHA he look like a chipmunk' :D

so this is pretty good, huh

rev the title track is a "broken language" bite and it's not a bad one either
