5%er rap is a great form to me, but duke still sounds uninspired. And this is allegedly the "official single" (whatever that means these days). I don't know... I think I might like "Paper Plate" better.

It's not bad at all. I actually didn't mind "Paper Plate" either, I just think it's stupid for him to be dissing 50 Cent (cuz frankly who cares).

I just think he can do better, the beat also isn't that great to me.

yeah... i feel if he got with rza again (if rza can even provide it anymore) it would be a classic... i feel like gza still has it

but yeah i would have rather heard ragu rip him up and him swing back and then get ate up in the streets

Fantastic song. Possibly the best lyrical performance this year. He also sounds much more focused and still razor-sharp with the rhythm.

Hes a running joke on this site for some reason, I hope people form their own opinions instead of assuming this is weak becuz mr Deskjob who always wanted to rhyme like GZA says it's wack.

I never heard anyone complain about his calm flow back in the day, listen to this and Shadowboxin, same thing.

Album could be the best wu to drop in a long while.

This is dope. I think he's choosing the wrong beats to showcase his understated flow though.

Verge · Post by **Verge** » Sat Jul 26, 2008 1:43 pm

Wow. This is some classic Wu sounding shit! Those drums are dirty,filthy,ruggedness. He sounds a little more inspired than on that "Paperplate" joint,too.

The beat is good but I still think he would have sounded better on another one, perhaps at a different tempo. Get at GZA for an acapella and remix that shit, man!

song is alright, I still think it could be better. Beat is pretty bland and repetative to me. The lyrics and the song's general construction are solid though.

Nom Inf · Post by **Nom Inf** » Sat Jul 26, 2008 4:01 pm

I think this beat is really dope. It's got the

feel to it. This is what he should rhyme over. Should have put Ghost on this joint. Their styles compliment each other.
