A LOT of sources are now reporting that there's going to be a new Wu album released in July to mark the 20th anniversary of Enter The Wu-Tang, and will apparently be called 'A Better Tomorrow'.

This is their livelihood though.Spartan wrote:Try arranging a meet-up with any of your buddies who are all in their forties and then you'll understand.
Many of them are living very comfortably. Plus nothing happens without Bobby and we all know if anyone out of the crew has gotten bigger and stayed paid, it's him.D.

And add in the fact there's always some weird underlying story of so-and-so being owed money by Wu. I agree though, they could easily knock it out and not everyone has to be on every song.DLG wrote:I never got why it's hard for them to all get in the studio together and bang some shit out instead of coming in one by one and recording and pasting verses onto r-za beats like the last one. it's not like it's a logistical problem, probably just laziness and simply not enjoying each other's company any more.

actually, I disagree. there is only ONE 20th anniversary, and the Wu-Tang anniversary is arguably the most important milestone in hip hop history thus far (except for the 25th anniversary of "It Takes A Nation of Millions" that Public Enemy kinda sorta just celebrated but didn't officially)drizzle wrote:if this is something they though up last month and have to turn in next month, i'd rather them not do it at all tbh
I was under the impression that this board along with everyone else in the world was engaged in an unspoken agreement to pretend THAT album doesn't exist and never did. As far as I'm concerned "Holy Are You" is a random loosie. May we never raise this matter again.Mindbender Futurama wrote:
Rakim FUCKED UP ROYALLY when he didn't put out his "Seventh Seal" album out on 7/7/2007 like he said he was going to. He put it out months later, and nobody really gave a fuck. Sure, not many hipster douches would have given a fuck even if he DID put it out on 7/7/2007, but the point is: the universe would have been working in his favor to support that album more than he knows.
I had over 40 users on ignore, now I'm forced to deal people like Mindblender again, it ruins the quality of this forum.Combo7 wrote:What the fuck happened to the ignore button?
Rza actually killed it pretty hard for most of 8 Diagrams I thought, he's not the problem. The problem was the phoned in verses that were for the most part uninspired and put together with zero chemistry. Method went off a couple times on the album, but just about everyone else sounded lazy as fuck.Jaz wrote:I'm looking forward to this album for the most partcan still bring greatness, I think RZA should let outside producers like Adrian Younge, Pete Rock, Oh No, Madlib, Large Professor and J-Zone for example on the album.

yeah, it's a hit and miss. hip hop overall still hasn't perfected and mastered the art of mixing instruments and samples and MCs together, but certain groups have found certain levels of success with some formulas.EichTurner wrote:i read in an interview if they do it rza wanted it to be orchestral instead of samples.. which could be good or bad.. i actually liked 8 diagrams.. and 12 reasons to die gives me new hope for that.. in some ways rza's a more original non sample composer than adrian younge..
honestly though i want samples.. but i could easily be proven wrong..

I like all the Wu-Tang group albums.
first sentence: YES!EMCEE DARTH MALEK wrote:^spot on. they were really hurting for verses it seems. GZA, rae were particularly disappointing. if not for meth it would be embarrassing.
RZA should drop these losers and produce for action bronson
in real life, you are the kind of person i would be proud to have as my friend.EMCEE DARTH MALEK wrote:yes sunlight is amazing. "allah is the father of all how can you doubt him?"
last month a bartender put on action bronson on her ipod and i made fun of her til she shut it off
