The Saga Continues: Wu Tang 2017

I didn't even know they were working on anything.

I get home from work and I catch the tell tale sound of a 90's rap music video.

Me: Is that the Mutha $&@-*%# Wu tang clan?
Wife: Ya that's right ^%#+=$
Me: Damn. I didn't even know they were doing anything anymore.
Wife: shut up and listen

So I did.

And it's true. The Saga Continues.
I'm really enjoying the sound.

We got most the regulars back, but it seems the Gza only has some limited parts. U-God not present.
Lots of Methodman, a couple new guys.
Produced by Mathematics and Rza.

Your welcome.

Man, how did I not hear anything about this!

Ghost Face can tell stories. Had an amazing flow.
Rza, for awhile had the most influential beats circa Bobby Digital and still returns to form even 20 years later.

The Saga Continues

I am glad Cappadonna is on here, and it looks like Sean Price (RIP) got in on this. I am looking forward to it.

ITS SOOO GOOD I like if time is money and Lesson learn'd

This is the greatest news since a long time!!!!!

i love how they kept with their sound if you know what I mean.
The Wu have a very distinct sound too their albums.
Most of the newer rap I hear coming out have this very singular instrument beat, almost hallow.
The tang always had multiple instruments overlapping each other, with a very hypnotic main beat.
You can almost always tell a Wutang track from the instruments alone.

My favourite Wu tang artist has to be Ghost Face, followed closely by Rza.
Big fan of their track Nutmeg.

I love that they Crapped on Martin Shkreli multiple times

Is this the release of the album that troll shkreli had?

WU TANG IS FOREVER

Hahaha ya I noticed that also

Pretty good album , and great timing, this and the jay-z 4:44 was needed to save hip hop.

I really like the track "Story of OJ"
The video was really well done also.

Are you telling me that your wife copped the new sound without telling you?

Man, you married the right lady.

That is so kool I have to check it out, ODB will be missed he was so unique.

Maybe it is just nostalgia but I find a lot if recent hip-hop/rap has lost it's grime and essence.

Aesop Rock has always been pretty gritty to me. As well as Jedi Mind Tricks (even though Vinnie Paz's style never changes)

Great album. It's cool to hear the wutang still going strong after all these years. This album is fully produced by Mathematics (who has shown he can rock with legendary beatmakers such as Rza) His first solo album Love, hell or Right was one of my favorite albums back when it dropped. I also like that they announced this a month prior to the release so we didn't have to wait forever for it to drop. My highlight on this album has to be the Sean Price joint. That beat is all types of ugly in the most positive way lol. It's been a pretty decent fall so far for us wu heads, because Masta Killa's recent album was a nice surprise as well and it rivals this one in every way. A lot of wu-features and badazz beats. I listened to those two albums back to back and it was a wu-heaven! As for that album that we don't talk about....who knows if/when that´ll drop. The latest word was M80 was contacting the owner to purchase it. Whatever happens, happens...I've got faith in M80 bringing back real hip hop to the fans but there is another thing happening too. Rza has made Ghostface Killah the nr1 general of the next wu-tang album. In a recent interview, ghost said he was working on this album and it will be his next album out (talked about as early as first quarter of 2018!) Ghost has without a doubt, the best ear for beats out of anybody in the wu and he's been real busy bumping out quality products for two decades now. So with him overseeing the new wutang project, the wu-tang legacy is in really good hands.
