Wu-Tang Meets the Indie Culture
When you read this, ask yourself "What is the definition of Indie?" Is it punks with sketchy clothes on making nerdy sheet music? Maybe its somebody like Atmosphere, maybe its somebody like the Snatches of Pink. Whatever the definition you have had up until this point is now about to become false. Initially when I heard Wu was in the process of releasing new music, I thought to myself about the history of Wu. Mean kids out the streets of NY where rhyming over newspaper burning barrels is more common than kids with new sneakers. Raw dudes who just by hearing a sound clip of C-R-E-A-M create an image in your mind of homies with gold teeth kickin freestyles through headphones. But it wasnt that raw any more after time passed. In fact, to let it be known: I cant name a single album or even a single by any members of the Wu-Tang Clan between the release of Forever and this new shit (with the exception of ODBs single with kelis). That stated, I already know the majority of the song names on this CD.
New music to me is everything, the retention truly measuring the amount of my appreciation. The production is top notch, with crisp, savvy yet definitely Wu-Tang style appeal. Think RJD2 teaming up with Steven King to create a soundtrack for an old Kung Fu movie, I mean some really different shit. And its refreshing! Theres artists like U-God, C-Rayz Walz, Prodigal Sunn, Casual, RZA, MF Doom, Del, Aesop Rock, and even J-Live who make up the majority of the artists who appear on this record. Rocking the perfect lyrics and the perfect production is a pretty difficult thing to do these days and its done on almost every track. This album will be a classic, and a treasured item in the collection of Wu-Tang music. Pick it up, download it, steal it… Whatever, just get it and holla back.
Peace
