Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2004 Took him long enough. If this was 8 years ago I would be all over that shit. As it is now, Wu Tang is my top of the hip hop mountain and I always enjoy Masta Killa's stuff with them. I will probably download it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Urine Sane Report post Posted May 31, 2004 i guess it comes with a DVD and shit, so it is actually worth a purchase. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2004 I generally don't listen to rap, and certainly don't buy it much. There is inevitably too much dead weight on any rap album. A DVD won't help that for me really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2004 Meh. He's probably my least favorite of the original Wu-Tang, but a lot of that is because Enter the Wu-Tang is my bible and he has all of one verse on that. Pass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steviekick 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2004 I heard a new Wu song (I think it's off this album) with Masta and ODB. It kinda samples the theme song from Sanford and Son. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Urine Sane Report post Posted June 1, 2004 Edwin, I believe he's only got one verse is because he was incarcerated at the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
art_vandelay 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2004 Are you speaking of his verse on "Chessboxin"? If so, he sure made a whole lot out of it. One of my fav rap verses, period. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Urine Sane Report post Posted June 1, 2004 This is from mastakilla.net Masta Killa was first introduced to the world on the Wu-tang Clan hit "Da Mystery Of Chessboxin'" in 1993 from the classic album "Enter the 36 Chambers". Due to being incarcerated at the time, Killa was unable to appear on any other songs from this album, but that memorable verse was enough to secure him a starting position in the seminal supergroup The Wu-tang Clan. After his release, Masta Killa made appearances on every Wu-Tang Clan album, many solo Wu projects, as well as projects by Afu-Ra, Bounty Killer and Public Enemy. Masta Killa feels his time has finally come. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2004 He's got a good name. I stole it and used it myself for some things with an added h at the end. So I'll be into it. That's not the only reason, but yeah. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2004 I preferred his verse from the song "Triumph" better. Maybe because the video was well done and his part went very well with his lines. I only care about this release because Wu Tang falls into my personal holy trinity of hip hop along with Bone Thugz N Harmony and Hieroglyphics. The early Death Row years and the early Cash Money years are ones I'm not aversed to listening to also. Hieroglyphics is in although I've only heard an album of their's from 97 or 98. It was a strong album though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Urine Sane Report post Posted June 1, 2004 I do really like him in triumph, he's on that huge platform talking to the masses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2004 should be decent... am I the only Wu fan who feels they've lost several steps since Enter The Wu-Tang? I mean Wu-Tang Forever was good but The W and Iron Flag failed to impress me as well as most of the solo projects...other than Meth I think these guys are better as a unit than they are apart and even his last 2 albums have fallen off a touch...

Guest Urine Sane Report post Posted June 1, 2004 I agree with that. Though I think GZA's Legend of The Liquid Swords was pretty good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Urine Sane Report post Posted June 2, 2004 I got it today and it is amazing, back to the old school style of Wu Tang. PICK IT UP!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2004 Downloaded it the night this thread came up and I was impressed enough that I'm gonna keep it on the computer. I would probably buy it except I have a serious problem wth buying hip hop when i have so much metal to catch up on buying. That said, it is nowhere near the greatness of the 36 chambers album, but it does hold up beside the solo albums pretty well. The production is full of recollection of the original wu tang days with disjointed beats and odd timing/sounds. Best thing about this album is that he didn't force fuck 30 songs onto an album, he got his shit said in 13 songs(plus skits) and left it at that. Another serious plus is that he didn't fill all his songs with 'gangsta' shit and bragging about being in prison and all that bullshit. I'd recommend it.
