Okay, I want everyone to tell me that I'm not the only person excited about the new Wu-Tang LP Iron Flag...I managed to get 2/3 of the LP on Audiogalaxy to hold me over til it comes out in two weeks, and it's fantastic, a perfectly logical extension from The W...it's spare and dark like the best Wu music, but not as miserable and melancholy as The W...this record is more groove-based, and the lyrics are angrier, GZA and Raekwon sound particularly vicious... The best song seems to be "Pinky Ring (The Uzi)", which is the full-Clan (minus Ol Dirty) song, which has this amazing horn loop... All of the songs I've heard are of the same high quality you would expect from the best Wu...

The new Ghostface is pretty good too, but uneven, and a disappointment after the amazing Supreme Clientele LP... Maybe he's saving the best for the new Ghostface/Raekwon LP, which is coming out in the beginning of 2002. Apparently there's a new Meth/Redman LP coming out soon too...

It's a great time to be a Wu fan.

Oh, in semi-related news: Jay-Z's MTV Unplugged LP comes out on Dec 18, same day as Iron Flag... the tracklist, for those interested:
"Izzo (H.O.V.A.)"
"Takeover"
"Girls, Girls, Girls"
"Jigga What, Jigga Who"
"Big Pimpin' "
"Heart of the City (Ain't No Love)"
"Can I Get A ... "
"Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem)"
"Ain't No N---a"
"Can't Knock the Hustle"/ "Family Affair" (feat. Mary J. Blige)
"Song Cry"
"I Just Wanna Love U (Give It 2 Me)" (attention Foxxxy Feminist Fury!!!)
"Jigga That N---a"
"People Talkin' " (new studio track)

Jay-Z is backed by The Roots (minus Black Thought and Rahzel) on this recording. Jay-Z is saying that he's going to have ANOTHER new record out by early fall 2002...he's a prolific bastard.

Ah, and folks should check out the Wu-Tang discography overview article by Sasha Frere Jones in the recent issue of The Wire with Kid 606 on the cover...it's really well done, and despite a few very minor quibbles, I share most of her opinions...

Note: I have a higher opinion of Wu-Tang Forever than most...

So do I.

Christmas seems to be a great time for hip-hop, and this year more than most. New De La, new Wu, new Ghost, new Mobb Deep, new Busta, new Nas. Admittedly, those last three could be either excellent or sub-par, and I don't hold out much hope for the Nas album, although I do like 'Got Yourself A...' (predictable but fun sampling of The Sopranos theme included).

'Pinky Ring' is fantastic, true. What I've heard of the new Ghost is uneven as you say, but 'Flowers', 'The Forest' and 'Theodore' mean that I will probably buy it sometime in the next week or so...

15:32 / 09.12.01
Yeah, I've been pretty excited by the prospects of new Ghostface and Wu albums. I think I'll always buy their albums (although I wouldn't say that of any other Clan members), there's always at least a third of the material worth having.

Wu-Tang Forever was cool because it was so different to everything else being released at the time. If you listen to RZA, it could have been a lot better if the rest of the Clan had got on board with his intentions for the album (but equally, a hip hop opera could be like King Arthur on ice, woefully self-indulgent). It did pull in too many directions, and it did need heavy editing.

As High as Wu-Tang Gets was a fucking stormer.

Hearing 'Reunited' for the first time is up there in my top ten oh-my-god-I-can't-believe-how-fucking-good-this-is musical experiences... "take your brain on space walk, talk strange like Bjork, great hero Jim Thorpe"... brilliance.
 
 
Matthew Fluxington
23:53 / 09.12.01
wow. the fact that there was a new Mobb Deep LP somehow escaped my attention. cool. has anyone heard the new Outkast single, by the way? It's fantastic, and somehow, some way, sounds a lot like Parklife-era Blur. No kidding!

My deep, deep love of the Wu is hard for me to really express in words... when the Wu is on, there is just few things like it, as far as I'm concerned. It's funny, I was listening to "Reunited" just a bit before, recalling the moment I first heard it and flipped out cos I'd never heard anything quite like it before...honestly, I've never heard anything like it since.

The song that gets me most on the new Ghostface is "Strawberries"... that track is just magical...

I'm listening to Liquid Swords as I type this... oh man.


I'm really glad you both responded to this thread. I was getting worried that there were no other Wu fans to talk to here...

..now that's a scary thought..

'Pinky Ring' is their new single, right?

cos if it's the one I heard on the radio the other day then it rocks quite severely..

RANDOM QUESTION: are Masta Killa's solo records any good? because I love his bits on the Wu-Tang songs..

Masta Killa has never released a solo record, he's the only Wu member to never do so. He has had one in the works for ages now, but the project is still in limbo.

He has a really great solo track on the US version of the Ghost Dog soundtrack, though.

hey anyone in nyc should be able to get a hold of this cd bootlegged... i've had it for about a week already.... it's fucking great.... there is some very strange music on it... great standout performances from ugod, rza... didn't here very much of ghost on it but you figure he was busy on his record, nor odb... it's nothing like The W, much more bangin'andhoppin' -- destroys any other hiphop record from this year.

IRON FLAG, as I explained it to my roommate:

me: "It's like The W, but a lot less miserable and melancholy, and The W was like 36 Chambers, but a lot more miserable and melancholy"

her: "so, it sounds like 36 Chambers?"

me: "no, not really. but it does sound like The W, but less depressing."

Does that logic make any sense to you?


Ah, just to have my say: the record is really good, but it's not nearly as great and inspired as Jay-Z's Blueprint LP.

Y'know, I never liked the W that much - it always seemed too miserable, almost self-indulgent in places...'Chamber Music' and the early tracks give you quite high hopes for it as an album, but then it just gets bogged down in misery.

This one's better, you say?

oh. ok. I'm sure I remember seeing some records by him .. maybe I'm confusing him with 'Killa Priest', whoever he may be. I thought maybe they were the same person.

Now I can't even remember which one it is I like! I dunno, these Wu-Tang fellas.. pretty hard to keep up with..

I'm really enjoying the first Bobby Digital album at the minute though, improves greatly after a few listens.

Actually, I like The W more. I prefer the Wu when they are more grimey and miserable. This record is really grimey, but not quite miserable. If I had to compare it to another Wu album, I'd compare it to Only Built 4 Cuban Linx. It's a bit like that.

Ah, Masta Killa, Killah Priest, Ghostface Killah---all different guys. Killah Priest is just a Wu affiliate, he's GZA's buddy.

for clarity's sake, this is the Wu-Tang Clan: RZA, GZA/The Genius, Method Man, Ghostface Killah, Raekwon The Chef, Inspectah Deck, Ol' Dirty Bastard, U-God, and Masta Killa.

Cappadonna appears on all the major Wu releases, and is a substitute Wu member on The W, but is not a full-time Wu clansman.

Ok, for all the new kids, how about a quick breakdown on the Wu albums from best to worst. Or something like that. I really need to pick some Wu up, but have a nasty habit of always picking up the worst album first.

If there isn't anything bad, then most easily accessable to least. Feel free to include solo's and sideprojects.
 
 
Matthew Fluxington
13:08 / 11.12.01
I will do this rather extensively later on today...I'm on my way out the door right now.

But the best one beyond a shadow of a doubt is the Wu-Tang Clan's first LP 36 Chambers (Enter The Wu-Tang). I believe this record to among the ten best records ever, regardless of genre.

The worst one is probably Raekwon's Immobilarity.

There is an excellent discography guide for the Wu-Tang in the recent issue of The Wire with Kid 606 on the cover, and I think you would find it helpful.
 
 
Regrettable Juvenilia
13:09 / 11.12.01
Well I reckon the best four, in no real order, are:

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) - Wu-Tang Clan
Liquid Swords - Genius/GZA
Only Built 4 Cuban Linx - Raekwon with Ghostface Killah
Supreme Clientele - Ghostface Killah

Incidentally, I've just heard 'Rules' off the new album... did Ghostface really just say "Mr Bush, sit down, I'm in charge of the war"? Brilliant.

I must be the only person who likes this record. 'Live From New York', '100 Rounds', 'The Table', 'Jury', 'Friday' - come on, these are great tracks! It's such a great winter album.

The worst is probably... I dunno, I haven't heard the U-God album, but I can't imagine that's much cop.
 
 
Matthew Fluxington
13:15 / 11.12.01
Actually the U-God LP is pretty good, it's got a lot of crap on it, but about four or five really great tunes.

I think you really might be the ONLY guy who likes Immobilarity.

Oh, and just cos I can, here is the talent hierarchy of the Wu-Tang as rappers (not production) in descending order and IMHO:

1. Ghostface Killah
2. Method Man
3. Genius/GZA
4. Raekwon
5. The RZA
6. Inspectah Deck
7. Ol' Dirty Bastard
8. U-God
9. Masta Killah

Well I stopped off at a place during lunch and picked up The W and Saul Williams' disk. Listening to Saul right now, and considering if I should ressurect the old thread, just to add my worship. I'll listen to The W tonight.

They didn't have 36 Chambers
 
 
Matthew Fluxington
16:49 / 11.12.01
If you are in Washington DC, I would suggest looking in any of the Olsson's stores (preferably the one in Dupont Circle), or in the Barnes & Noble off of Wisconsin Ave in Georgetown. I would suspect that DC CD in Adams Morgan would also carry it.

I know that when I lived there, I would occasionally buy The Wire at that Dupont Circle Olsson's....
 
 
Matthew Fluxington
17:47 / 11.12.01
You know, Flyboy...your Wu hierarchy is EXACTLY the same as mine. Amazing. I might consider Ol Dirty as a notch ahead of Deck, not because he's more skilled as an MC, but because Ol Dirty's persona and charisma is greater...

Anyway, here is my Wu Guide:

ESSENTIAL WU-TANG ALBUMS

Wu-Tang Clan Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers). As I said, this is the classic. I consider it the best hip hop LP ever. It is non-stop perfection... highlights:
"7th Chamber", "Can It Be All So Simple", "CREAM", "Shame On A Nigga", "METHOD Man".... I love this record so much that I don't even know what to say about it.

Ghostface Killah Supreme Clientele The big Wu "comeback" album...this record has a power and magesty to it that will just knock you out...it's like one long pimp strut of an album. Ghostface is at his best, his lyrics are like barrages of images and ideas, it seems like gibberish and nonsense, but it's not. It's just jampacked and nonlinear. He's the ultimate Wu MC, he embodies all of the best things about the Wu as lyricists... This record is just amazing, and relentless.. RZA, GZA, Method Man, Redman, Raekwon, U-God, etc all make great appearances too... highlights: "Child's Play" "Nutmeg" "Apollo Kids" "Buck 50" "The Grain"

GZA/The Genius Liquid Swords. This record is hardcore Wu, it's dark and grimey and melancholy, but with none of the sentimentality that Ghostface or Method Man are prone to... it sounds like it was recorded in black and white, and out of focus under poor lighting conditions. highlights: "Liquid Swords" "Swordsman" "Livin' In The World Today" "Labels" "Duel of the Iron Mic"

Ol' Dirty Bastard
Return To The 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version. ODB is like the hip hop Syd Barrett...a charismatic madman with a unique and inspired weirdness and gift for odd phrasing... This record is so much fun, but in a dirty weird sort of way...ODB has an ability to seem like a total loon, but also draw you into his insanity and soon you start to understand his internal logic. This record is fantastic from beginning to end, and there's not much of anything quite like it. highlights: "Shimmy Shimmy Ya" "Brooklyn Zoo" "Harlem World" "Don't U Know" "Damage"

Raekwon The Chef Only Built 4 Cuban Linx. This is an amazingly influential record...multiple MC aliases, hip hop posses as mafia, the obsession with cristal, etc...it all begins here. It's dense, it's dark, it only sometimes make sense... this is a great example of Wu lyrics feeling a bit like a half-filled in crossword puzzle, or a document with every few words blacked out... top notch. highlights: "Glaciers of Ice" "Ice Cream" "Heaven & Hell" "Incarcerated Scarfaces" "Criminology" "Wu Gambinos"

Wu-Tang Clan The W. The Wu return shortly after Supreme Clientele with the second part of a one-two punch.. this record has a strong melacholy vibe throughout (save for the single "Gravel Pit" which is a party tune)... it's very dub, it's half Memphis soul and half Kingston raggae... it's got a very spare sound to it, very fragile. On one track, you've got Ghostface nearly breaking down, mock crying while rhyming. Don't listen to this if you're in a good mood. Highlights: "I Can't Go To Sleep" "Careful (Click, Click)", "Hollow Bones" "The Jump Off", "Jah World" "Gravel Pit"

Method Man & Redman Blackout!
A friend of mine insists that this record sounds like 50's rock and roll to him, and I can see the analogy he's making in terms of vibe and feeling... this is fun, fun, fun album...the best party record affiliated with the Wu. Redman is the ultimate rhyme partner for Method Man...this record is not to be missed.... highlights: "How High?" "Checka" "1,2,1,2" "Mi Casa" "Big Dogs" "Da Rockwilder" "Cereal Killer"

Wu-Tang Clan Iron Flag Keeping it strong a year after The W, this album is probably still too new to me to make a good commentary about it other than that I think it is one of the best Wu releases to date, worthy of standing aside the previous records in the top echelon..

RECOMMENDED WU-TANG ALBUMS

Wu-Tang Clan Wu Tang Forever
This record could be one of the best Wu albums were it not soooooo looooong, and were there no filler tracks with no Wu members on them... The RZA does not produce the whole thing, and it's painfully obvious which ones he did and didn't do. The best tracks stand among the best and weirdest Wu tracks out there...the rest range from mediocre to painful to hear... highlights: "Reunited" "For Heaven's Sake" "Triumph" "It's Yourz" "Deadly Melody" "Cash Still Rules" "Dog Shit" "Duck Seazon" "A Better Tomorrow" "As High As Wu-Tang Get"

The RZA
Ghost Dog soundtrack (Japanese version)
This may be hard to come by, but it's worth it: mostly RZA's instrumental score for the film, there's just a lot of really interesting stuff here...from RZA's takes on different music genres ("Free Jazz", "Funk") to some vocal tracks not available in the US ("Wu World Order").

Method Man Tical 2000 : Judgement Day Another fun record from Meth, but has waaaaaaaaaay too much filler and skits for its own good. This record could be trimmed down to a 12 song LP and be one of the strongest Wu records ever, but as it is, it's diluted and in the middle of the pack. Highlights: "Torture" "Cradle Rock" "Retro Godfather" "Spazzola" "Elements" "Makeups 2 Break Ups"

Ghostface Killah Ironman
Another great album from the 95/96 period...it is a bit like a lesser version of Cuban Linx, but certainly holds its own. This records is at its best when it's sentimental, notably "All I've Got Is You", which is a box-of-tissues worthy tearjerker. Other highlights: "Camay" "Daytona" "260" "Wildflower" "Marvel"

Ghostface Killah Bulletproof Wallets Another solid LP from Ghostface, who is certainly the Wu MC least likely to release a weak record... If this record came after Ironman, I'd be more impressed, but after Supreme Clientele, this is a drop off, and is uneven and less remarkable by comparison. Still, some very solid songs...highlights: "Strawberries" "Theodore" "Maxine" "Street Chemistry"

MIDDLING OR VERY UNEVEN WU ALBUMS

RZA RZA As Bobby Digital In Stereo
This record defines uneven...some of the finest and most interesting Wu tracks ever appear here, but get lost among some very uninspired tracks and skits... too long for its own good, certainly. Still, very worthwhile for the brilliant "NYC Everything" "Kiss of the Black Widow" "HOLOCAUST" "BOBBY" "My Lovin' Is Digi" and "Bobby Did It"

Method Man Tical. Some people really love this LP, but I think it's fairly dull (which is an odd adjective for Method Man, trust me) and a bit too murky. Some great songs here, though: "Release Yo Delf" "Meth Vs. Chef" "Stimulation" and "All I Need" (though the remix by Puffy with Mary J Blige is a lot better)

RZA Ghost Dog soundtrack US version Mostly a collection of tracks by Wu affiliates and proteges, this record has its ups and downs, but the Masta Killa solo tune "The Man" and RZA's tune with Kool G Rap "Cakes" are top notch. The Wu Tang Clan song ("Fast Shadow") here is pretty average, but does have a good verse by Ol Dirty.

Ol Dirty Bastard
Nigga Please Now, I know some folks really love this LP, but I think it's fairly throwaway... it's an amusing novelty, but not that much more. Highlights: "Got Your Money" "I Want Pussy" "Good Morning Heartache" "All In Together Now".
The Neptunes are generally quite good, but I think they aren't a good match for ODB...

U-God Golden Arms Redemption
Surprisingly good LP by one of the Wu underdog MCs...the LP isn't really much to write home about, but it is solid, which counts for a lot...highlights: "Bizarre" "Rumble" "Glide" "Shell Shock"

GZA/The Genius Beneath The Surface this record comes very close to being in the 'not recommended' category, but some decent tunes ("Crash Your Crew" "Beneath The Surface" "Breaker Breaker" "Swordplay") salvage an otherwise depressingly bad album.

NOT RECOMMENDED

Inspectah Deck Uncontrolled Substance I still have not recovered from the disappointment of this album. You'd think "wow, Deck rules. His solo LP will be great!" but no, that's not true. It's just so boring and weak. "Movas and Shakas" is an excellent tune, but that is IT. Sigh.

Raekwon Immobilarity
RZA Digital Bullet

I quite simply have nothing nice to say about these two records, so I will say nothing at all.
 
 
Regrettable Juvenilia
18:00 / 11.12.01
Wow. I pretty much agree with all of that. Except for the stuff I haven't heard, and that I like Immobilarity. Maybe you could adapt that into something to submit for the zine, Flux?

I love that bit about Blackout! sounding like 50s rock'n'roll. The title track always makes me think of stuff like 'Wipeout' - and I guess it's supposed to...

Ghostface is just the greatest. You know, I think Supreme Clientele might just be my favourite Wu record of all, if I had to choose just one. Did anyone in the UK see the photos of him in the NME with the huge gold eagle thing on his arm? No-one else could get away with that...

Yeah: Ghostface may be the most beautiful human being ever to walk the Earth.

It's true, there is no Cappadonna on Iron Flag. Which pleases me, because while the guy doesn't really bother me or anything, he really brings nothing to the table, he's a very average and uninteresting MC. Note that I did not include any of his three LPs in my discography overview...

I'll clean up the Wu overview, add a bit to it, and we'll see if Tom wants to run it.

I'd really love to do a similar overview for Guided By Voices, and maybe work up a 'don't be scared of free jazz' thing too...

I'd be interested to see if we could work up a 'psychedelic rock essentials' article stemming from that thread too...
 
 
Regrettable Juvenilia

quote:Originally posted by expressionless:

People who like him always go on about the really longer verse he did on a track on Ironman - 'Winter Warz', I think it's called. It's the verse that includes "disappear from here, my year, drop the stupid LPs everywhere" and it is indeed very very good, as is his contribution to that album in general. But not much else he's done is... although I seem to recall his verse on 'Triumph' being quite good.

That has to be one of the most detailed reviews i've seen on a forum.

All I can say is got the album a few days ago and have been listening to it since.
Its pretty good, not sure what I would say best track is at the moment, but like track 3
 
 
rizla mission
12:55 / 12.12.01
you know, um, <cringes> despite being a relative beginner I might have to differ on one or two things that everyone else has agreed on..

I picked up 'Only Built 4 Cuban Linx' a few months ago and, well, I just don't really get what's so good about it.. the beats are pretty cool, but then they almost always are on Wu-Tang records, but Raekwon and Ghostface just completely fail to get me interested in all the stuff they're rhyming about - to me they just seem dull and self-indulgent whereas GZA and MethodMan's stuff is more vital and condensed and imaginative.

I've got a feeling I'm missing the point..

But anyway, I like Liquid Swords A LOT. What sounds like it?

Matthew Fluxington

For a long time, I was confused as to why everyone loved Cuban Linx so much, I was a bit put off by the record, and the hype around it just mystified me. But then, at some point, I just started listening to it, and it clicked with me... See, you're saying it's less imaginative, but I would go so far to say that it is the MOST imaginative Wu album, it's the one that creates an entire fantasy world and vocabulary which is entirely selfcontained. I mentioned 'internal logic' when I was writing about Ol Dirty Bastard, and that applies here too... the record is like an elaborate puzzle, and it does take some time to get into it... I'd recommend giving it another shot, and giving it a close listen. For me, it sounds better every time I hear it.

Matthew Fluxington
13:36 / 12.12.01
Now, this isn't a free jazz record in the strictest sense, it's usually considered more of an electronic fusion record, but I've been completely obsessed with Sextant by Herbie Hancock... I'm just baffled why this record is generally ignored (of course, traditional jazzheads tend to have issues with Herbie to begin with, and this is least funky record, so that alienates everyone else), it's just unbelievable. It's like electric Miles Davis times 20, or a more organic live version of Squarepusher's jazzy records, like Music Is Rotted One Note... It sounds like music from the future, and it was recorded in 1974. Check it out, it's usually on mid-price...
