The second half of the album is much stronger
>C.R.E.A.M.
>Method Man
>Tearz
>Protect Ya Neck
>7th Chamber Part II
can't we just be honest with ourselves and accept that this album is loaded loaded and basically has no weaknesses
I'm used to the vinyl version that has protect ya neck on the a side so no
This
nigga just cause you prefer the 2nd half doesnt mean the 1st half was weak.
this. OP was a fucking retard today. what is new.
This is the dumbest OP I've seen in a while
Yup
I'm just amazed that a board infested with zoomers and soibois has even heard of Wu Tang Clan.
I never said it was weak. I just said the second half was stronger.
That's a lot of assumptions in one post.
Fuck frogs, it's 100 per cent great but also 100 per cent back loaded, especially beat wise
Any topic about Hip Hop from before like 2012 gets 3 replies at best.
implying wu tang isnt peak soi.
That's your proof? Okay then, didn't know I was dealing with a legit mongoloid.
Thats just because hip hop doesnt age well. Its a very in the moment art form. Much like stand up comedy.
Nobody goes back and listens to old rap albums just for musical pleasure.
Not in the way that other genres hold up anyway. People still listen to 70s rock daily. There are very few rap albums from the 80s or even 90s that people still listen too just because its good music.
Ehhh... If shit sounds good I'll listen to it. Not sure what the fuck you're talking about. If you're talking extremely political rap that's just all about the raps, Okay sure. But hiphop is a lot more than just angry rapping. Loads of 80s and 90s hiphop just sounds good.
>Loads of 80s and 90s hiphop just sounds good.
No it doesnt though, not in comparison to other genres.
They try to have those classic hip hop radio stations like they have classic rock stations. The classic hip hop ones always fail while classic rock suceeds.
Rap is a very "right now" genre, it ages fast.
Stand up comedy is like that, old stand up is shit because just like hip hop, it relies on the audience being aware of the current social climate.
>Nobody goes back and listens to old rap albums just for musical pleasure.
Speak for yourself, old school Hip Hop shits on the current crop of artists from a great height. Post Malone, Travis Scott and those Gucci Gang gimps vs. Nas, Wu Tang and N.W.A.? Absolutely no contest.
Im speaking for the entire world and society. Old rap is shitty and the world agrees, its not in high demand. Doesnt get a lot of listens anywhere. Its just not good. Its basically a documentation of poor black people slang but musically it doesnt have legs.
Any knowledgable Hip Hop fan and not some bandwagon jumping millennial who only namechecks Hip Hop artist to look woke and listened to Ed Sheeran and Mumford and Sons two years ago, will tell you that the likes of Illmatic, 36 Chambers, Straight Outta Compton, The Chronic, The Low End Theory, It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back and Paid In Full are some of the greatest albums ever.
>its not in high demand. Doesnt get a lot of listens anywhere.
I genuinely laughed. Tell me, if there's no demand for old Hip Hop, then how much did Straight Outta Compton gross, a movie about one of the most influential Hip Hop artists from the 80s.
>will tell you that the likes of Illmatic, 36 Chambers, Straight Outta Compton, The Chronic, The Low End Theory, It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back and Paid In Full are some of the greatest albums ever.
you can pretend all day that normies are still going back and actually listening to any of these albums in any meaningful way but everybody would know you are lying. The closest that shit gets to play are old school spotify mixes. Which still dont get much play.
Half the people that praise illmatic just do it to try to show they are deep about music but couldnt name a single song title from that album.
>I genuinely laughed. Tell me, if there's no demand for old Hip Hop, then how much did Straight Outta Compton gross, a movie about one of the most influential Hip Hop artists from the 80s.
the soundtrack didnt do shit.
Meanwhile a trash ass freddie mercury movie brought bohemian rhapsody back to the top 10 billboard charts. A song that literally everyone on earth has heard a millions times already.
I like this album a lot, but I don't like Wu-Tang Clan's "flow" too much. I don't understand everything they say since I'm not a fluent english speaker. What makes them so good in that matter? It's the same thing to me with Snoop. I like him a lot, but it doesn't sound like he has too much "metric" (not sure if its the right word to use here). I'd like to understand rap a little better. I think Tupac is amazing, but I've heard some people say he isn't really that good.
So, do you guys have any idea of why I'd find it hard to understand why Wu-Tang Clan's rhymes are that good?
