8 Diagrams and the Return of the RZA-Rector
Solid album. I got my leak today and I'm all about it: RZA's beats are on point and the lyrics flow nice. Very early NYC sounding, not exactly gritty, but much more Jeru/Pete Rock style I'd say. I love this kind of stuff: it's real hip-hop and it's a return to form for RZA, at least. I heard a lot of complaining coming from within the Wu ranks, most of them running along the lines of "RZA likes guitars too much." My only response to that is: suck it haters, RZA won, you lost. This album will get critical acclaim--even with that dumb cover.
So RZA's good, but as far as the group goes, well, there will never be another 36 Chambers; never another Wu-Tang Forever.
You can cop a leak here if you've got a torrent client and stuff. Great album.
