I stopped there too. Liked Ghostface's last album for the most part though, but it wasn't all that. It's just Wu-Massacre was supposed to be amazing, those trailers and everything man. :'(

Limp swords 2 lmao
Its been a pretty strong year. I dont think Madlib fits into my top 10. I do love Madlib, but I find his beats to be very by the numbers for him lately.
Thuggin is good, but not top 10 for me.
Strong SOTY contenders:
Roc - 76
Guilty - Reputation
El-p - Drones
COTN - Subway series

That was a travesty. When was the last time an album cover was big news, outside of Kanye? The trailers...the promo posters...and then we got that "for the ladies" song/video. How do you spend MONTHS hyping a grimy throwback album, then come out the gate with a weak radio single? Still, I figured "aite it's just a single, this will still be good..."
Nope. That shit doesn't even sound like it was mastered, multiple songs were old/recycled, verses were emailed, etc. Production was mixtape quality, and the "skits" were stupid as fuck. Oh well, at least it gave us another classic Ghostface song (Pimpin' Chipp).
Domino Kid is right. These ninjas just pocket label money, throw out some cheap bullshit on the album, then complain that their careers aren't going anywhere.

8 Diagrams started so well too...

That's vintage Wu shit, with the more modern RZA nods (live instrumentation). After that the album slowly gets worse. It's not a "bad" album..just very meh. Production doesn't really match the crew, no wonder they don't fuck with RZA and vice versa

I love Madlib but no. He still releases high quality stuff but has already passed his prime. Madvillainy era Madlib was god-tier.

Dope, the vocals of wiz could use work but besides that really dope

keep your strippers out of my American football
Fire. Hot Fire.
The piano melody doesn't fit to me. It's distracting. I like everything else though.
Okay I have an idea for a cool feature in the OP, I'd like for a bunch of you to list your top ten albums...The albums that you personally love, not the albums that you'd list on a hip-hop quiz and then I'm going to put them all in the OP under your name with a link to your single post. I want to keep things nice and tidy.

holy shit
I got you by the end of the year.
You got Adam Levine for a hook and it ends up being THAT bad? How do you fuck up an Adam Levine feature?
Big Boi actually wants me to check out his album this time around, huh.
This is a great idea, nice way for ppl to post stuff that wont make our top 10s but still is good music.
Taylor Allerdice straight to the top!
And Ezno...wtf, the first album was sick. There are songs like this one on it, in fact this track samples his vocals from the first album
Enzo rule slowly turning to Toku rule
Yeah, Shutterbug. Only one of the few singles I liked that he put out, since a lot leaked at the same time last time. I'll still check the album out, but he's bringing more heat this time.
Did you not listen to the album?
Game talks Kanye beating him in a rap battle, Kanye moments.
Gonna check it out soon is what I'm saying. Probably before Vicious Lies.
Nah the singles outside of Shutterbug scared me away.

Damn. 10 albums?
You really should. It was such a good album. Prob my fav after MBDTF, and it came damn close.

JZA?? eh..... No.
8 Diagrams aint bad. Go and relisten to that shit. Its not the clan album we wanted but its not fucking terrible neither.
Ghost the GOAT. His last album was dope. Fuck opinions the shit was great. Black Tequila, Purified Thoughts, Starkology... Some bangers on that shit.
DominoKid having an opinion on Wu Tang is more irrelevant than Shynes life.

Future looks small in that gif compared to that couch. It gives me The Big Comfy Couch vibes.

It's a really really great album. I love just about every song on there, I believe there's only one song on there that I think is just okay/good
