Should've been "9"..

:wavesad:

Anyway, Wu's first album, as a group since 2001, The 8 Diagrams, is coming out Dec. 4.. Personally, I can fucking wait..

Also, get Afro Samurai..

The song playing on that site is super tight..

Track 2. Watch Your Mouth..

Just an FYI..

I'll always be hyped about new Wu-Tang.

WTF guys??

A f'n Slipnot thread gets to two pages and the new Wu album thread gets one post??

Something is wrong with you guys..

Wu-Tang was some of the first rap I ever listened to back when I was just getting into high school, lookin forward to this definitely, Cuban Linx II is out soon too I think...

And yeah, its gonna be weird without the OD:(

The movie or the soundtrack?

Not seen the film but I've got the soundtrack downloaded just not listened to it all yet

Sweet.

I think I'd actually take a new Slipknot album. :nono:

Oh no he didn't:|

Wu-Tang > Lost


Strange comparison yes, but a valid one I feel

lol yeah wu-tang is not at all greater than lost, artistically, or flat-out realistically. If this thread does not reflect such a notion, then maybe when you realise their shit is basically all the same you will.

Onyx are way better anyway.

Like I said it was a ridiculous comparison not meant to be taken seriously but ok:

Off the top of my head The Wire, The Sopranos and Six Feet Under are absolutely leagues ahead of Lost in almost every way I can think which makes a tv drama good, dialogue, storytelling, artistic vision, casting, hell if you wanna add a bit of the sensational so are The Shield, Oz and 24.


I can't do the same for Wu-Tang, obviously they have contemporaries and other groups and artists have been just as acclaimed and influential, but I've never seen or heard anything trashy or pulpy about their music and never heard a group I thought was out and out superior to them.


Meh, opinion I guess, but I think you're putting them down to be different, not because you actually think they're artistically lacking.

I love how Jon Kano and Kane Knight are experts on everything..

..including grimey NY Hip Hop..

Also how the hell is all their stuff the same? How the fuck is Enter the Wu the same as Wu-Tang Forever? Lyrically for a start they are entirely different, not to mention the production is less raw on ETW, and the fact that Masta Killa is yknow, actually on it for more than 30 seconds.

And for that matter, how is The W the same as Iron Flag?

stfu

I am entitled to my opinion fuck nut. And mine is that all their shit pretty much sounds the same, or what I have heard, warrents no further interest or listening due to the lack of good qualities and traits I can identify with.

Oh, and by the way, I doubt when you talk about good writing, dialogue etc with regards to film and tv, that your knowledge or grasp is as superiror to mine, nor I when it comes against what you know with Wu-Tang lol, so its all down to opinion mixed with what you know.

All I know is Lost could be wrapped up with every nagging question answered in 2 episodes, its essentially a science fiction soap, the writers can do what they want, when they want without having to justify any of it until they see fit (ie when viewers stop watching and they decide to pull the plug), well, apart from it being some magical island and a few other 'clues' ofcourse. These clues generally being mere additions to a plotline going nowhere, actual clues would afterall require the story to be leading somewhere. Its a very watchable show, but not exactly cream of the crop.

And I honestly don't know what you're looking for in rap that you're not getting from Wu-Tang, unless you're into Crunk ofcourse, yknow, the rap equivalent of Lost

Actually I just realised I misread your post so disregard the crunk insult:D

Kano, you can hide behind your opinion all day long. Doesn't change the fact that Wu-Tang's shit does not all sound the same. Forming an opinion based on next to no knowledge of something doesn't mean that is has to be respected or even acknowledged.

Yeah I agree, but you're being a dick when you simply dismiss what I know. I know ct2k didn't study film or does much to do with tv etc, but then he does know his Wu-Tang. You don't know how much I have listened to, or know of Wu-Tang, so without knowing what I know, just because its opposite to what you think, you assume I know nothing. Thats where your flaw really lies.

How much have you listened to? I'm betting it's next to nothing. But please tell me that I'm wrong and then bring up something irrelevant like ct2k's knowledge of television which has nothing at all to do with the fact that you know nothing about Wu-Tang.

See, how do you know that? seriously, its a possibility since yeah I might not, but you don't know anything about me really. And to simply assume I know nothing, JUST BECAUSE you don't like my opinion....lol....I can't really get into it because its just such a stupid situation really.

Thing is, I do know a fair bit, listened to them for a long time, over different periods of my life and fact is, thats the truth.

I doubt I am the only Wu-Tang listener/fan to think they sound the same anyway, so whats the real problem? why are you throwing your toys out of the pram?

Are you saying all their albums sound the same or each MC sounds the same cause either way, you are wrong..

Nah dude, it's his opinion. You have no idea.

Hey guys lets compare hamburgers to Pulp Fiction!!

Hey come on, Kano goaded me into it:roll:

Besides I was comparing them to eachother specifically so much as comparing the positions Wu-Tang's music and Abram's series hold within their artistic fields

It's ridiculous regaurdless..

I mean, music is subjective.. As are TV/movies.. The entire argument is based on opiniun then you throw in the fact that you are in essence comparing apples to oranges, it makes the entire argument retarded..

Almost everything people argue about is subjective. Kano decided a musical group who have been widely critically acclaimed made generic music and that a television show which has not been widely critically acclaimed nor particularly influential is some kind of televisual bible. I questioned why he was so dismissive of one and so adulating of the other and threw in a little of my opinion on the two for good measure.

Get over it

You are arguing with Kano and you tell me to "get over it"..

LOL

Don't tase me bro

LOL I had to go through like 9 pages of Fallen Angel's "Rate The" threads to find this..

Finally got this shit.. I'm liking it better than both Iron Flag and The W.. Got teary eyed when I first listened to the ODB track..

Awesome albums though..

:love:

i still haven't listened to it yet. getting right on that.

RZA beats are grimey as fuck..

This fucking CD has been the balls since day 1. Definitely a new flavor of Wu, I'm ashamed it took you this long to listen to it.

Yeah well, I'm about to move back to Louisiana so haven't had alot of extra money for cd's and shit..

:(

p.s. I did get that oldskool yellow W shirt though..

:heart:

YES. I saw one somewhere where it was the gold W pattern, and it was like a bunch of killer bees forming the W. Let me find it.
