or this

I like Forever too (not better than 36 Chambers, sorry) but you have a point...if they had pared it down to one single album and got rid of the filler then it *would* have been on the level of 36 Chambers I think

I remember around that time it was the hip thing to do to release a double album- there was the Wu-Tang, the Biggie one, 2Pac, Bone Thugs N Harmony....and not a damn one of them should have been a double album. Except maybe All Eyez On Me....

Are there any solo Method Man albums anyone would recommend?

listening to the "Brown" version of 12 Reasons to Die, whole album remixed by Apollo Brown

its really good so far...the beat on Blood on the Cobblestones is sick. even makes U-God sound tolerable

It's like, wow, I kept trying to pull people together. I spent a lot of money and a lot of time this year. I put my movie career on hold for the first half of the year because I was focusing on making this. I went down to Memphis, I went down to Philadelphia, I came back to the East Coast to reopen the Wu Mansion [RZA's old house in New Jersey, where a bulk of post–36 Chambers material was recorded]. I invested thousands of dollars to rebuild it so that we can have a place to record a new album. And when I scheduled that to happen, only a few good brothers showed up.

And one of the guys who showed up the most was Method Man. He showed the most tenacity, he was the most vocal, he showed up the most, and he got the most lyrics on the new album. He's already recorded eight or nine songs. He’s been on it. You know, I give Cappadonna credit, he’s been really on it. U-God has been present. Masta Killa be representing. Inspectah Deck has been somewhat present. Ghost has been, you know, 20 percent present. And Raekwon hasn't shown up at all. When you look at somebody like Masta Killa and U-God, they seem to have that original hunger to complete the legacy. I respect that everybody [is] busy with they own lives. I started with a plan that I thought would work. Now maybe my plan not working.

Later, he added, "I feel like we have enough material on the album. I just need Raekwon to come onboard fully. I need some more energy from Ghost and GZA. If they give that energy, I will give us a great last album. If they don't give us the energy, I gotta figure out a plan B."

To which Raekwon said, via Twitter: "Yea i just read that rza article? Shit is funny to me. I love u rza, u know what it really is."

here you go....

i like it, production is nice and clean even though the chorus is a bit hokey
GZA sounds weird, like the pitch of his voice is shifted or something

I just hope that Rae and Ghost are on more than like one or two songs. 8 Diagrams was way too Ugod Cappa MK INS heavy


We'll see

No doubt. These bastards need a much heavier dose of Rae and Ghost. I am done with Ugod Cappa's nonsense.
