Well.........I really dig the music tracks but I can do without the "radio voices" and the rapping voice! The music is nice though as is the rhythm.

But what do I know! I still listen to live recordings of the Grateful Dead and I also am into jazz.

messiah, sorry dude......

But what can I say. I'm lost in hard rock, jazz, fusion, and even Harry Belafonte.

Oh and Image
The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, and prejudices to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill and suspicion can destroy and a thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all of its own for the children and the children yet unborn and the pity of it is that these things cannot be confined to the Twilight Zone.

Lyrically you dont find this track strong?
I must agree that the lyrics have a strong hook.
As you know, I do play some guitar... I typically play blues and BeBop.

My listening interest in music are varied. I love punk and ska... But also love classical, metal, cool jazz, big band, world (rai, reggae etc) and folk.

shant,

Here try this song, this is one I like with those "Radio Voices" that works out real well in a song:

Poe - "Hey Pretty (Drive By Mix)" it has to be the Drive By Mix, otherwise it's just the original song

Cool deal. I appreciate the feebback once again.

I have one more I would like feedback on if possible:

Reunited This is classic Wu-Tang. The metaphors, and lyrical composition on this is one of the best of Wu. Not too many people feel this track, but let me know what you think.


David,

I also listen to a wide variety of music, I can even stomach some NSync (not that I jam to it however)

I prefer techno, Industrial, and trip-hop. However in the Rap genre: I think WU ownz it. :)

Anyway:

The feedback does help, as I am going to consider your feedback in a project im working on.

I dont wanna make something super cool, that people will be distracted from becuase of hip-hop. y'know?

So what do you think about Reunited?

Perhaps that is part of their reality.

I wish people would get over the "foulness" of cursing. I know your position on freedom of speech, so thats cool. However WU doesnt glamorize the socially corrupt elements that most rap does. If anything they are story tellers.

Wu Tang Clan rulez! Reunited is a good song, however, as u may know, I only really started to like Wu Tang few weeks ago when I downloaded 'Gravel Pit'. For some reason, I never got into Wu Tang, but when I dled that song, I just started to appreciate their music, and have been downloading a lot of their songs, and prolly will song buy their CDs...
'Cash Still Rulez' is a great song too :)
Rap is great music to listen to....


This track is tight man (Above the Clouds), I've heard it before, but never knew what it was called so I never got a chance to dl it. Thx Messiah :)

Hey messiah good tracks you got there.
Above the clouds has that WU-bred feel to is...the beat is good and the lyrics go together good.
Its kind of slow moving though.
For me to be in a mood to listen to slower rap I usually have to be st*ned to get the full effect of it.
As for the second track you listed... I like the techno remix better!!!
I'm sure you've heard it, although I can't remember the name of the LP that had it.

Good deal!

Okay, I'm making a film, and was uncertain about which of the two tracks I was going to use. I have decided to use the RZA excerpt from "Triumph" with a chorus provided by Old Dirty Bastard (another Wu member for those that didn't know)

I appreciate the feedback. I'm going to try to use both songs, maybe at the end credits.

Fanta,

Dude- I cant recall the techno mix. I do have the german version of Wu-tang Forever" that does have some techno tracks on it. I'm going to check it out.

btw, click on your name to go to www.thedsc.com They have some hardcore Wu-Bangers there, and they leak alot of wild stuff. I believe tru-masta and mathamatics go there as well. Alot of 5 percenters.

For those that do not know what 5 percenters are- well.


Thanks for your feedback guys. :)

I've been jamming to this track for along time now, and thought I would post the track to see if anyone else is feeling this track.

Above the Clouds

Listen to the lyrics.

Any feedback will "assist" me. I've posted tracks in the past that I never got any comments on, and it really doesnt help when Im trying to analyze you peeps.
