As 2010 came to a close Raekwon announced that his anticipated Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang will drop on March 8. According to Vibe, that isn’t all that Rae has in store for fans in 2011. The untitled album is said to be “DJ-oriented” and “harmony-based” and will feature production from Just Blaze and Kanye West. The album, which is already half complete, is tentatively slated for an October release.
In July Rae revealed the guests for the album. “Method Man, Ghostface, Inspectah Deck, and GZA all appear on the album,” said Rae. “At the same time I got some other guys involved like [The Roots’] Black Thought—I love his talent. I think that when it comes to him delivering what level I wanted to go he was the perfect man. I also have Raheem DeVaughn who sounds like Curtis Mayfield over a Shaolin track.”
The Chef also said via Twitter that Rick Ross and Jim Jones would appear on the album.
2011 could prove to be another banner year for the Wu. In addition to Rae’s plans, Ghostface is gearing to release an album with Sheek Louch as well as Supreme Clientele 2. Masta Killa’s delayed Loyalty Is Royalty should also see the light of day.
And not to forget Liquid Swords 2: The Return of the Shadowboxer.
Gonna be a good year!
take off the cop and jenny jones and it’s love
Try releasing 1 quality album before you start talking shit about 2 albums, ghost album was fire though… slept on bigtime
Cuban Linx 2 was shit?
Go listen to Drake, faggot.
cuban linx 2 was better than half the artists out right now entire careers haha
Rae has probably the biggest hip hop album in the last 6 years in terms of keeping that spirit alive
Why has there been no update on liquid swords 2?
Fuck Jim Jones, not copping it if that clown is featured.

I was just a WU concert on Sunday. They did a lot of songs together, then their own individual sets. When Rae did his set he was singin’ and shit. The other Clan members were lookin’ at this nigga like “Yo, you’re buggin’ son”. I hope that ‘harmony based’ album ain’t gonna be this nigga singin’.
thats hilarious man. i saw them live the week before christmas and he was on the same tip. singing an goofin out vocally and shit. not to mention hearing u god laugh is hilarious.
Hip-Hop is back and in full effect now…the Wu, Pharoah, Pete Rock, Premier, DD172, Slaughterhouse, just to mention a few(of course there is more to name but only so much space)….2011 is the renaissance year for hip-hop!!!…now its time to get at these wack-ass radio programmers and demand real ish be played!!!!
go for it boss thug. obfcl2 was boss thuggish.
sorry but fuck that…Raekwon needs to do a full length album with Pete Rock from beginning to end…They both have a great powerful chemistry together that they’ve shared over the years and that shit is like way overdue…
If you really believe this will happen I feel sorry for you…
We’ll see. Embarrasing if you’re wrong.
Ghost came with his harmony based album..that shit was a monster!!!
that album was actually very unenjoyable
Its official….. 2011 is gonna be the best year of hip hop of the 21st century. Lasers nd Detox alone are going to last us a whole year. But we got 2 Raekwon albums, Super Cliente 2 is gonna be amazing, wu-block is also gonna be fire, Cole World, Finally Famous Album, Kid With Green Backpack, Southern Central State of Mind are all gonna put out a revolutionary freshman class, outkast is gonna drop something, andre 3k nd big boi are also putting out solo albums which are gonna be incredible, kanye & jay-z enough said, and like 20 more classics.
Didnt he already make that promise last year and not deliver one? i doubt that second untitled album is comin out in ’11.
