Raekwon on some Ski beatz and madlib would be dope…
Fuck Yeah.
^
That’s what your bitch said when I told her to suck my dick.
As for Raekwon, name that next LP something else. His catalog will begin to sound like Lil Wayne’s (Carter XIV coming in 2019 no doubt)
You would know huh as for advice for Raekwon. catalog -> Lil wayne.
I dont understand for the life of me why established artist put out mixtapes. Especially artist who have made classics at this point what does he have to prove? I guess he could have the argument that the label doesnt want him to put out certain things and with this he has more freedom but wrong because he’s signed to ice water his own label. When I see or hear shit like this its like asking Rakim or big Daddy Kane to freestyle over a mobbdeep beat,,complete blasphemy. Ive never bought a mixtape and never will im absolutely not interested i would rather buy and support a album. if you cut 100 songs and you pick the best 15 for the album i dont want to hear 85 mediorce songs from my favorite emcee even if its free. thats the problem with hiphop the market is saturated with bullshit.
Mixtapes are almost always better than albums and they are free so I don’t understand your comment.
u dont know what a mixtape is
dude, a mixtape is FREE MUSIC! What’s to complain about?
LOL at this dumb ass bitch…
Man what the f are you speaking? Seriously. A mixtape is FREE MUSIC for one. Two, I can see if Raekwon dropped some bull to the masses but his mixtapes are harder than a lot of niggas’ ALBUMS!!! Three… IT’S ALL BRAND NEW MUSIC THAT MAYBE DIDN’T MAKE THE CUT FOR HIS ALBUMS!!! Once again, he’s basically giving your dumb ass a look into what potency the LP will be just based off how fire the mixtape is.
Fitting you said your name is k-ci. The comment you left seems as your under the influence of dope, dog food, and sheer stupidity.
It’s not about proving ish. It’s about supplying the world with quality potency (hopefully) just off the love and/or marketing. Staying relevant, you dumb bastard.
And all mixtapes aren’t good either. But damn. What are you talking about?
Stupid is forever but ignornace can be fixed.
I dont want free watered down music thats the whole point .yall niggaz is the reason hip hop is in the state thats its in, because rappers have to cater to broke ass herbs who only want to listen to freestyles,free mixtapes and download albums for free. if you say the mixtape will be better than the album then i say release the mixtape as your album.im choosing quality over quanity
nigga u suck fuck your opinion im better off without your dick in the booty ass nigga ass anyway
I Kinda agree with K ci.
Yeah Free music is always nice, but thats just making it harder for Rae to put out another more original album after this. People will be like “its to much like his mixtape”. Not saying its bad but i can see your point K-ci. HipHop gets over saturated with this shit.
Look at J cole. Warm up and FNL were dope as fuck. His album was good, but i dont think as good. He’s kinda recycling his ideas on his mixtape on some shit.
Mixtapes are how people stay relevant, genius. You talk about Rakim or Big daddy kane, but truth be told, their so far buried underground when ever they really music it goes by relatively unnoticed by the masses…
K-Ci def. has a good point
50 cent is the one who made this mixtape shit popular. but still mixtape is not an official album dont like it then dont listen! better wait for an official album
I’ll take a mix tape nigga over a pop dued any day of the week. It’s hard to get your foot in the game if you don’t sound like some ol generic bullshit.
Mixtapes only mean your in control of your art.
PLEASE don’t rush OB4CL3…PLEASE
agreed.
OB4CL2 came like 10 years after and is was str8 fire IMO THAT SHIT WAS BETTER THAN THE FIRST TOO.
no way obfcl 2 was better than 1!! obfcl 2 was dope as fug but it doesn’t touch the 1st..
2 was a classic and def one of the best Wu solos but no way it was better than 1
2 better than 1? Nigga please.
Completely agree. 3 should come out like another five years from now.
AYO YA YOUNG NIGGAS RESPECT THA GOD YOUNAHWHAYIAMSAYING B? RESPECT THE GODZ
gods dont sell crack to they owns people fuk outta here
Psalm 82:6-“I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.”
Now, what’s YOUR interpretation of a god? Best thing to do is keep your belief to yourself, I don’t think you’re ready for any type of debate on this.
And also, I thought rap was only entertainment and rappers lie, why do we believe that Wu sold crack to their own?
“…Ye are gods…”
Kanye West = Illuminati !!!!!!!!
PROOF!!!!!
haha
Raekwon ALC joint is needed for the world to list(en).
That is all.
Raekwon watered down his product when he started releasing constant shit after OB4CL2 instead of just waiting to only put out the really really good shit
REALY HE WATERED DOWN HIS MUSIC? CHECK OUT HIS NEW MIXTAPE…
dumb ass
100% TROOF
100 Percent Truth– Rae earned goodwill after the 8 Diagrams fiasco with OB4CL2 and has squandered nearly all of it.
Wu Tang 4 Life!
Please Wu brothers get on that vorm like Voltron shit, the Hip HOp world needs that!!
i thought he was going to call it “big dope on the table”, but “unexpected victory” is dope too
The world cup yo
mothafuckin WUTANG.the eastcoast’s answer to the westcoast’s, NWA , “gangsta rap”…they changed hiphop from sounding like Big daddy kane to sounding like Big,Nas,Jayz..etc.BUY THIS ALBUM!
cant wait for this project to drop.
wu tang is made in canada
This shit is gonna be so ill
Washed up fat fuck– OB4CL2 was dope but Wu Massacre, Shaolin V. Wu Tang and whatever other bullshit where dudes weren’t even in the studio together has all been GARBAGE.
Step your game up, Corey, and stop promising shit you can’t deliver.
don’t faggots like you always sign your messages with ymcmb ovoxo 4 life? stfu cocksucker.
all 3 wu memebrs on the massacre say it was rushed and not a very good project..as for shaolin and wu-tang that was on point..Some music just takes a good ear to understand the truth
Joe Denino obviously had some good dick before he typed that nonsense.
Raekwon made ob4cl 2 and is definately one of the best albums of 2000 – 2011.
And a strong comeback of Raekwon and good for the underground rap game.
Shaolin vs wutang isnt bad either (for the wu fans) , wu massacre is more of a compilation still not bad either.
But you probably dont appriciate and know shit! Moron
shaolin vs wu tang wasnt as good as ob4cl2 but still fire, and yes all 3 members on wu-massacre said that they werent satisfied and the label forced them to release it quickly
Shit my man Rae got the F.A Cup & the World Cup fuck my players can’t even get em hahahahaha
Fire
Always gotta make it legendary. This is why Raekwon is one of the best ever and Wu Tang is forever.
Chef!
There’s nothing unexpected about Raekwon’s victory.
expecting greatness with this one.
Yes.
Great!
This article fails to mention that YMCMB is the future of hip hop.
you retarded my dude
no
Raekwon is the BEAST of HIP HOP!
raw flow, dope lyrics, banging beat, strong gangster shit!
The top 10 singles of this site are created by bubble head rappers.
cannot wait
Kinda surprised to see no Wu members on here, but Rae always brings that flavor to the table regardless. Definitely DLing this tomorrow.
Very first thing I noticed.
How many features do you need lol..
Its called giving somebody an opportunity to showcase they talent.
fuck yeah!
What’s with all these wack feats?
They dont appreciate free music!!!
SO basically he is featuring absolutely noone, except Styles P, what a let down.
Raekwon stop giving niggas free music!!!They dont appreciate the shit.
Extremely excited for this one. My only upset is that The mixtape won’t be available as early as I wake up. Also I love the fact that he has every single trophy yet he doesn’t play a sport.
SAUCE MONEY
Wu Tang fans are like hip hop juggalos, if you say one of their projects lacked they respond in all caps with a bunch of faggotry
FUKK YOU MOTHERFUCKER YOU MUST NOT NO GOOD HIP HOP YOUR A LIL WAYNE FAN I’LL TRACK YOU BY YOUR ISP ADDRESS AND FUCK YOU UP WU TANG 4 LIFE NUCCCCCAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
SMH, fuck outta here, this dude aint dropped anything worth hearing since OB4CL2, and this looks like it will suck at an equal or greater level
SMH @ a Sauce Money feature, I thought he woulda got a real job by now
haha no one wants to hear you bruh
fag. you wouldnt know a good hip hop track if it cock smacked you. smh at YOU.
FUKK YOU MOTHERFUCKER YOU MUST NOT NO GOOD HIP HOP YOUR A LIL WAYNE FAN I’LL TRACK YOU BY YOUR ISP ADDRESS AND FUCK YOU UP WU TANG 4 LIFE NUCCCCCAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
🙂
“Wutang stands for authenticity”…. so you need to hop the fuck off this bandwagon real quick and start repping your own.
This just shows how ungreatfull fucks hiphopfans are When someone drops a classic they riding all day long on his nuts and if they release something thats not classic immediately you diss! Fuck you if youre supporter you stay true
Nicki Minaj just went double platinum. Mitch3k bought the 2 millionth copy.
This is gonna be banging. Sauce money still be spitting raw shit. And and a Mobb deep and CNN collab has long been over dued. His album better be fire though. Niggas always put out mixtapes that should’ve been their album.
