    1. If ever a track deserved 5/5 then this is it, Rae gave me chills, Black gave me chills, the beat gave me chills and even the hook/sample gave me chills!

    2. Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang looking like something special. Raekwon evolving but staying original, cop the album March 8th. Wu-Tang.

    3. DAM I HATE TO SAY IT BUT THIS ALBUM MIGHT END UP BEING BETTER THAN LUPE’S AND IM FROM THE CHI WE GOT OUR HOMEY’S BACK NO MATTER WAT BUT I GOTTA CALL ONCE I HEAR THEM BOTH BUT REGARDLESS THIS SHIT IS RIDDICULOUS!!! THOUGHT IS ALWAYS IN MY TOP 5

    4. Im a wu-tanger till the death of me. Thank god that nowadays there is still some good ass rap music left and not only, rick ross (ex-cop) bullshit

      1. Rikky killed my whole hype for this album. The tracks coming out are undeniable but Ross precense brings the whole shit down for me. Now let the hater calling begin.

      2. If you let one 16 by a rapper you don’t like kill your hype for an entire album on some protest shit i think you might be taking this shit a little to seriously… Gotta love Hip Hop Nerds.. smh

      3. ^^^ yeah man. thats what im saying…Shit Rae OK’d it..FUCK he got dude on his albim so why are all these people hating..SO FUCKIN WHAT IF HE WAS A COP OR WHATEVER! you dumb fucks just dont get it.

      4. No, you are all playing yourself with the hater card. Im drawing the line for the fakeness with this dude. Its ok, you can call me a hater, rapnerd or whatever the f you want. I dont mess with fake people in my everyday life and for me this dude is too much.

        I can see how its easier for people to not care but to me this is wack. Anything goes rite now and if your not co signing your a hater. Fuck that shit, i love hiphop to death but i choose not to support this type of hiphop leaches.
        Maybe its just me but i want my artist to at least not have been a snitch, prison guard or whatever phony shit rappers get away with nowadays.

        With that said, Raes album was dope as hell just like expected but hes not getting my money this time around.

        Peace, love and hate i guess.

    5. Powerful. Yo, Raekwon’s rhyme schemes are fuckin’ insane. I know some people understand lyrics better than others, and for those who get it, Rae is a jewel. You could never duplicate his style because his rhymes and his patterns are unpredictable. Some people think he just babbles a bunch of bullshit but I think its the opposite. I think that nigga really thinks hard when he writes.

      1. Not for nothin but switching rhyme schemes every 1 and a half bars is actually easier than finding the words you need to rhyme and stay with the same scheme for 4 plus bars… Not taking anything away from Rae or this classic track but lets call it like it is..

      1. i know my classics so i can recognize one when i hear one and this album is DEFINITELY a classic

        now as far as the “kid” statement you made against me i bet im older than you, but i also bet like many people in this mothafucka you just a young fool talkin reckless cause we both know how hard you try to sound in this cypher like a grown up man when actually you aint none and you wont move a muscle if we have met each other face to face

        so please, the next time just shut the fuck up and stick to post a comment on your own sharing your thoughts on the track you actually listening to instead of e-thuggin all over the place

        faggot mothafucka

    6. yo with all the lupe lasers talk/disappointment i almost forgot Rae is coming out next week too. this song is dope!! cant wait for shaolin vs wu-tang. HIP-HOP not hip-pop

    7. Black Thought just earned hottest verse of the year with that shit.

      “My tenth shot is as official as a third one, second one, first one, worst come to worst run.”

      CRACK

    8. people dont give thought the credit he diserves like he cant spit with anybody in the game…its the others you need to worry about whether they can keep up with him or not he can do it all

    9. dowloaded the leaked album from ahashare.com and after few listens this shit go bizzerk cant wait to cop it from itunes on 6th

    10. 1st we had ghostface appollo kids now rae shoalin vs wu tang wow! wu tang are BACK!!

      from pecknarm, london

      giggs mixtape “take your hats off” banging

    11. Raekwon is garbage. His abstract raps are all over the place and make zero sense.
      Terrible, overrated rapper

    12. For everyone sayin rae is the best in the game…love rae, but he just got out-spit but the best in the game, Black Thought

    13. THIS TUNE IS A BANGER!!!!

      Chop Chop Ninja” (featuring Inspectah Deck & Estelle)

      RAEKWON DONE IT AGAIN TRUST ME EVERYBODY GO AND BUY IT!!!! ITSSSS PHAT!

    14. This had a perfect rating… not anymore!! Hahaha, fuck Raekwon’s old ass. He has NEVER spit a verse with different subject matter in his entire career. Talk about a one trick pony, eh?

      1. @rofl,
        A one trick pony? Expand your mind and actually listen son. His versatility is what makes him who he is, he’s been a guess on Kanye and Big Boi tracks. Raekwon has stood the test of time, after releasing two lackluster albums after the classic Only Built for Cuban Linx, he steadies the ship and releases the critically acclaimed sequel Only Built for Cuban Linx 2. All critically acclaimed work. But I understand if you wanna jam to someone who’s as versatile as Waka Flaka or OJ Da Juiceman. Wu Tang.

      2. He usually spits in one rhyme scheme and yet everything he said just went over your head. You have no idea about rap music.

    15. Exactly.
      Raekwon is nothing more than a one trick pony.
      ALL his verses sound exactly the same.
      He has ZERO versatility

      1. get the fuck out of here, one trick pony? i bet you like when people rap like this every bar:

        and your city faded off the brown, Nino,
        she insists she got more class, we know!
        swimming in the money come and find me, Nemo,
        if i was at the club you know I ball’d, chemo,

    16. this album is going to be hot! might be the second cd i buy this year (the first was onyx bacdafucup for the second time)

      lupe fiasco wishes he could put out ill shit like dis

      1. no he doesn’t…his style is completely different. I love lupe and wu but I’d never compare them, cause that doesn’t even make sense.
        This song is genius tho! damn

      2. what these niggas talkin bout? 2 man big pun a one man slaughterhouse, 2 album jay z a one nigga wu tang, a young and hungry mos def a conscious rappin lil wayne! LOL i love wu tang but lupe is out of this world.

    17. Black Thought enhances EVERY song he’s featured on-“He could make your track tighter!”

      Divine, PEACE!

    18. This is some real live ninja shit right here, some slap you the fuck out your drake jeans shit. Some lynch soldier boy in town square shit. Peace to the gods.

    19. “Spark Up an L For The Homies That I aint heard From”. Fuckin Black Thought is So Fuckin Sick, Dude Makes Real Music In This Fucked Up Real World That We Live In. DOPE!

    20. 75 out of 72 ppl have voted dis a perfect score…….dat goes to show u the bullshit rap is finna die!!!!

      1. if you dont think raekwon and black thought are hip hop then youre really retarded and dont know shit about good music go back to young money and all that other bullshit you prob listen to

    21. i just heard the song of the year so far. this needs to be a single rae. fuck that rock n roll shit

    22. killin it BT. “one way ticket to paradise” kill those wack rappers. why u think noone ever wanted it with thought

    23. “i dont guarnatee no survivors.” i wouldnt fuck with him on a mic either if i rapped. rae is a brave man

    24. cant top this unless you put…nope cant top this. i was actually waitin at that pause for some names to come to mind but they were all dead lol

    25. can any of you relate to how i needed to hear this so bad. once i heard the fact thta this was goin down i was hyped

    26. i was married to a state of mind and i divorced it- bt. but now im back on that bs with this song

    27. I cant decide which is a better song, this or te one with nas. i think thought gets the nod here. he was a better feature

      1. haha yeah really cuz too many hip hop fans got soft asses and can’t take mistakes or different opinions.

    28. this beat is hott as my house……love the asian guy in the beginning….

      rae kilt it….thought is always on point….

    29. Wow!! If they were really spitting some rhymes like Killah Priest does….on this, this would be so far beyond just a rating of 5. When you think about Wu-Tangs background this should be the type of rap they rap but they dont. I still respect them but i wanna hear some more stuff like this.

      And i think the guy talking is Elijah Muhammad. I recognize that voice anywhere.

      1. It’s Winston Churchill. The speech is called “Masters of our Fate” hence the name of the song.

    30. havnt heard 1 track off this shit i was dissapointed wit even the 1 i thought could easily do withought jim jones

    31. My Soul on Ice. Courage and Sacrafice, hold on tight, and save your laughter for the afterlife. These chumps thinking they good they ain’t even half as nice, your fate’ll be a one way ticket to the afterlife.

    32. My Soul on Ice. Courage and Sacrafice, hold on tight, and save your laughter for the afterlife. These chumps thinking they good they ain’t even half as nice, your fate’ll be a one way ticket to the afterlife.

    33. Not sure if anyone saw the Rae and Ghost performance of Rock and Roll on Jimmy Fallon I saw the footage on the net, and that song sounds 10x better with the Roots playing it live and without Jim Jones. They get it in on that version google it everyone and see if you feel the same.

    34. If you believe in Top 5 Dead or Alive and Black Thought isn’t in your list…you have a problem.

      “95 people have voted.
      5 is the most popular ranking.
      91 people gave it a perfect five”

      1. Well said, if you consider yourself a REAL lyrical hip hop head, BLACK THOUGHT must be in your top 5 breathing for sure, top 10 dead or a live EASILY…

        Nas, Black Thought, Kool G Rap, Em (moreso pre nearly dying twice from overdoses from 04-08 & his music since then, but his UNREAL prime of 96-02/03), Big Pun is probably my top 5…Elzhi (arguably the illest spitting in 2011), Pharoahe Monch, Diabolic (right behind Elzhi), Big L, Rakim (in his 86-92 prime especially), BIG/PAC, Common, Mos/Talib, Andre 3000 (94-2000 prime), Tondeff, Ice Cube in the late 80’s to mid 90’s, Cunnin Lynguists, Lowkey, Masta Ace, Blu, Juice, SH/WU as a group are my top 25 that basically EVERY REAL HIP HOP HEAD should like a lot/love

      1. I mean they’re both pretty ill @ it (Em more in his ONE OF the GOAT prime of 96/97-02/03). Black Thought is certainly in my top 10 of all time. Pun, Nas, Kool G Rap, Em, Big L, Black Thought, Pharoahe Monch, Common, Elzhi, Diabolic, Louis Logic, Tonedeff, One Be Lo, Juice, Most of Wu (I’ll count them as one :)), Mos/Talib, Andre 3000, Masta Ace, Lowkey, BIG, Pac, Redman, Jada, Rakim make up my top 25 prob

    35. your a fucking straight up clown. you dont know shit about rap. to say both of them suck and this is pop hop it beyond retarded. kill yourself. you have about as much credibility as soulja boy does in prison

    36. Sampled song sure sounds a lot like “Man with the Harmonica” from Ennio Morricone off the Once Upon a Time in the West soundtrack. Great though!

    37. This track is nuts. The albums weak links is with all the non Wu artist. Should have been an EP instead.
