    1. This is pretty sub par compared to what they did in the past. Come to think of it, it’s quite lazy. Too bad they didn’t sign with Rick Ross, otherwise they’d have a better produced single. 1.5/5

    2. WOAH! Hooked instantly. The only complaint I had was the chorus, but it’s growing on me. Awesome! Peace.

    3. The hook is average but the W is back, save us from this shit on the radio and keep it grimy! SUUUUUU

    4. It’s okay. It’s pretty ordinary and bland. I’ve always been a big WU fan, I consider them the greatest rap group of all time. Living legends. But I can’t front, their chemistry is just dead. They don’t know if they wanna sound new school or old school, pop friendly or street. In Hip-Hop, you can’t really walk that line unless you’re a select few artists. You have to pick a side. They don’t have that unpredictability any more. It used to be when you listen to a Wu song, it was so creative, that you had a moment where you were like “What the fuck?..”, then after a couple more listens you were like “Yo, this shit is original and brilliant”. Now, it’s just contrived and calculated. Listen, you niggas are in your forties and damn there 50’s, you’re not gonna garner attention from this new age crowd. Cater to your loyal fans and hip-hop contingency. And What happened to Deck? he has no ferocity any more. He sounds like a million other niggas now. Weak rhyme schemes, weak energy. They just haven’t grown lyrically, their swords have gotten dull from being on the shelf too long, except for Rae and Ghost, who seem to be the most disinterested ones in the group.

    5. Not the W’s dopest track with that weak ass hook and no kung fu samples by RZA, but really a hot track and I’m glad their back! Can’t wait for A Better Tomorrow!

    6. I love Wu but this aint new this is old shit. Niggas in New York think its 1994 but its 2014. create and reinvent

      1. Create and reinvent what? Rappers in the 90s, have already taken hip hop to its peak, one of the reason why it’s such a shitty redundant genre today, with niggas rapping to repetitive trap beats,and simplistic rhymes. The 90s was and will always be the best era of rap music, nothing compares to it today.

    7. A bunch of Grown men talking bout nothing..people just rush to give it a 5 because they see WU. shit Is average at best.

    8. Wu-Tang Clan is one of the Greatest Groups Ever!!!!!this song bangs Method Man is underrated like Inspectah Deck forget it all of them killed the record

      1. That’s how I feel. RZA started changing around the time “The W” came out, but Mathematics kept that signature “Wu sound” going.

    9. Didn’t like it at first, but it grew on me as the track progressed because Cappadonna and GZA sounded the best on it…

      Last WU tang album and probably the last mobb deep album dropping around the same time. I listened to these guys when i was growing up, and still do to this day. Best group’s ever. Boot Camp Click had the potential to be just as good as Wu-tang clan and mobb deep off of sheer talent alone, but their production and concepts always fell flat when it came to their group efforts. (and nobody was touching Prodigy in his prime)

      Unfortunately a tribe called quest and EPMD broke up too early in my opinion, especially when we were just starting to hear tribe bring out J DILLA with their “Ummah” production crew. Sucks… But Mobb deep and Wu tang stood the test of time with consistent quality music (minus “iron flag” and “blood money”).

      Even if they don’t drop anything as a group ever again…………Wu tang is FOREVER

    10. That was better than I was expecting.
      Would be better with out that shit hook.
      And did GZA go through reverse puberty? Voice is high as hell on this

    11. Better to be trapped in the 90s, than trapped with nothing but “trap” beats. It’s easy to be a producer and rapper these days, takes no talent whatsoever.

      1. I don’t know about you it’s kinda hard to make trap beats. I make music in my own time it;s really a more in-depth process than finding a loop and adding boombaps. Not saying trap isn’t terrible, just don’t knock the process it’s very intricate.

    12. Sick beat, dope flows and lyrics from Meth, Cap, and GZA took it. But I don’t like the hook, and would’ve like to have heard Rae and Ghost on here, even though Rae bores me lately.

    13. theres nothing to really hate on here..straight MCs just spitting over a “non-trap” beat..says hiphop to me

    14. This song isn’t good. The chorus is corny, the beat is forgettable and some of those verses are just plain terrible. As GZA grows lyrically his flow becomes worse, I can barely tolerate him anymore, and Cappadonna’s lyrics were too simplistic and forgettable. Meth and Deck did their thing but couldn’t save the song. I’m hoping this isn’t the best they have to offer us. I’m not impressed

    15. If this is the last one they need to cut something that will keep us guessing for the next 20 years. This is too simple.

    16. Rae’s recent comments made me go back to this. While i agree with the importance of this single to the career of the group that this song should have been “bigger”, its still a good song. Beat is good. Meth ripped it. Hook was ehhh.

    17. Meh. Mediocre joint from some legends we all love. Beat is kinda dope, not sure what happened to the rest of it. Do better guys, that singn’ ass hook? Really?
