Free Music Notes for 8 Diagrams

Free Music Review: Its OK
Hit: 3 Stars

Yeah, Wu Tang is unpredictable, and thats the problem. When I buy a Wu release, I want to hear the Wu, not someone else. When Wu appear on only slightly more than half, I am a little disappointed.

The hot tracks on this one are:
Take It Back
Unpredictable

And Wu knows these are the best tracks as they are the tracks that headline the DVD that its packaged with. Speaking of the DVD, its good from an inside the studio point of view, but the concert footage is NOT good. Distortion, and worst of all its censored.

Overall its just OK. I'll listen to those teo tracks religiously and delete the rest from the mp3 player.

8 Diagrams Poster

On Wu-Tang Clan's sixth album, 8 Diagrams, producer RZA still knows how to drop the bottom out of listeners' expectations. A minute and a half into opener "Campfire," for example, he abruptly switches keys just as the accompanying vocal downshifts from a melodic Curtis Mayfield sample ("Gypsy Woman") into Method Man's merciless first verse. From then on, despite the contentious instrumentals (Raekwon practically disowned the final product), RZA's never lets his fun get in the way of the MCs' speaking largely for themselves. Unsurprisingly, they still have a lot to say, though much of it treads firmly in the most stereotypical of hip-hop posturing: self-adulation, rough-edged with a syncopated litany of more or less violent, casually sexist bravado. Of course, those who tend toward hip-hop with a heart of gold would never be listening to the Wu anyway. Erykah Badu, John Frusciante (Red Hot Chili Peppers), and George Harrison's own son Dhani can't resuscitate "The Heart Gently Weeps," but then "Take It Back," "Wolves" (with George Clinton), and especially he timpani-pummeled "Weak Spot" show that even at loggerheads, the Wu still rocks an eccentric, charismatic funk. In the end, it seems, a gaggle of irreverent rappers this talented and volatile ages well almost in spite of itself. Keep 'em coming. --Jason Kirk
