Think Differently Music: Wu-Tang Meets the Indie Culture [PA] by Wu-Tang Clan

Pros: Great production, stellar guests, original concept.
Cons: No Deck, Ghost, Rae, or Meth, a few skippable performances.

Once upon a time, the Wu-Tang Clan were poster boys for underground rap even amidst bum-rushing MTV stages. Now under the auspices of longtime affiliate-turned-A&R Dreddy Krueger, the legendary Shaolin collective and their infinite ...

Pros: RZA, GZA, ODB tribute, Inspectah Deck, U-God, great indie artists and expert beat production
Cons: Wu members aren't prominent; some rappers fall flat; Where's the rest of the Wu?

THE MIGHTY WU-TANG HAS RETURNED! (sorta...) Since '01, the people have been waiting for the follow up after the Iron Flag. In 2005, we got what we.... weren't exactly looking for. I mean, come on! There are about 15 songs on the album; you mean to ...

Pros: Solid effort all around. RA the Rugged Man is awesome.
Cons: A few weak tracks (as always), not much ACTUAL Wu material

I've never been so caught off guard and yet so satisfied with a CD purchase before. One day I was minding my own business, fartin' around on iTunes, when I stumble across this track called "Biochemical Equation" featuring (gasp) RZA and (gasp gasp) MF ...

Pros: It has a TOTALLY different vibe.
Cons: Not enough songs.

Think Differently Music: Wu-Tang Meets The Indie Culture is an album I've waited for an eternity for. Some of my faves are on this album. Such as Vast Aire, Vordul Mega, Aesop Rock and so forth. The one song that jumped out at me was "Still Grimey". Sean Price (of Boot Camp), Prodigal Sunn (Sunz of Man) and C-Rayz-Walz. As soon as I heard that, it was a ride back to one of favorite periods of hip-hop (circa 1997-99). RZA and MF Doom have a song "Biochemical Equation" and it's dope. Honestly, this ain't going to win a grammy but as far as pleasing their fans; mission accomplished. It has a TOTALLY different vibe. At times, it feels as though it's a throwback to the Wu's heyday. That's not a bad thing at all. If you're still a fan of the Wu, get this album.
