WU-TANG CLAN The beats on 8 Diagrams aren't exactly RZA sharp
Alexx Henry
Credits
Release Date: Dec 11, 2007; Lead Performance: Wu-Tang Clan; Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap
C-
Six years after their last album, much has changed for the Clan. Sure, ODB died, but that ain't the half of it. Producer RZA — geeked off his recent soundtrack work (Ghost Dog, Kill Bill) — is mucking about with live instruments and limp beats. The result is a drab dilution of the Wu's signature sample-heavy, raucous sound on 8 Diagrams. Meanwhile, Raekwon, Meth & Co. have lost their lyrical ferocity. Judging by this disappointing return, Wu-Tang may not be forever after all.
