CRITIC REVIEWS
Wu-Tang's 90's output had a lot of relatively serious, gritty, hardcore raps that held out strong over their initial 5 year run of dominance. However, the late 90's and early 00's saw the Wu begin to embrace funkier, groovier sounds, and this record is one of the catalysts for that shift in sonic direction.

Found a lot of sick rap albums in 2020. This maybe was one of them but I'm pretty sure I was vacuuming my apartment while I listened to this so I just completely don't remember. Rating purely off respect here.
