    just like '93, in midst of all the jiggy Wu Tang brought back to the streets. no bentlys, crystal or platinum chains...just raw hip-hop. no doubt, original dons set the trends...again!

    I think that they turned a little ghetto on this album. some songs are raw, but others are lame and have no skill. Wu tang is supposed to be about hip-hop. but there turning into a cash-money group. The CD could be better.

    This is their best album since their debut. Iron Flag contains some filler but has some amazing songs to compensate for it. If you like raw hip hop with great beats buy this album.

    Babies, Radioactive, and the hidden track after Iron Flag are three of the strongest tracks I've heard from the Wu in years. It was good to hear GZA back in his proper place as the Anchor man in the relay.

  1. Their darkest, most hypnotic disc since 1997's ''Wu-Tang Forever.''
  2. Iron Flag focuses squarely on the Wu's immense, twin strengths: bringing together some of the best rappers in the business, and relying on the best production confederacy in hip-hop (led by RZA) to build raw, hard-hitting productions.
  3. On Iron Flag, the Wu are not just back - they're overhauled and determined to compete.
