    This album has a hidden track after conditioner where GZA spits fire on a RZA track that reminds me of the 93-95 years of the Wu. The entire crew is on point as usual, but Deck stands out even more so on this album.

    With a New York street sound, dope beats and rhymes as sharp as a knife, the W keeps up with the Wu-Tang clan's reputation as one of the best rap groups ever and grows even more its influence on hip-hop.

    mit dem ersten „Neger“, mit dem ich sprach, gings über Wu-Tang, sonst kannte ich nur Michael Jackson. Klingen, die schneiden sind Wörter, war mein Aufhänger.

  1. But for all its rapped W-Unity, this is RZA's record.... Far from straining, he's gone sensei, achieving a craft in which the hand leads the mind.

    All the big Wu dogs are here -- Ghostface Killah, Method Man, Raekwon, Genius, etc. -- and it sounds like they've been sharpening their skills like knives. They toss rhymes back and forth with the precision of a machine -- they're so good it's almost scary.
  3. "W" does have a few flaws, namely "Conditioner," which features Snoop Dogg and is the only track graced with Ol' Dirty's presence. Despite his trademark voice-cracking inflection, the Dirt Dog's verse sounds as if it was recorded over the phone, detracting from what could have been another Wu banger.
