Method Man's acid sarcasm grounds Ghostface Killah's tightly wound exclamations, which in turn nicely balance Raekwon's flinty realism, and the trio's rhymes are well served throughout by big, soulful beats.
-
Though the tight, cohesive, filler-free 12-track project sometimes feels more like a super-sized EP than a proper album, it’s worth remembering that Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) changed hip-hop with just 13 tracks.
-
Whereas past Wu albums have been scorned for their filler, Meth, Ghost and Rae leave plenty on the chopping block this time around, only allowing the best of the best to make the cut on Wu-Massacre.
-
The result is an album that feels more like a compilation than a true collaboration.
-
[The album was] rush-released by Def Jam on a low budget. It's a fact that's somewhat hard to hide behind the set's lean production and uneven narrative. But there's cohesion among most of the 13 tracks.
-
Twenty-five minutes of these three on autopilot still hits more often than not, ultimately making this disc a mixtape-y More Fish-style companion to Cuban Linx II-- hardly necessary, but not inconsequential.
-
UncutThere are flashes of grouchy greatness from all three--but only flashes. [Jul 2010, p.115]
