Music Review: Wu-Massacre

Wu-Massacre
Wu-Massacre

The three most talented MCs from the Wu-Tang Clan alone on an album is like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich without the crust or starting with dessert. You get directly to the best part of the meal.

Masquerading as an LP when it’s really a glorified EP, Wu-Massacre is an updated, albeit stripped-down version of classic Wu-Tang LPs like Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers). Only 12 tracks and half an hour long, Ghostface Killah, Raekwon and Method Man don’t waste time with half-ass verses and filler skits, save a cameo by Tracy Morgan and an old-school interlude.

There are no surprises. RZA provides the best track, “Our Dreams,” a rich, soul-sampled burner featuring love-stricken verses from each MC. Raekwon continues to be the grimy poet. Ghost’s smooth delivery makes love to the mic. Method Man drops inexplicable rhymes that somehow make sense.
