I remember when the first Cuban Linkx album dropped back in 1995 ( I was 20). It didnt even create that much of a buzz as the Wu were dropping albums left right and center like no tomorrow and people were get hit with albums after albums and this just added to there growing collection.
The actual production was for me the best RZA came out with, proper stellar cutting edge futuristic beats that no-one had done before. Even new newer production sounds dated.
Having said that Liquid Swords, Ironman, Forever were also excellent albums, its a shame really that the momentum just died after Forever mainly the fact people wanted another Enter the Wu and Forever was scientific for most peoples minds.

Looking forward to this one, even though it should have came out around the late ninties after the Forever album, that would have gone in-sync with the changing sounds of the Wu.

I think The W was the closest to Enter the Wu that they came...I prefer Forever...but The W was interesting. some frightening shit on there.

I also liked Iron Flag, but it was a "everyone can get it" sort of album. Still good.

The two after that...they're alright....Chamber Music better than 8 Diagrams in my opinion.

this album isnt genre defining like OB4CL, but it's one of the best hip-hop albums that came out this year.

and Trife's album is also up there

just browsed through the album, it's pretty cool but I'm not that impressed with it. Some beats sound pretty lame to me but there's also a good bunch of bangers on there. If it comes out on vinyl, I'll cop it.
Also wasn't a fan of Immobilarity or Lex Diamond Story but in hindsight those were also pretty good albums.
Also checked Blueprint 3 and I gotta say I'm disappointed. I liked American Gangster a lot but this one doesn't really do much for me

*Hypothetically*, you could search on sharedmusic.net, and you might just come across it. Possibly.

after some listening...nicest mainstream hiphop album ive heard in quite a while...I like Jay Stay Paid better for this year, but thats not really the same kind of sound. imo, Dre's beats were the weakest on the album. funny how big the difference is between the old Dilla beats & the new Dre ones. Guess it's like Illa says on the new J album tho, lol

Was hoping that the Marley Marl produced track would be a proper full tune instead of a skit.
