Do you remember when the Cappadonna verse from Winter Warz was first circulating? HOLY SHIT! "See my face on a hundred dollar bill" I know typically everyone says the Purple tape, which, if I was doing a top 15, it would be here , but for some reason Iron Man is my favorite Wu album. Ghost is one of the successful members STILL bangin out great albums , so maybe I saw the potential then, I don't know. First off "Winter Warz" and the Cap verse was incredible, then "All I got is You" hit radio and " pluckin roaches out the cereal box" , was the realest shit a rapper ever said. "Faster Blade" was just RAE and incredible. "Asssassination Day" is maybe the best WU beat ever. And you can never forget the vulgarity on "Wildflower" this nigga Ghost was top notch on this shit. i can boast about every dope song on here but y'all should already know. My best memory of this album was me and all my homies from the block got all together, hopped on the bus, and went to "The Wall". Remember that place? With the blue sticker? Haha yeah, we all went and bought the tape, cd, and even vinyl. So excited, ripping the packaging apart on the bus,all the fun things about being a fan those days. Now it's boring. I remember us freaking out when we heard "Assassintaion Day", good times. I dont have to explain the impact Wu put on the game but it definitely hit me like a ton of bricks, and this to me is Wu at it's best. The mixes were improved, and the creativity and topical side of Wu was revealed. GFK for President fuck Donald Trump!!!

For real, man. GFK went hard on that shit, and every other albums afterwards. Supreme Clientele for example. Damn. Wu has so many classics under their belt, it's very hard to choose one favorite.
ReplyDeleteAssassination Day blew my head off, that Usual Suspects dialog for the intro...reckless. The album sounded like a Wu album with Ghost hosting the event. Sicko material. "splurging, merging in the suburbs"... Rae was top notch, Rza stung'em, the emergence of Cappa, Meth in the rotation, and the sprinkles of Deck, U-God, Masta Killa made the Lp what it still is today...classic.
