High expectations seems to have left some ‘fans’ critiquing wanting something harder, nevertheless these beats are clearly rooted from something nurtured in the 90’s and not of this era. There was surprisingly little word on the street about the release of, The Saga Continues’ by Wu Tang, perhaps because it’s not perceived as a full clan album (missing members GZA and U‑God) or maybe, just maybe it is that these men need no introduction or hype. Current yet somewhat nostalgic, the intro to some tracks made me reminisce on the beginning of older tracks as did some of the lines such as, ‘flee with the lottery’, I had an instant flashback to ‘Triumph’! With signature dark atmospheric Wu beats, sharp rhymes consisting of witty wordplay and conscious content, intertwined with vintage kung fu samples, modern pop culture references and socioeconomic commentary, it almost sounds like an audio revolution.
