Wu-tang is for the children


Or at least, they were anyway. Then those kids grew up and now Wu-tang is mostly for adults. Especially the stuff RZA makes lately. Not that it's bad, but they haven't exactly been putting out multiple classic albums a year any time recently. They now have gotten into the mixtape game though and before that, wutang-corp.com was doing a good job posting yet-unheard wu related tracks for a while.
The best newer wu-tang mixtape I've heard lately is easily Coke Up In Da Dollar Bill, by Raekwon, presented by DJ Scream and DJ Whooooo Kiiiiiiiid! It has a very confident, high energy level through out, maybe it's all that coke Raekwon is pretend doing. I definitely checked out this mixtape as quickly as I did in part because of the silly cover. In a way it makes the mixtape very sad, because if Raekwon attempts to do all of that coke, he's going to die and this will have been his final album.
Also take note, ODB is not really featured on the first track. He just yells about something at the end of the track.
