his pen game is wack. he cant write good raps. no multis, no metaphors, and barely even stays on beat.
luckily his content is good, not the same old rims/chain ?
and his production is always amazing

not trying to be a hater, in fact ob4cl2 still gets regular rotation and i think his latest will get rotation for awhile to come, but its all thanks to the production honestly, and i always find that the first songs i check for are the ones that feature artists better than him.

thoughts????

    If you dont know what a half moon part is or a Caesar cut this might not be for you. Rap is a culture.

    Rae is solid but the beats and guest stars did carry OB4CL 1 & 2 this new album is solid but it has always been GZA,Ghost,? ,Deck,Rae,Cappa,Masta,ODB,RZA and U-? in that order. I know Cappa aint official Wu-Tang member but he might as well be. Also cats sleep on Ghost because he has two styles he can give a straight lyrical knowledge rap or that nonsencial Apollo kid flow I always like that about him. Wu-Tang es para siempre!!!

    ill just agree to disagree. I think he adds just enough that he compliments whoever he's on the track with. He rarely make an ass of himself amongst his peers
