New Release Tuesday/Song of the Day

Today's new release is Wu-Tang's Legendary Weapons. I've heard five songs off the disc and all are nice. I also read a review that said it was mediocre because it didn't have the whole clan as a cohesive unit. Um, it's NOT a true Wu-Tang Clan release, so if you are among those that expected a full-length from the Clan, then you will be disappointed. If you expected a compilation much like Wu-Tang Chamber Music, then you will be happy with this release. Seriously, I'm a harsh critic when it comes to new music not living up to the artist's past, but I never thought of this along the same lines as Enter The 36 Chambers, so that's why it hasn't disappointed me to this point.

I'm gonna cop the entire disc today. Best Buy has it for $7.99, as does Amazon.com. There's a Deluxe Edition on iTunes for $9.99, but it doesn't look any different than the regular release, so I don't know what's up with that. Anyway, for only $8 it's worth checking out.

Here is the tracklist. GZA and Masta Killa are the only members absent. Great guest spots as well with help from Sean Price, AZ, M.O.P., Action Bronson and Termanology.

1. Start the Show (feat. Raekwon and RZA)

3. Diesel Fluid (feat. Method Man, Trife Diesel and Cappadonna)

5. The Black Diamonds (feat. Ghostface, Roc Marciano and Killa Sin)
6. Legendary Weapons (Ghostface, AZ and M.O.P.)

10. 225 Rounds (feat. U-God, Cappadonna, Bronze Nazareth and RZA)

12. Live Through Death
13. Only the Rugged Survive (feat. RZA)
14. Outro

And for the Song of the Day.....

I give you "Meteor Hammer" off this disc, which is Ghost, Action Bronson and Termanology. The Ghost/Action Bronson combo is what really intrigued me about this track as Bronson sounds eerily similar to Ghostface. His voice, his cadence, the whole nine makes him sound like a white version of Tony Starks. Even still, Bronson is nice on the mic. And although it was those two that I was peeping for, it's Termanology that absolutely slays this track. Term is a tremendous MC and he really takes advantage of getting the spotlight here, ripping his verse with ferocity and slick word play. Really dope track.
