anyone needs 8 Diagrams, just send a PM.

Believe me when I say

You don't want 8 diagrams.

Buy 3 copies of American Gangster instead

🙂

lets see some track by track reviews on 8 diagrams ill put mine up once a done listening to it

1. Camp Fire - Meth, Ghost and Cappadonna all destroy this track, Meths flow is absoloutely ridiculous on this one good intro 4/5
2. Take It Back - Deck "i've seen hell, fell into the palms of satans arms" love that line, ugod also comes nice on this 4/5
3. Get 'Em Out Ya Way Pa - ugod has a good verse on this track aswell as method man but dont like masta killas verse and the songs a little to long and drags a bit at the end 3/5
4. Rushing Elephants - gza's outshines everyone on this with a classic ****ign verse 4/5
5. Unpredictable - would be higher but Dexter Wiggles annoying voice in the background ruins it alittle 3/5
6. The Heart Gently Weeps - "He wouldn't let go the joint, so i ****ing bite him" ghosts verse is ****ing classic 4.5/5
7. Wolves - "the apple martini, of course its stirred" ugod on some james bond shit on this 4/5
8. Gun Will Go - 4.5/5 fav song on cd
9. Sunlight - Rza solo, song praising allah goes on a little to long 3.5/5
10. Stick Me for My Riches - lot of singing on this track but it comes together very well , INS and GZA both are top notch on this 4/5
11. Starter - 3.5/5 dont like the singing on this but the lyrics are sharp and the beat is a banger
12. Windmill - 3/5 average wu track
13. Weak Spot- 3/5 average wu track
14. Life Changes - everything excellent other than rzas wack verse 4/5

American Gangster is sick. Best since Reasonable Doubt imo.

Waiting for official UK release of 8 Diagrams (December 10th I think). No 5 star tracks then brett?

8 diagrams was weak,I don't think I can give it another listen for some time.

Y Society - Travel at your own pace
Blu & Exile - Below the Heavens
Blue Scholars - Bayani

Are my top 3 of 07 hands down.

na not 5 star tracks like triumph or anything like that but overall its a better cd than both iron flag and w reminds me of forever beat wise.

YA'BOY is really grinding. check out his myspace page

8 Diagrams had potential, all the Wu Gambinos brought it to the level they were at circa Forever

Shame RZA had to ruin it with his shitty beats.

1.) American Gangster
2.) Jesus Price Supastar
3.) Underground Kingz
4.) The Brick
5.) Ti vs TIP
6.) Graduation
7.) Below the Heavens
8.) Gangsta Grillz
9.) Finding Forever
10.) Ultimate Victory

Disappointing year hopefully Lupe and Nas come through in the 4th

and Cham really needs to go back to rapping about Jewelry and stuff circa Get Ya Mind Correct.

CunninLynguists- Dirty Acres

not a dissapointing year at all^ this one album did it for me.

def want this one

don't know how ppl r saying 8 diagrams was weak only songs that werent good were get them out the way pa and tar pits and tar pits wont even be on the us cd so basically theres 1 weak track and the only reason its weak is because of the shitty hook and beat the lyrics are fire.

Just to switch gears a little i thougt i'd put this up. Just got done listening to it and it's the most profound track i've ever heard.

It's from Rass Kass. It's called "Nature of the Threat".

It's still growing on me,but my first impression was that it was weak...
I still haven't heard that one track that's stands out.
I do dig that George Clinton track,not sure why....mmm

yea Ras Kass is an underrated mc. 'Soul on Ice' is one of the best albums i've ever heard. lyrically it's on another level. beats have to grow on you though.

ras kass - nature of the threat

honestly it just sounds like he's talking to me. its not even like he's rapping. i mean if you wanna put a message in your song thats fine but you need to do it slickly with a little bit of style instead of just talking fast over a beat.

just my opinion...

ya that george clinton track is ****ing insane, love the westeren sample in the background

Wolves and Unpredictable are the 2 I've been feeling the most...

Give Interview With a Vampire by Ras a listen. Better beat, better flow, and a much more interesting topic (as much as I admire Nature of the Threat, it's pretty ridiculously afrocentric).

He's hugely underrated, he's made some huge career mistakes (his attempts at commercial tracks are embarrassing), but he's an unbelievable lyricist.

i just listened to the new Ghostface Killah

Big Doe Rehab > 8 Diagrams

i'm liking it more than Fishscale after 1 listen.
