VIMTV Episode #295: Raekwon – Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang

Jake: Recommended, 69/100

Tom: Recommended, 68/100

Overview: Raekwon’s latest features the top-notch rapping that you’d expect from a Wu-Tang Clan member. Unfortunately, it lacks excellence in many of the other aspects that make a rap album: memorable hooks, consistent production, and mood. Still a good and recommended listen for fans of the genre, but there is definitely better stuff out there.
