It’s been a glass-half-full, glass-half-empty kind of week for the Wu.
Just a few days ago news broke that Raekwon was scheduled to enter the studio to record his verses for the upcoming A Better Tomorrow album, or at least “in talks” with RZA about doing so, which means it’s now less likely that the album will end up getting shelved. However, this doesn’t change the fact that the two most recent Wu-Tang singles have been dismally bad (and that’s coming from someone who loves almost everything the group has ever done, including 8 Diagrams).
In unrelated Wu news, on Mother’s Day of all days, it was reported that Christ Bearer, the West Coast Killa Bee who chopped off his own stinger, was able to have it reattached. [Editor’s Note: YES!!!!!!!!!!lololol!!!!!!!!!hi!!!!!!!!] However, that doesn’t change the fact that he mutilated his genitals while under the influence of PCP.
And on Thursday, RZA suddenly dropped a free EP in collaboration with Dr. Pepper. However, Dr. Pepper isn’t nearly as a tasty as Mr. PiBB, and the release in question, Only One Place To Get It, doesn’t feature any RZA vocals, plus, two of its four songs (tracks 3 and 4) are easy-listening disposables that sound like they were made for soda commercials. The other two bang, though.
