Wu-Tang Clan
\nA Better Tomorrow
\n<\/i>(Warner Bros.)
\n2\/5<\/p>\n

Being a longtime fan of Wu-Tang Clan, I was beyond excited for their latest release, A Better Tomorrow<\/i>, their first since 2007. Unfortunately, that excitement quickly dissolved after the opening track, \u201cRuckus in B Minor.\u201d<\/p>\n

After listening to the album in its entirety, it\u2019s the best song, and it should have been the only song. It feels like the Clan put all their effort into \u201cRuckus in B Minor\u201d and forgot about the other two necessary elements to make a good hip-hop track: bumping beats and wicked verses.<\/p>\n

The only other track I enjoyed was \u201cPreacher\u2019s Daughter,\u201d which has a good vibe to it, sampling from \u201cSon of a Preacher Man.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Better Tomorrow<\/i> is lackluster, which is unfortunate because, even though it was released a year late, this was the much-anticipated 20th anniversary album for Wu-Tang Clan.<\/p>\n
