I came in with low expectations for that record. Came out happy. Ditto with Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang.

It's gotta be bittersweet in a way that Wu-Tang artists (Raekwon in particular) are coming out with good records long after their time in the spotlight. But it's good for their overall legacy IMO.

>ehh to terrible. only that new track with Oh No has any reply
>value and it's mostly cause of the beat

Yeah. I put on Born Like This the other day and thought it was a real good album. It was the last "real" DOOM project.

>agree on Slick Rick constantly putting in great guest verses.

>I think it would be fantastic

Slick Rick is one of the GOAT and it's not even arguable IMO -- his discography is spotty but he is one of the few "old school" cats that always sounds like he's right on time. His style will never age.
