Wu-Tang Clan - Mathematics Presents Return of the Wu & Friends | First Peek


Release Date: February 16, 2010
Label: Gold Dust Media

Back in 2007, when I reviewed Mathematics Presents Wu-Tang Clan & Friends – Unreleased for About.com, I noted the absence of the main Clan members as a flaw. Return of the Wu & Friends is a follow-up of sorts to the Unreleased album, and from the tracklisting alone, you can be assured that this is a step in the right direction. Wu-Tang has been on fire lately! My personal bias notwithstanding, can I get a suuuu?

  7. Just ripped this offa filestube and I'm glad I didn't pay for this garbage. Over half the songs were released by this clown on his earlier album (unfortunately I did pay for that one). And the "new" tracks (forgettable remixes of recycled verses)? Not even mediocre. Mathematics has truly solidified his role as the Assata Shakur/Suge Knight of the Wu-Tang legacy with this trainwreck. *deletes from harddrive and memory.
