I believe he has talked about this. He isnt the same dude anymore. He has a wife and kids and he can't write the same way anymore because he is at a point in his life where things are good and happy and it'd hard to reach back to that time when he was lonely, angry, fed up, and trying to figure shit out. I had a hard time adjusting to it with the last album which is why I didn't really like it. But it's not as jarring this time around and I'm enjoying this one more. I can't hate on him for being at a good place in his life, even if it means the atmosphere I loved is no more. I don't think slug has much longer in the music scene but if he wants to end on a positive note good for him. Plus Ants production is still immaculate.

Yeah, I mean, it's good that Em patched things up with Kim, stopped swallowing pills and his daughter graduated as prom queen. It's swell that Jay isn't slinging crack on a street corner and good for Slug for not being an alcoholic drifter any longer. You can't hate on people getting their shit together. You too Alanis.
But 9/10 it just doesn't make for good music. I think Atmosphere's last album was a celebration - more of a "we did it, thanks to my supporters" album. This is just rhyming nonsense words and talking about how when his girl opens her mouth all he hears is a bird's song. It's honestly great that he feels that way, and if I knew him personally, I'd be like "Man, dude is finally good." But I don't, and can only judge the musician and he's just making bad music.
You're right about Ant though.
yep

Seriously. How is he gonna complain about RZA's production when he's doing music like this?

Meanwhile RZA's Dr. Pepper EP was pretty dope.
Can you even remember a song off of it? I've listened to all of the songs a few times over and couldn't tell you anything about them. The definition of forgettable.
all of these new wu tapes have been forgettable
Really the beat and his flow on it arent that explicitly bad, it's the flashback from 2004 Akon inclusion and the Call of Duty theme to the whole track. It's call of duty, and you're a wu-tang member. just stop.

50 trying to act tough after throwing that terrible pitch.
There's something to be said about Meth just not making music when he doesn't feel like and, if he's not happy with a project just saying...it didn't go the way I wanted it to go.

Can't wait until he finds a way to spin it, blame Jimmy Iovine.

I was moreso listening for production, and the live instrumentation sounded good on the one hip hop track (featuring a struggle verse from Rocky Fresh) and the others had interesting, more modern sounds; there's a track that could have been on SZA's latest project.
It made me cautiously optimistic for the Wu album.

You mean he refused to bang African children and sap the magic of success from their booty holes?
as a fan, Fresh doesn't have the it factor.
Chance doesn't have it either but his music is straight up P4K bait and he's got that A+ marketing team behind him.
Damn, this goes hard as fuck.

First thing I thought of.
I really wonder what 50 is thinking about now. He could have played nice, teamed up with Dre and Jimmy, and just like the Vitamin Water deal could have received a significant portion of this sell.
