It's Coming... [Now With A Few Snips]

[pepilapugh]

Hey Cilva, this time can you not list the artist on intros, outros or when they are only talking on the track as features but instead as additional vocals? The last album was good but when you looked at the track list and got all hyped, but later found out it was just an interlude, drop, intro, outro or them talking was a bit of a let down & misleading. I think listing those kind of features as additional vocals would give the project a more genuine feel. Sounds like you really put allot of effort into this album & that it may be a last hoorah of sorts, and if the music is as epic as it sounds give us cover art and a booklet that's just as amazing. I'm really excited to hear that you have Tekitha on it, but am curious to know if Bluerassberry will make an appearance?

[TAURO]

I know you're probably not thinking about this now Cilva but I think it would be dope if the album artwork would have that martial arts theme, something with the same vibe to Liquid swords or the wu chronicles artwork.

[Cilvaringz]

We have a very good idea for the cover. Very excited to see how it comes out. As for mentioning features that only do intro/outro etc... yes you're right, that is irritating. And the only song that will have that credit is The Weeping Tiger. Im thinking of using this song again because I feel it was such a good track, it didnt meet its full potential on my first album. Only this version wont have me on it, my part is done by Deck and he did an excellent job. The other song Im thinking of adding is In The Name Of Allah, with a totally different mix and more instruments. But I havent decided yet. But I promise you all it would be the only 2 songs on there you know, the rest is all fresh new.

[pepilapugh]

Thanks for the reply & addressing the feature issues, as far as reusing those 2 songs, I think it would be cool. My suggestion would be to only use them as bonus tracks, once again to keep the albums integrity. Your critics will be the die hard wu fans so it may be a good idea to establish a happy medium between your vision & the fans, but I'm really excited by what I've heard about the project so far. Yo you know what else would be cool, is if you had the generals and wu fam do shout outs like at the beginning of clan in the front, same beat though with the generals & fam shouting each other out, that would be a cool homage to the 1st album. I'm 33 and have been a fan since the first time I heard them around 92, it has got to be a dream to be able to put a project like this together, it sounds like an album for the fans by the fans because I would say you share the same view & desires that us fans do.

[Cilvaringz]

Yes I always said to my brothers that I have one advantage over them and it's that I have one foot within the Wu and the other foot in the Wu-fan world, so I know what people want. Unfortunately they dont always see it that way which makes things harder and longer, like the 5 years this album took. But in the end, it is well worth it. Well, at least for me it is, and those around who have had the chance to hear it feel so too.

Weeping Tiger is a CRAZY track, never get tired of that one

[deeznutz1981]

I would have no problem with Weeping Tiger (with deck) and In The Name Of Allah making the cut since those were pretty much the best tracks on I and the most wu sounding imo. you need to get this out 4th quarter please and thanks.


And if you need me to send you some pictures of me for the album cover just let me know k peace

[Memory Man]

sounds very promising...

[moose36]

best news i've heard (musically) in the past couple of years...good stuff...

[mgammon]

I've heard you mention that you originally intended In the Name of Allah just for Masta Killa. The track came out dope on 'I' but I can't help but think how ill it would have been as a Killa solo joint.

[FasterBlade]

In the Name is pretty flawless as is, but hey its your material

Masta's verse on that is insane, one of his better recent ones

[Antonelli]

In the name of allah and weeping tiger are great tracks but imagine the wu over this epic of a bitter triumph beat... Can be something like "a better tomorrow" part II shit (it's the same sample).

[RUSHING PLATYPUS]

Weeping Tiger with Deck?










Yes please!

[Cilvaringz]

So the first revelation of line ups today is:

Inspectah Deck, Killer Priest, Killa Sin, Street Life & Method Man

[Cilvaringz]

And yes these are all verses of 16 and 20 bars each.
