Chicago Reader | Music Review | 8 Diagrams by the Wu-Tang Clan, The Big Doe Rehab by Ghostface Killah. By Dustin ... (1508 words)
This is the thorn in the heel of Wu-Tang Clan mastermind RZA.
For 8 Diagrams, the clan’s fifth outing and the first since 1997’s Wu-Tang Forever that RZA has produced with little or no help, the other members have had to adapt to his evolved sensibility—which on too many songs includes not just the distracting extra instruments but nauseating R and B-style singing on the vocal hooks and refrains.
The Wu-Tang Clan as a whole has deteriorated—strife among members, prison terms, and the untimely death of ODB have all taken their toll, and as a result there have been not only lackluster group albums but also subpar side projects like Raekwon’s new Ice Water crew.
