Yo Sam, what do you think about the current status of the Wu, new album, good or not? The tour, will it actually happen? Jumped the shark, when dirty died did something of the Wu die with him that will cause the greatest rap group of all time to never be the same? Has Ghostface eclisped Meth as the major draw? Allot to think about but if anyone can shed light on a subject so robust, you can......

Ghostface brings a legitimacy to the game, moreso than meth who became more of a comedic figure with his shortlived sitcom and the movie how high, and meth's occasional gangster persona, seen in shows like "the wire", albiet good still don't eclipse his "how high" persona, thus ghostface is definately the bigger draw, especially with his past two albums being fairly tight, his track on the much overlooked "danger doom" album and his recent apperance on the show "the boondocks".
As far as the Wu, the current track that is out with Eryka Badu et al is aiight, but missing something, the RZA seems to be coming light on the beats, whereas his last joint, Wu tang clan and the independant culture, was beat heavy. Bought into their own hype? Maybe. Will the new album be anything like Iron Flag? Doubtful. Jumped the shark? NOt yet.
Personally the last truely great rap album I bought was the Danger Doom joint, featuring Ghostface Killah, Talib Kwali and a few others. ODB being gone isn't the be all end all, but the RZA doesn't need guest stars, he needs the GZA, RaeKwon, Masta Killa, Ghostface, Instekta Deck and the rest of the crew. The rest is just window dressing...
In my humble opinion. Word.
