I don't know enough about jazz to say anything insightful about this, but it's sheer magnificence. I already loved Mingus on the basis of Oh Yeah but this is easily the best non-lyrical album I've heard.
Nothing more or less than fun. Even when he's recycling the same shit he's been recycling since 97 Raekwon still sure knows how to put together an album. I love his mission statement for the project: "Before [Wu], I was on the block. I was living in Shaolin. So this album just shows the street side of me, challenging the great side of Wu-Tang." I can't say I heard much of that on the album, or anything out of the ordinary for that matter, but its more than a solid soundtrack for running deliveries.
Choice cuts: Silver Rings, Snake Pond, Moleasses
