U-God - Dopium

Grandmaster G · 06-01-2009, 04:25 AM

in all honesty, anyone thinkin u-god can come correct with this

i know shyne fuckin hates u-god, but what yall think?

train trussle is an okay first single.......not as good as bizarre and not as horrible as bump

For some reason I think its gonna be decent....I've always liked U-god on all the wu albums but not so much solo...

Shyne · 06-01-2009, 04:57 AM

its not even that I hate him, as a part of the Wu he's actually my favorite member, usually has the best verse on the songs to me. But his solo albums are average and wack and dude has such a shitty attitude. I hope this is good but im not going to hold my breath, U-God is the only cat in the world who could get a RZA in his prime produced albums and make it sound like shit so its going to take a miracle for this to be anything above average,

While many of Wu-Tang Clan members’ albums boast features from their associates, Dopium features an even more diverse list of guest artists. Included on the album are collaborations with Jim Jones [click to read], Sheek Louch and legendary producing emcee Large Professor [click to read].

Looking at the guest list, U-God said, “[Jim Jones], that’s my man, that’s my peeps. I was always up in Harlem [when I was] growing up, so I always felt [there were] certain dudes I could reach out to. And then one day, we were in the studio recording shit, and I happened to know that he was going to be there in the same studio. So what I did was, I just went to the studio session. He had a hundred dudes up in there, them niggas were smoking weed, he was doing whatever. I just went straight to the dude and said ‘Yo dag, I want you on my joint,' and he said ‘Aight.’ Two weeks later, he was up at my favorite spot, and I went up there and met him. I sat there with my man and I got a verse from the dude. Dude is a real dude; ain’t too many real dudes left in the game. I recognize real dudes. I can see a lot of dudes are faking, acting like they’re the shit, acting like they’re like this, that and whatever. But Jim [Jones] is a real dude. I approached him, and he gave me his verse in 15 minutes. Bang, it was nothing. Same thing with Sheek Louch. Bang, 15 minutes in. [There are] certain dudes I can see ‘He’s hood oriented, so he ain’t going to take me through that movie-star status shit, or not call me back he because he doesn’t feel level I’m on his level'...[Sheek] gave me a nice dart, too.”

U-God Talks "Dopium," Sharpening Skills

album is destined for a fail

First singles decent, i think itll b an average album, nuttin classic. Wil def chec the Sheek collabo out, but apart from that it'll probs b sum throwaway tunes. He's never been a standout member of the Wu for me, like i said in the other post-Ghostface is always my fave (second fave being Meth), U Gods always been in the middle sumwhere!

Threyev · 06-01-2009, 03:23 PM

i'm gonna listen to the bootleg before i buy anything. with u-god, he needs to earn my cash. he definitely has the skills to maintain a full album, but i think that his best stuff - like inspectah deck - will be where he just comes into a verse and rips shit. (i'm thinking of 'knuckleheadz' from cuban linx where he just shat on rae and ghost)

with a cover like it has, it's either gonna be some raw shit or the worst album of all time.

no to u · 06-02-2009, 01:26 AM

im a big fan of wu-tang and u-gods verses in wu tang and i want to be a fan of his solo records but i never like them hopefully this one will be good

KING BHOB · 06-02-2009, 01:57 AM
