[DISCUSSION] Raekwon - Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang (10 Years Later)

Posted: 21 Apr 2021 01:00 PM PDT

Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang is the fifth studio album by American rapper and Wu-Tang Clan-member Raekwon, released March 8, 2011, on Ice H20 and EMI Records. Guests for the album include Black Thought, Busta Rhymes, Ghostface Killah, GZA, Inspectah Deck, Lloyd Banks, Method Man, Nas, and Rick Ross, among others.

The album debuted at number 12 on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 29,000 copies in its first week. It produced three singles, "Butter Knives", the title track and "Rock n Roll". Upon its release, Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang received positive reviews from most music critics, who complimented Raekwon's performance and commended him for his musical direction.

Background

Due to the 8 Diagrams controversy, which took place in late 2007, Shaolin Vs. Wu-Tang was initially planned to be a Wu-Tang Clan group album, minus production from RZA. Raekwon later revealed that it would instead be his fifth studio album, and as originally intended, would not feature contributions from RZA. In regards to this decision, Raekwon clarified in an interview with Vibe "RZA doesn't have to be on every album. I wanted to give some other producers a chance. It's not about beef."

When Raekwon was asked about the album in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, he explained "It's not nothing derogatory towards Wu. It's just that Shaolin (i.e. Staten Island) is the place, Wu-Tang is the crew that came from that place. It's like me just going back to my history of being an emcee first, before I actually became part of Wu-Tang. I always give RZA that support as far as saying he brought Wu-Tang to the table. It was his philosophy. He picked certain dudes to be part of this group, and he said, 'This is what it's going to be called'. Before that, 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. Which is almost like how T.I. did T.I. vs. T.I.P. You're going to get sounds that relate to Wu-Tang. You're going to get sounds that relate to great Rae at his best shit, too. You're going to get a lot of animation as far as the skits are concerned. It's going to be a hot one. Everyone's going to love it."

Recording

Writing and recording for Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang began in early 2010, and finished later that year, with the album's completion being announced on December 7, 2010, on the Shade 45 Morning Show.[4] Unlike Raekwon's previous album Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... Pt. II, Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang contains more collaborations from non Wu-Tang members, such as Nas, Havoc, Black Thought, Lloyd Banks, Rick Ross, Raheem DeVaughn, and Estelle. In regards to their collaboration, Lloyd Banks explained in an interview with Vibe magazine how he had Raekwon as a guest on his song "Sooner Or Later" (from the H.F.M. 2 album), stating "I had the beat for a minute, just rocking, vibing with it. I wrote about three verses to it and the sample, the beat—everything just reminded me of the Wu-Tang sound… So I was like, it's gotta be somebody from the Wu. And I really respect what Rae's been doing recently. He killed it." Soon after this collaboration, Raekwon offered Banks a spot on the Scram Jones produced track "Last Trip to Scotland". Banks explained "Soon as I heard Raekwon's verse it was on some storytelling shit, so I already knew what I had to do with it. Rae is one of the best at that, so his verse opened up my mind. It wasn't like I had a blank beat to go off of."

Although a number of artists such as Scoop DeVille, Pete Rock, and Kanye West were reported to have worked on the album at one time or another, their contributions did not surface on the final version. In spite of Erick Sermon being inaccurately credited for production on the track "Every Soldier in the Hood", Oh No was later reported to be the song's producer.

Threads from 10 Years ago:

Raekwon - Shaolin vs. Wu Tang

Is this the long-awaited rebuttal to 8 Diagrams? Sounds like some classic fi-yah.

Raekwon and Black Thought - Masters Of Our Fate (off the new Shaolin VS. Wu-Tang album)

any idea what the "response to chessboxin' is?"

I mean the statement from their old hit to this response.

I think someone just posted this as a video response to a video of chessboxin' to get more views. At least that's what I'm guessing.

got it, thanks.

Nice to hear Black Thought on some different type of production.

Wow, Churchill never sounded so good.

ever since i heard dear god 2.0 i had a renewed anticipation for every black thought track and this one delivered

  • Now that the dust is settled, which album is better: this or 8 Diagrams?
  • How does this hold up in Raekwon's discography, especially as a follow-up to Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… Pt. II?
  • Best verse on the album? Worst?
  • Best/Worst Song?

Busta Rhymes unique music really suffered quality-wise from the commercialization of hip hop music in the 2000s

Posted: 21 Apr 2021 03:16 PM PDT

I don't know any other popular high quality 90s rapper who almost lost his whole unique style, spirit and quality at the turn of the millennium when Rap/Hip Hop became extremely successful in the mainstream. All his three 90s albums are heavy bangers, The Coming is a hot classic and you can even debate about E.L.E because it's definitely a Top 10 rap album of the late 90s. But when he dropped Anarchy in 2000 he sounded somehow different. Of course there were like three decent tracks but most were forgettable and he continued to lose his soul/character as an original MC and adapted more with the overproduced popular 2000s party/pop rap songs in Genesis and It Ain't Safe No More. Yes he was successful with his singles because it appealed more to the mainstream in the clubs but it was that Ludacris type of music. He wasn't really the one and only Busta Bust from the 90s with his energy flow and crazy/funny wordplay. He made a great comeback with The Big Bang which is very underrated: more matured and not that wild but quality-wise it could touch his 90s albums. But apart from that the progress of the commercialization made him and his music so replaceable even when he improved his fast rapping over the time. I truly think that's the reason why he's rated so low as rapper because the quality he showed in the 90s (even most of his features where dope) was incredible and he rarely showed that later in his career.

An Intro to Nigerian Rap

Posted: 20 Apr 2021 08:42 AM PDT

Disclaimer

Before I start, I want to be clear: I am not Nigerian, I'm just an American who likes some Nigerian rap and thinks it deserves more attention worldwide. I may ignore prominent artists and songs if I haven't listened to them enough, and I won't be going too deep into the context behind the music. If anyone who's more in touch with the Nigerian music scene wants to drop additional info or recommendations in the comments, go ahead.

Also, if this is too long and you just want one album to listen to, I'd say Stories that Touch by Falz. Listen to that, and if you like it check out more of his music and the featured artists, and you'll have covered a lot of this post.

Introduction

Nigeria is the biggest country in Africa by population. Its largest city, Lagos, is home to over 14 million people. And it has a music scene to match, which is making an increasing international impact. You've almost certainly heard Wizkid on Drake's One Dance, and maybe some of his other collabs. Burna Boy has gotten rave reviews from Pitchfork and been Grammy-nominated two years running (winning Best Global Music Album in 2020). Davido has worked with Meek Mill, Rae Sremmurd and Young Thug. But outside of the biggest English-speaking pop stars, it's mostly overlooked on here.

A bit of background on Nigeria's languages for those who aren't familiar: It was a British colony until it achieved independence in 1960, and English is still its official language. However, it is extraordinarily diverse, with over 500 indigenous languages. The three biggest indigenous languages are Hausa, Yoruba, and Igbo, all with over 40 million speakers. Most Nigerian rap - and everything in this post - is in English, Nigerian Pidgin, and/or one of those three languages.

English-Language Rap

For a while, English was the primary language for Nigerian rap. The group Trybesmen (Freestyle, elDee, and Kaboom) was one of the first to make waves in the late 90s, with songs like Shake Bodi (with a Pidgin chorus and English verses):

1999, the year for the demo

defending my tribe-I'm a hero like Taribo

position is one to ten, I'm sub-zero

when I represent Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo

I'm the big issue now like Clinton and Lewinsky

master of the art like Leonardo Da Vinci

In the 2000s, Modenine became known for his flow and lyrics. He's generally acknowledged to be one of the greats, but I haven't listened to a ton of his music so I can't give many specifics - it's shifted around on Spotify a fair amount which makes it hard to keep track of. Here's a more lighthearted song of his.

In the late 2000s, another challenger for the title of "best lyricist" rose to fame - M.I. Abaga. His first single was Safe which parodies various Nigerian songs, from his 2008 album Talk About It. He followed up Talk About It in 2010 with the album MI2: The Movie, which featured some of his best songs including My Head My Belle which combined lyricism with accessibility, and the masterpiece Wild Wild West on which he talks about ethnic/religious violence in his hometown of Jos:

Driving through the city thinking this is not her

She seems so strange, when did she change?

Blood on her street, smoke in her sky

Can't feel her heart beat, no hope in her eye

Orphans, coffins, bastards, caskets

Mass burials, how we gonna move past this?

M.I. has kept up his reputation as one of Nigeria's best lyricists with songs like Everything (from his mixtape Illegal Music 3) and albums like A Study On Self-Worth - Yxng Dxnzl

Another prominent English rapper of the early 2010s is Jesse Jagz, who happens to be M.I.'s brother. They've collaborated (M.I. is second, Jagz is third), but Jagz has a solid career on his own. 3rd World War features an instrumental by Femi Kuti, son of the legendary Fela. Nigerian Gangster has a kinda basic beat especially in comparison, but great rhymes:

He walks into the spot

See his pimping never stops

Cranberry and Ciroc shots chilling on them rocks

He listens for the cops, he can hear the ticking of the clocks

It's a tale of a chicken and a fox

Hands still shaking from the shock

Damn itching never stops, intuition on top

He's also gotten more melodic on songs like Redemption, Bad Girl feat Wizkid, and (happy 4/20) Burning Bush (In Memory of Hadiza Aboki).

The final rapper I'll cover here is Falz (aka the Bahd Guy) - though he features more Pidgin than the artists above, and has occasional bits of Yoruba, he's not rapping primarily in an indigenous language. His 2015 album Stories That Touch is the best place to start with his music. Falz's flow and delivery are smooth, and the beats are all solid - mostly by Sess, with a few by Spax and a couple by others. Falz is a comedian (and lawyer!) in addition to being a rapper, and his humor is evident throughout. The album contains fun jams like Soft Work and Chardonnay Music, a celebration of Nigeria with an Afrobeat-inspired instrumental in My People, love songs like Soldier, and darker bangers like Karishika (named after a Nollywood movie about a demonic woman) featuring the Igbo indigenous rapper Phyno. IMO Karishika's the best beat on the album, and the album also has a fully English-language remix of Karishika with all-new verses featuring M.I. and the duo SDC (Ghost and Tec - check out their album Palmwine Music with Spax).

Rap cat, riding through Lasgidi with my woes

Jezebels on my heels, Lord keep me on my toes

I ain't got no time to chill, you can say I'm being cold

When they see you making mils, they start coming for your soul

More recently, Falz has gotten more serious with his content. He's probably best known outside of Nigeria for his cover of This Is America, and he continued the socially conscious content on his 2019 album Moral Instruction. He was also a prominent celebrity figure in the 2020 protests which led to the abolition of the notoriously brutal Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).

Indigenous Rappers

Indigenous rappers are defined by rapping primarily in native languages - mostly Yoruba because Lagos is the hub of the music industry, but there are Igbo and Hausa rappers as well (and I'm sure there are even more, but I haven't heard them). It became prominent in the very late 2000s/early 2010s, and for a while was mostly separate from English-language rap. These days, though it's much less separate, and there are plenty of songs with both indigenous and English rappers.

Indigenous rap can be a hard sell to listeners who don't speak the languages, especially those who put a premium on lyrics. However, even if you don't understand the lyrics, there's still delivery, flow, rhymes, and beats to listen to. I hope you'll give it a shot.

First and foremost, I have to mention Dagrin (RIP), who was largely responsible for indigenous rap hitting the mainstream. His song Pon Pon Pon is nearly unmatched for its energy, and its video features a variety of scenes from Nigeria's streets. He sadly died in a vehicle accident in 2010, not long after the release of his album CEO: Chief Executive Omota (Gangster). Just a few days before his death, he recorded the freestyle If I Die which was released as a posthumous single.

Next is Olamide (aka Baddo), a Yoruba artist who is maybe the biggest right now. He came up in the early 2010s and has a very diverse style. His 2013 album YBNL (Yahoo Boy No Laptop, meaning that he's like an email scammer but without needing a computer) shows his diversity: Voice of the Street is hard street rap with an outdated beat but a relentless flow, while Stupid Love leans more into the Afrobeats pop genre (not to be confused with Afrobeat like Fela Kuti), and Ilefo Illuminati (Illuminati Swag) is melodic but dark. Over the course of the 2010s, he shifted into mostly just making Afrobeats (Story for the Gods, Motigbana), but with plenty of pure rap along the way like Rayban Abacha (from the album Baddest Guy Ever Liveth) and Eyan Mayweather (from the album of the same title). He also has a song with Falz and Davido called Bahd, Baddo, Baddest.

Another good Yoruba rapper is Reminisce, who came up around the same time as Olamide and has worked with him a lot. He's known for his deep voice and often aggressive delivery. His best song is probably Local Rappers from his 2015 album Baba Hafusa, a celebration of the success of indigenous rap which features both Olamide and Phyno. One of his earlier songs I like is Government ft. Olamide, which has a kind of annoying beat but that's just part of its incredible energy. Solo songs include 3rd World Thug Freestyle (from the album Alaga Ibile (Chairman of the Indigenous) along with Government) and Asalamalekun from El-Hadj.

We got a couple guns, but we prefer machetes

Fun awon kan to n form defender, Demichelis

Here's another one I like.

The most prominent Igbo rapper is Phyno, who began his career with the album No Guts No Glory in 2014, with the singles Man of the Year (my favorite song of his) and Ghost Mode (ft. Olamide). He also did a collab album with Olamide called 2 Kings, whose biggest song was Ladi (feat Lil Kesh). As mentioned above, he's also on Falz's Karishika and Reminisce's Local Rappers.

Misc

Those are all the artists I'm going to give particular profiles for. However, there are plenty of other random songs I like enough to mention, so I'll put them here:

Jahbless - JOOOR (Remix) - features a very wide range of artists, including elDee of Trybesmen, Ice Prince (the most commercial English rapper of the early 2010s), Reminisce, and Ruggedman (another big 2000s rapper).

Vector the Viper - King Kong (Remix) (ft. Phyno, Reminisce, Classiq, Uzi) - you'd have to speak four languages to fully understand this song. Phyno is rapping in Igbo, Reminisce/Vector in Yoruba, Classiq in Hausa, and Uzi/Vector in English.

The Faculty - We Dey Run Things - this was one of the first Nigerian rap songs I heard, so I have no idea how it holds up to anyone else but I like it.

You can say my pen's a serial killer 'cause it's murder she wrote

I'm the combination of pastis and whiskey

Like sex without protection, boy, I'm fucking risky

D'Banj - Emergency - an Afrobeats track

SDC feat MI - Dreamer - kind of in the B.O.B. style of early 2010s pop-rap

A-Q - Men Slept Jesus Wept - more recent English lyrical rap

Conclusion

This has gotten pretty long, but there really is a lot more out there. It's a really exciting and active scene. I hope you find at least one song you enjoy from this post, and maybe get more deeply into some of these artists.

Real mixtape shit. Remixing other people's beats and everything. I probably like the KLINK remix more than the original. Nice reminder of how unique Smino's style is

Hate that it's not on streaming. Otherwise it's a great mixtapes thats a nice amount to keep us busy with until the actual album comes out. Def will be in rotation for a while

We need smi+zay

His flows are stupid good, already downloaded so I can listen on Spotify without being assed to go on soundcloud

So good, Smino can flow over anything

Not many tapes/albums released this year made me go right back into it

My favorite project this year so far, looking forward to the album he's 3/3 with projects.

Very solid project. Smino is so creative with other people's beats I almost forget that it isn't the original song.

  • What are your favorite tracks? Least favorite?
  • How does this rank in Smino's discography?
  • What do you think of his decision to put out a traditional mixtape?
  • Best bars? Best beats?
  • Does he out-do the original track on any of these freestyles?
