let me start by saying gza is still to this day the nicest to come outta the wu even with all the hype bein on ghost over the past year and a half. grandmasters was a hot album, i would say 4 or 4 1/2 mics, but i always felt like gza was too smooth at times for those muggs smack you in the face beats. this remix album is perfect at showcasing the amazing lyrics from the original album over beats with a little more subtlety, but all bangers nonetheless. so, if you ever felt muggs was just too overbearing at times, like you couldn't listen to the whole album all the time cause it was too enegrgetic; this album flows better and allows you to chill. like the previous reviewer though, if you love the original for that gutterness, you may not like this one as much.

Before i could even remember i have been a fan of Gza, the first grandmasters was a classic to put on the shelf. I am still listening to the cd at the moment, i am not to pleased with the beats they remixed onto this album. Album is still great but its nothing compared to the original. Gza, Muggs, keep doin ya thing (just dont remix it lol).

The original is "untouchable"; the beats, the mood, the whole banger was off the chain. This remix is generic and has nothing special... Gza doesn't seem to flow with the beats and the whole thing sounds like it was a spar of the moment thing. Why Muggs and Gza agreed to this is beyond me. Like U2 said,"nothing like the real thing...",and the original IS the real banger!
