5.0 out of 5 stars GZA BACK WITH HEAT!, August 20, 2008

By 

Wu-Tang_Assassin (California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Pro Tools (Audio CD)

After a 3 year break from his album "Grandmasters", GZA comes back harder than ever with "Pro Tools". An album consisting of 16 tracks, dope from beginning to end with bangers.

Lyrically, GZA is not even close to have fallen off. His lyrics are as sharp as ever, his music has matured and if you've listened to all of his previous work you can tell. His flow is more laid back, and similar to the flow in "Grandmasters". But there is no reason to down his flow, emcees change over the years! But lyrically, GZA is on point and would rip any lame guy popular in the game right now.

The production on the album is just nuts. My favorite beats would have to be, "Pencil", "7 Pounds", "Paper Plates", "Firehouse", "Cinema", "Life Is A Movie". In this album, you got production by Mathematics, True Master, Bronze, Black Milk, Jose Reynoso, Arabian Knight, RZA, Rock Marcy, Jay Waxx Garfield. Its good to see that 4 Wu affiliated producers took part in this album cause it makes it just that much more better.

I'm glad to hear such good music like this, considering all the garbage that is plaguing mainstream Hip-Hop at this moment in time. I recommend this album to ALL Wu-Tang fans first up, and to any real heads, you'll definitely feel this album!!! Long live WU!

My Top 5 Songs
1.Pencil
2.7 Pounds
3.Paper Plates
4.Columbian Ties
5.Life Is A Movie

5.0 out of 5 stars Coldest MC in the Game., August 31, 2008

I thank God for GZA everyday. He puts any current hip hop "star" to shame. This album is the sickest I've heard in years. It doesent sound much like liquid swords but it has the same knowledge and is just as sick. He is the coldest MC in the game period. I would like to hear 50 respond to Paper Plate without cussin, it would be a joke, but GZA can be so raw without a sticker on his case.

Pro Tools is almost certainly a better buy than most hip-hop albums out there today. More than anything, it serves as a satisfying example of a hip-hop artist who has not burnt out or sold out his craft to be an industry kingpin. Pro Tools (and Digi Snacks) are one of the best albums of the year so far.
