For years and years I was one of the Wu's most vocal supporters. But as much as I still love their first four albums, my entire opinion on them as a group has been damaged so severely over the last couple years that it's depressing to even think about them in the context of Tribe.
I used to follow and rep every member on social media, but after years of seeing pathetic posts peddling new "Wu tang brand" products (most of which are embarrassingly childish, like rolling papers and "dynamite sticks") I can't stomach it anymore.
To give you an idea of just how much my opinion of them has changed, consider this: I haven't even bothered to listen to a snippet of a track Martin S. has teased from the "new" album. Not only because it represents the greatest political abomination in American history, but also because I just don't fucking give a shit anymore.
Yet I spent years between albums waitjng desperately for a glimpse of what would become 8 Diagrams back in the day.
Compare that to how an 8 second snippet of "Father Stretch My Hands pt.1" made me lose my fucking grown ass mind for weeks, and you can see how completely the group has fallen from favor.
