Description:Wu-Tang Clan mastermind RZA's sophomore solo project comes with high expectations. Unfortunately, there's much on Digital Bullet to suggest that the RZA's beat-making skills need to be resurrected.

Unfortunately, there's much on Digital Bullet to suggest that the RZA's beat-making skills need to be resurrected. The largely sample-based vocal loops employed on "Can't Loose" and spontaneous tempo changes on "Brooklyn Babies" hint at the full brilliance once illustrated by one of hip-hop's most avant-garde producers. Similarly, "Must Be Bobby" boasts some of the off-kilter keyboard sounds that have become a trademark of his productions. However, long gone are the experimental beats and rhymes first heard on Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers). Instead, one is left with confusing tracks in which barely decipherable rapid-fire rhymes about bedding women and shooting guns are strung together. "Black Widow Pt 2" is another one of those mediocre and offensive songs where lyrical loose cannon Ol' Dirty Bastard utters juvenile profanities. While "Show You Love" is a timely ode to the full range of Wu diehards, Bobby Digital's sexcapade rhymes square off one too many times against his 5% Nation of Islam musings. Doesn't one style completely undermine the other? Well, "Build Strong" kind of sums up why RZA's once dominant career is spiralling downwards when he raps that he's "physically enslaved by the luxuries of this world/ So I behave like a man inside the grave, who's life is lost." --Dalton Higgins...

"Release Date: August 28, 2001
About two weeks ago I drove around and re-listened to this album trying to figure out why I disliked it so much in 2001. Then it hit me...the featured artists do not come with their best material in hand. Listen to Jamie Sommers' verses and tell me that it doesn't somewhat diminish the quality of the song.
Wu Bangers: "La Rumba", "Sickness", "Must Be Bobby" "
