ALBUM REVIEW: RAEKWON'S F.I.L.A Fly International Luxury Art
I'm not even sure the title of this album makes any sense but that's okay because there's not a single minute of this album worth listening too. I can't quite understand why Raekwon has been the most vocal Wu member when it comes to criticizing the production on the Wu last two albums and yet he's one of the guys bringing the least amount of heat. I'm trying to figure out what cut on this record made Rae say "They're going to love this on tour" or "they're going to bang this in the clubs". I can only wonder how an emcee who calls his own shots came to release such a mediocre project. It's dedication to the malaise left this reviewer feeling like I had attempted to drown myself with a wet sweater.
With F.I.L.A Rae has essentially made an album filled with songs that would be the 9th best song on a good album. So for all of you who wake up thinking you need to listen Wisdom Body on repeat for three weeks straight, this is for you.
