Criticism

In general, The W was very well received by the hip- hop world and in many places rated as the best ever album of Wu -Tang Clan. Stefan Johannes Berg wrote on laut.de: " This 60-minute piece of work, the Heads on both sides of the Atlantic divide as Moses the sea went lately all rap beat hobbyists on the search for the fattest sound and the cleanest production so. consists of RZA, producer and head of the Wu family, a rough, living piece of Hip Hop soulful and feeling contrary. He leads the the " Ghostdog soundtrack " the path now taken consistently. Back to the Roots. "
