Wu-Tang’s secret weapon sneaks in another gem.

  • We Say...

    If the Wu were the '55 Dodgers, Masta Killa would be Jim Gilliam: he may be the cat you overlook when you're trying to recite the lineup from memory, but he still anchored down the infield. Masta Killa's laidback, EPMD-esque flow is the exact opposite of Ghostface Killah's intensity, and Made in Brooklyn plays out like a less-epic cousin to Ghostface's Fishscale: MF Doom beats ("E.N.Y. House"), a Pete Rock joint ("Older Gods Part 2") and guest stars Raekwon and Ghost killing it ("It's What It Is"). The strength of this record is that it fits the classic Wu-Tang production style in a way that rewards diehard fans, with a handful of up-and-comers (PF Cuttin, Whyze, Bronze Nazareth) filling RZA's shoes respectably. Made in Brooklyn makes for solid party music that doesn't demand too much attention, though the weeded-out, Al Green-fueled mantra "Pass the Bone (Remix)" definitely does.
