Tical The Prequel is subpar at best. When I hear prequel i'm thinking the method man has gone back to his early 90's wu-tang roots. i was wrong. His rhymes were unwitty and his voice didn't have his distinguished gruff to it. the beats were recycled same ol' same ol'. the album had way too many guests to make up for everything else. but some of the songs did manage to bring the album closer to the light at the end of the tunnel. songs like What's Happenin', The Motto, The Turn, Afterparty, and Crooked Letter I, gives the album the Wu the fans have been looking for. Most notably The Turn. Meth's and Raekwon's old Wu-Chemistry comes back with a venegence on a RZA beat! the lyrics are as sharp as a liquid sword (old wu-refrence for the fans.) Method Man's attempt to keep his career alive in modernday materialistic hip-hop goes flat. Some say the wu-tang clan was ahead of their time, if they were to be introduce to the world now, i would say its about time. but Method Man is just trying to fit in with today's kids and i just have to hang my head and say, "its a damn shame."
