Maverick hip-hop producer the RZA, who lately goes by the name of Bobby Digital, is so prolific he could probably release an album a week for a year straight and still have enough demos and thick analog beats left over to fill a few box sets. Unfortunately, the Wu crew may be too blunted to distinguish between the good, the bad, and the just plain ugly. So we get yet another jam-packed Killa Bees compilation — this one’s got a full CD plus a bonus disc — outfitted with plenty of filler and the occasional gem.
The first single, "Killa Beez," features full-fledged Wu members Inspectah Deck and U-God rapping with Bobby Digital and his patented off-kilter, lopsided, and unerringly interesting rhyme style. But then you’ve got "Dancing with Wolves," which features the hardcore and camouflaged Killarmy expressing their general disdain for the world around them for the umpteenth time; Wu-Tang 10th man Cappadonna getting lost among a handful of other up-and-comers on "Spit That G"; and track titles — "Spend Money," "Hatin’ Don’t Pay," and "Bluntz, Martiniz, Girlz & Gunz" — that seem too easy and mundane to sport the Wu-Tang phoenix logo. Aside from a rare ODB sighting on "Doe Rae Wu," the only notable moments are on the bonus disc, which has some unreleased Bobby Digital tracks, including a cut with Isaac Hayes ("Odyssey") and a remix of the club banger "La Rhumba" with special guest Fat Joe.
