...Murano-glass chandeliers into the leopard-print VIP room. They're in search of a $23,200 shimmering Swarovski crystal?covered dress that's been photographed in all the fashion magazines. The problem is, the dress has been sold. Addis slides open a leopard-print panel to display a full-length, polar-white Mongolian lamb coat ($10,260) that might please instead.

But after hearing the follow-up full-length “Dreddy Kruger Presents Think Differently Music: Wu-Tang Meets the Indie Culture,” listeners may be forced to admit that despite momentarily flashes of brilliance, the Wu will never return. The compilation comes off as a soulless, unfocused mixtape, scraping the bottom of the underground rap barrel.Why does this...
