Next weekend, on April 24, students at Columbia will celebrate Bacchanal, their annual spring concert. Three star performers—Ghostface Killah, glam rockers of Montreal, and Wiz Khalifa—will team up on the campus’s Low Plaza in Morningside Heights to kick off the party. According to The Columbia Spectator, budget restrictions have not hampered plans for fun: this year, three artists are somehow performing instead of the usual two. Also, the event is slated for an evening start instead of its usual afternoon beginning...
...lyric, slotted into the middle of “Wu Massacre’s” first single, “Our Dreams,” sets the tone for this release by three of the Wu Tang Clan’s most well-known members: Method Man, Ghostface Killah, and Raekwon. However, this is no mere return to the 1990s Wu formula of steady beats and stripped down samples overlaid with brutally compelling raps. Instead the album represents a boldly dynamic approach...

Most importantly, it seems like they have managed to successfully fuse each of their three highly successful musical visions and their most irresistible elements.

This release should leave members...
...These accounts are admittedly brutal, but the combination of the evocative story-telling style and the somewhat fantastical content creates an enthralling scene.But Raekwon couldn’t have pulled off a 22-track album like this one on his own. Credit is due to Tony Starks, aka Ghostface Killah, who contributes his indefatigable charisma and lyrical wit to about a third of the album’s tracks. “Penitentiary” and “Gihad” are two of his better cameos, the former featuring a seamless back and forth between Raekwon as prisoner...
