I'm not comparing the level of dopeness of those releases to any of Lil' Wayne's shitty, bi-weekly triple disc mixtape releases. My gripe is that Raekwon is bitching about RZA's musical direction on the new Clan album, but he's rapped over some hot garbage on all three Vaticans, plus his last 2 studio albums. Raekwon as an MC is a ridiculous wordsmith who's WAY WAY WAY better than Lil' Wayne. I'm just saying both Rae and Wayne lack quality control when it comes to mixtape material. On the last Vatican mixtape, of the 20+ tracks, I've replayed about 7. I’ve listened to all 3 vaticans.

(I bought the bootleg because "2000 B.C." was delayed FOR-EV-ER and still went out and bought the retail version because I was a Stan like that.) And yet....no one gave a shit. The same thing was kinda true about Ras Kass' "Rasassination" except he was trying to go platinum. I think Canibus realized people didn't want to hear him rhyming from the perspective of an egg reaching an embryo while R&B chicks whaled on the hook--we just wanted to hear him talk about 5,000 degrees of microwattage fiber optics. We were dorks. Doug:

I'm completely numb to it now and that's sad. I'll tell you how Southland Tales is...in a few hours. Zilla...Rock, rock on! One.

I'm just as broke as the next man, so I don't hate on people that wanna save $20, but COME ON--these were both great products. I give the movie a 7.5/10 and the album 8.5/10. A-One:

I wanted to see it in the theatre for pretty much all the same reasons you listed. My girl kept mentioning that she coulda seen the movie 3 days prior cuz her mom bought the bootleg so I had to comment. She got defensive. I avoided the bootleg of American Gangster (the film).
