I hate to quote Pitchfork, but really I think this paragraph pretty much articulates my thoughts on WU-MASSACRE:
The limitations of that turnaround are unmistakable on Wu-Massacre. The three stars appear on a total of three songs together, and the padding they needed to push the album beyond CD-single status is obvious from the credits alone: two skits, guest verses from nearly every Theodore Unit B-teamer (Sheek Louch sorta counts at this point), and three remakes. All to account for about 30 minutes of music.
I mean, yeah the brevity and unfinished sound was certainly a major complaint for me. But as they pointed out, the album is credited to Meth, Ghost & Rae... that was the major selling point. That's WHY we wanted this album. But Meth, Ghost & Rae really only completed 3 songs together. Then Def Jam had them add some filler to those 3 songs until it ALMOST hit the half-hour mark and called that shit a day. Perhaps it would be nice to actually someday hear a Meth, Ghost & Rae album that is a full album of those 3 together.
