Album : Tical 2000 : Judgement Day
Release Date : November 17, 1998
Label : Def Jam

Review :
The Wu-Tang warrior’s second solo joint is so conceptually huge, only somebody who’s been high every day for a decade could have imagined it : hip-hop album as science-fiction double-feature as celebrity parade as horror movie as multilayered masquerade as an endlessly Baroque flow of spiels and skits, hallucinatory fantasy, and killer-bee menace.

The romantic strains of Tical have been replaced by pure, sweaty sex, and Meth’s image transformation from laidback muscle to bloodthirsty cyborg (with a phone book’s worth of guest stars) just means he compacts his flow more tightly. The production is the Wu standard of berserk little loops and spare boom-bap, though RZA’s tracks are head and shoulders above those of his disciples. —Douglas Wolk
