![]() INTROI'm usually willing to let Wu-Tang albums slide with their intros (with the exception of disc one of Wu-Tang Forever), but if you go with the assumption that nobody knows who or what a Killah Priest is, ideally the intro should address that issue immediately, which this does not. His quasi-religious hyperviolent babble has never sounded so refreshing.Anyway.1. ![]() Of course, this is the only Priest album which embraces cameos by various Wu members and his Sunz Of Man brethren beat-wise, this is his most accessible project, with Wu-Element 4th Disciple providing over half of the instrumentals. Other rappers that were once in the fold that would have absolutely no career without the Wu's brand (.cough.Dom ugh.) are still too stubborn to admit that they were given a leg up on the competition.)But when was released, Killah Priest was all about the Wu (their logo even appears on the album cover), and, as a result, it remains his biggest-selling album to date. So for Killah Priest to publicly condemn the Wu-Tang Clan amounts to blasphemy in my book. And he was even given access to the group's fanbase: I would bet money that every single person that ventured out and bought in 1998 (and it went gold, so there were a lot of you) was a Wu-Tang fan that already owned all of the other, 'regular' albums, and felt this disc would be a natural extension of their CD collection. Killah Priest was granted a unique opportunity because his friends became suddenly successful, and out of loyalty they gave him a shot at something that it may have taken him years, if not decades, to do on his own, and that's if he was successful. Let me broaden this example a bit: there are literally millions of people in the world that got their jobs or their position in life because a friend helped them out in a time of need. ![]() But the truth is that there are literally hundreds of thousands of underground rappers in the world that spit the same quasi-religious hyperviolent babble that Priest excels at, but none of them will be releasing any successful albums anytime soon. (In recent years, he's eaten those words and has been welcomed back into the fold.)Judging by some of his cameo appearances and his debut solo album, I have no doubt that Killah Priest might have forged a career on his own. (I mean that last statement with every fiber of my being.) But for whatever reason (probably monetary: we all know how The Rza allegedly works by now, right?), Killah Priest spent a good chunk of his career shunning the Wu-Tang logo he didn't just try to crawl out of the Clan's shadow, he actively told anyone who would listen that he was a solo artist and would have been successful even if the Wu-Tang Clan had never existed. He was present in the studio when the Clan was recording their own debut, Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), and he was taken under Gza/Genius's wing, which netted him a solo song on one of the best albums in the history of music, Liquid Swords. He was ( is?) a member of the first Wu-Tang affiliate group to release an album, Sunz Of Man. Killah Priest is part of the Wu-Tang family tree, although that is a generalization that he would probably not admit to. Though it had almost zero commercial potential, long time Wu-affiliate Killah Priest dropped his debut record, Heavy Mental, in 1998.Priest made no attempt to fit in with the rap largess at the. ![]() KILLAH PRIEST HEAVY MENTAL ZIP DOWNLOADKillah Priest download high quality complete mp3 albums.
