First off, I'm generally not a big fan of mash-ups. I think a lot of them come out corny, forced, or just a half beat off. When I heard about this Wu-Tang vs. Beatles (why they always insist on putting "vs." I don't know) project though, I was cautiously intrigued even optimistic. Lord knows the Beatles have been sampled, covered, mashed up like no other, but two of my favorite and classic groups put together must be golden, right? The overall result... eh. It starts off well, then just feels a little long. The best 10 or so songs would've been great, but with 25+ there are just too many throw ins. Plus, it doesn't even directly sample the Beatles. It samples a lot of other artists that covered the Beatles. It isn't without it's moments though like this remix of C.R.E.A.M. sampling the Beatles' "And I Love Her".
Also, if you want to download the whole album and form your own opinion, you can find it here:
