Ruined

These episodes completely ruined a great series. This final season and wu tang, in general, deserve so much better than this "fictional within semi-fictional" storytelling. The show has always found a nice balance between what's real and what's dramatic interpretation but these individuals hyperfictional episodes have dragged this entire series down.

They clearly ran out of ideas and didn't know how to complete this story without resorting to phony, overly fictional story lines revolving around the more colourful members.

I would have preferred a very short season with a dead end than multiple fake stories within a fake story.

Whack.

Episodes Like This Aren't It

This one and the Dirty Dancin episode come off so cheesy, it's like RZA and the execs on the show just wanted to make a movie but couldn't accomplish it because of the time frame of one episode. Or, I suppose you could consider these episodes creative, but... I digress, because they are just takes on old movies like Scarface and telling a fictionalized version of stories we've already seen in the show. It shows that they feel they've been through a lot, which is true, but it also just kinda makes for nothing new for the show from an artistic aspect. I do really think these two episodes made boring what otherwise is the best season of this show... I really appreciate how far they are going into the characters' lives this season, it's truly captivating, and while these two eps MAY be necessary, they're ultimately skippable.

Waste of time

Warning: Spoilers
You can skip the whole fictional story, move on to the next and you wouldn't have missed anything. That was exactly what I did. I tried and couldn't watch it. I just watched the first few clips and the ending when this charade ended and they returned to the regular settings.

Same thing goes for ODB's episode and I haven't seen GZA's one yet, but I am 100% sure it would be the same as well.

It would have been much appreciated by the fans just seeing the artist (ODB, Rae, Ghost, GZA) in the studio recording it. Even though we already know all the tracks, it would have been great to see some scenes about who's featured on which track and maybe a backstory on few verses. Some beat making process.
