No Said Date is the 2004 (see 2004 in music) solo debut of Wu-Tang Clan member Masta Killa, an American hip hop musician. With dark and dramatic beats and samples from martial arts films (most notably, the song Masta Killa which featured samples by Bruce Lee), the album has a sound reminiscent of Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) as it features all nine of the original Wu-Tang Clan members. Prefixmag.com gave the album a 7.0/10 rating saying: "No Said Date hearkens naturally back to the independent glory of 36 Chambers in its recognizable beat-smithing and refreshing flow from one of Wu-Tang's least-known members."[1]

Many Wu-Tang Clan fans deemed the album a personal classic as it received fair reviews.[2] Rapreviews.com gives it a 9/10 as reviewed by James Corne stating: "No Said Date is a near classic album that will hold a place in any listener's archive for a long time to come."[3] Hiphopsite.com claims that the album "ought to be enough to satisfy all but the most demanding Wu-Tang fans. And in a time where hip-hop hasn't seen a legitimately classic, well-rounded album in years, No Said Date holds up as a solid, entertaining and overall satisfying debut."[4]

Masta Killa was the last member of the Clan to release a solo LP.

There is an official video for the song Old Man, which was ODB's last music video appearance before his untimely death.
