iTunes Review

Enter the Wu-Tang changed hip-hop, and even today it’s hard to believe an album so uncompromising and uncommercial could go multi-platinum. Wu-Tang leader RZA assembled the best MCs from around his home turf of Staten Island (including his cousins Ol’ Dirty Bastard and GZA, and his roommate Ghostface Killah) and with their help orchestrated a lean 12-track album that redefined New York rap. “Protect Ya Neck” and “Bring da Ruckus” are muddy and mangy, like something hatched in a subterranean bunker. At the time, no one was used to hearing nine rappers on one album, but each member had such a distinct and forceful persona that Enter the Wu-Tang immediately felt like a cast of all-stars, not a collection of unknowns. The group was renowned for an arcane lexicon of slang and reference points (many drawn from the group’s love for kung-fu, crime, and exploitation movies they had watched as kids roaming Times Square), but songs like “C.R.E.A.M.,” “Can It Be All So Simple,” and “Tearz” also presented poignant and truthful pictures of young black life in the projects of New York.

Customer Reviews

Seriously, less than 5 stars is rediculous!!!

This album changed my whole scope on hip-hop! 13 years old, popping the tape in the deck, hanging on every word, thinking, FEELING the energy, the rawness, the essence of REAL MCing. I miss this. Hip Hop isn't dead, but hip hop just isn't as raw and unrelenting as the GODS were and still could be. These young patty-cake wannabees need to listen to these killa bees and see why alot of people who grew up in what is probably the best decade of hip-hop, the 90's, say that hip-hop is in a state of flux right now. I still love Hip-Hop but not crap like "A Bay Bay" & "Laffy Taffy" and ish. Oh well, sorry to get off the subject. This album is absolutely on point from begining to end and I can't wait for the 8 Diagrams album in October.

WU 4 LIFE

This album is amazing. No one was making hip-hop like this in '93, in fact, no one is now. Whenever I listen to this, it brings me back to when you had to have talent to be in hip-hop. My favorites are: Bring Da Ruckus, Clan In Da Front (GZA is sick), 7th Chamber, Da Mystery of Chessboxin' (the underrated Masta Killa makes his only appearance on the album w/ the last verse on this track), CREAM, & Protect Ya Neck. I'll always support the WU & I can't wait for 'em to drop the 8 Diagrams album.

One of the best Rap albums ever

This is the greatest rap album. No other group will ever beat this.

Emerging in 1993, when Dr. Dre's G-funk had overtaken the hip-hop world, the Staten Island, New York-based Wu-Tang Clan proved to be the most revolutionary rap group of the mid-'90s — and only partially because of their music. Turning the standard concept of a hip-hop crew inside out, the Wu-Tang Clan were assembled as a loose congregation of nine MCs, almost as a support group. Instead of releasing one album after another, the Clan were designed to overtake the record industry in as profitable...
