Product Description
Amazon.ca
This debut revolutionized hip-hop (and launched half a dozen solo careers), as much for The RZA's raw barrage of off-kilter, off-key loops and sound effects as for its elliptically violent lyrics. Martial arts--at least as they appear in kung fu movies--are the Wu-Tang Clan's favorite metaphor, but they're also the organizing principle of the group, a crowd of eight rappers, each with his own way-out-there "fighting style." They created their own little self-contained culture, with its own symbols and shifting identities, and let listeners figure it out for themselves. Unless you're willing to immerse yourself in its world, it can be baffling and a little dry, but its aggression and originality are undeniable. --Douglas Wolk

If you are debating on ordering this album, then chances are you are familiar with the artist, the legendary Wu-Tang Clan. This is a "must have" hip hop album for your collection. I originally owned the album on CD when it was released in 1993, but listening to it again on vinyl is a whole different experience. Great price from Amazon as well, there's no reason not to buy it!
Format:Audio CD
this album is one of the classic albums of time. ask any hip-hop head, ask any rap head, ask anybody. wu-tang's "Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers" is ill beyond recognition. very few albums have come close to this album. the lyrics and the flows are perfect. it is completely what New York/East Coast rap is all about, rugged, rough, raw, and dirty. this album is so grimey, it's so raw, unstudio-fied. the sound and quality of this album is what true hip-hop should sound like. there is no quality remasterings and that's the way we like it. wu's wordplay on this album is truely a work of art, they truly were hungry, VERY hungry. their singles "C.R.E.A.M." and "Portect Ya Neck" aren't commercially sugarcoated either. "Protect Ya Neck" is one ill single with excellent flow by the W. another song to shine a light on is "Da Mystery of Chessboxin'" every hip hop head, or anyon trying to get into hip hop has to listen to this album. it is grimey sounding as far quality comes, vocally, lyrically. this is an unpolished, diamond-in-the-dirt classic wu album. it's album like this that made hip-hop cross over to suburban areas and spread across America like the AIDs epidemic.
Format:LP Record
Just an amazing Hip Hop album, if you love Hip Hop and you have a record player you have absolutely no excuse to not own this Album.
