Free Music Notes for Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)
Free Music Review: Killer Bees Swarming
Hit: 5 Stars
Incorporating diciplined martial arts tactics including the group's name, Wu-Tang Clan, pierced through the industry with their debut album Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers). "Bring Da Ruckus" introduces the album and the clan with a slow, dark instrumentation with hints of ancient effects. Unselfishly sharing verses, four of the eight members slash through the track with lyrical wisardry. Picking up the pace on "Shame On A Nigga" is a direct blow with combining off keyed production with perfection. The Genius also known as The Gza stepped center stage on "Clan In Da Front" as the remaining members chant "...Wu, Wu, Wu..." bringing the clan to the forefront. Providing lyrical arsenal without any need for gimmicks, hook or chorus, "Wu-Tang: 7th Chamber" -Part I and II as six of the members flow back to back in unison and individualism with contents such as "...rap assassin / fastin'..." The same formula could be found on "Protect Ya Neck" with only a bridge to gap the diversity. "Can It Be All So Simple" mostly dedicated to the streets by Raekwon and Ghost Face Killer flows with finess over the looped overpowering guitar strum. The one, two kick drum accompanied by an Oriental themed keys on "Da Mystery of Chessboxin'" contributed to the LP's concept with Wu-Tang's signature sound. Continuing with "Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthing Ta F' Wit" they proved how tightly knit the group is going in any direction or angle. The title "C.R.E.A.M." soon made it to be a household slang for cash rules everything around me or better yet "...dollar, dollar bill y'all..." Member and title "Method Man" enlighten the dim surroundings with simple keys to compliment the rhaspy, energetic flow. Completing a 360 angle, "Tearz" contains tales of street life and decisions one make told by The Rza and Ghost Face Killer respectively. All production and arrangement was held down by member Prince Rakeem also known as The Rza that tailored the style and signature of the group to perfection. For its time and to date no other group with this many members come togher to create a timeless piece or classic the closest would be the earlier Three 6 Mafia material. The Rza, The Gza, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Inspector Deck, Raekwon The Chief, U-God, Ghost Face Killer and Method Man strikes as if it is retaliation, but their nitche was loosely guarded as they made an entrance. Free Music Review: Classic East coast album
Hit: 5 Stars
Not many groups can make a slammin classic album and not many can carry a whole coast on their backs but Wutang was able to do that with this Masterpiece of an album. For starters everybody shines on here like ODB(RIP) rips Shame On A N***A to pieces and has an excellent verse on Protect Ya Neck. Inspectah Deck kills it on Clan In Da Front and Protect Ya Neck and others. Method Man of course was on fire back with Method Man. Raekwon and Ghostface murders Can It Be All So Simple plus Rae's verse on C.R.E.A. M. is still potent to this day. And of course RZA perfected the beats and his rhymes were superb on Wutang Clan Aint Nothing To F*** Wit and Tearz. Standout Tracks: SHAME ON A N****, CLAN IN DA FRONT, C.R.E.A.M., CAN IT BE AL SO SIMPLE, METHOD MAN(M E T H O D Man), DA MYSTERY OF CHESSBOXIN', PROTECT YA NECK, WUTANG CLAN AINT NOTHING TO F*** WIT, TEARZ etc. Filler: NONE! Bottom Line: Wutang Clan's first album is a classic that is one of the best albums of 93. The whole album can be listened to from beginning to end without skipping tracks. Its unfortunate that they got lazy after Wutang Forever but thats life. I suggest you pick it up if you can because albums like these are hard to find. Its like somebody is intentionally trying to erase our memory of what hip hop truly is. Free Music Review: One of the greatest hiphop albums, period!

Hit: 5 Stars
their first release and it's in my opinion their best work everything after that was commercially corny...Free Music Review: The #1 most important hip-hop album of all time
Hit: 5 Stars
What more can you say about an album so miraculous and explosive? This is the real thing. Grimy, gritty, dark, violent - the way the MCs spit their verses - no one's EVER sounded this hungry, before or since. It's like getting a university education on a disc. If you missed this one, you need to repent and buy 2 copies. The gold standard by which all hip-hop albums are now judged.
