Enter The Wu Tang (36 Chambers) - Wu-Tang Clan

Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) is the 1993 debut album from New York rappers The Wu-Tang Clan. Consisting of 9 members rap had never seen or heard anything like the Wu-Tang at the time this was released. The RZA produced the full album himself by using mixtures of classic soul samples with clips from kung-fu movies, making menacing beats that showed the grittiness of the performers raps in full glory, with cheap studios and cheap equipment used ...
...another 10/10 album for me, Enter the Wu-Tang really opened the flood gates up in rap music, taking the underground sound into the mainstream and inspiring 100's of rappers since it's release. This should be in any rap fans collection.

Review of Enter The Wu Tang (36 Chambers) - Wu-Tang Clan

"Enter The Wu-Tang" (36 Chambers) came out in 1993 as the debut album from the Staton island Hip Hop crew, Wu-Tang Clan. The crew who consisted of U-God, Inspectah Deck, ODB (deceased), Ghostface Killah, GZA, Method Man, RZA, Raekwon and Masta Killah were groundbreaking as they broke through with a hardcore underground sound to re-mould the way that East Coast Hip Hop would be done thereafter. 1. "Bring Da Ruckus" Bringing the high-quality from ...
...from the group which gets them coming out with some of the most hardcore material to really put an impact on listners who perhaps wouldn't expect to be hit with such in-your-face raps from four of the MCs, and rough beats from RZA. **Five Stars** 2. "Shame On A N***a" ODB is the first that you hear from for this on, and with his gravelly voice, you have to take notice as he comes with unorthodox words, which range greatly in its cntent and don't ...

Review of Enter The Wu Tang (36 Chambers) - Wu-Tang Clan

For seasoned rap observers like myself the glory days of this particular genre of music was the three year period 1988 to 1991. This was the birth if "gangsta" rap and the mellow, polar opposite "DAISY Age" murmurings of De La Soul and PM Dawn. Then Ice Cube left NWA and went solo, NWA split up, Dr Dre discovered Snoop Dogg, and the pioneers of rap in the late 80s failed to find their voice and repsond successfully to the poppier direction in which ...
...came a crew of eight random individuals so effective as solo units and incendiary and explosive as a group, that rap music took a long overdue slap on the arse upon their very arrival. They were the Wu-Tang Clan and lined us thus: The RZA (pronounced Rizza), Method Man, U-God, Rebel INS, Shallah Raekwon, Ghostface Killer, Ol' Dirty Bastard and The GZA (pronounced Jizza). On the next album they would be joined full time by Inspecktah Deck and on a ...

Review of Enter The Wu Tang (36 Chambers) - Wu-Tang Clan

I simply cannot believe that this album is appearing in bargain buckets or on reduced shelves. It is so good it hurts! Back in 1993 Hip Hop was changing tack. New York was always home of what is now the biggest selling type of music on the globe, but the West Coast was taking over thanks firstly to the gangsta rap of NWA then the G-Funk of Dre, Snoop Warren G etc. But straight outta Staten Island NYC came the clan. They first dropped a 12inch single ...
...a debut single can be this mature is hard to figure out. The clan were 8 strong and all eight have their segment on this song, and it was the perfect introduction to their different MCing styles. Then we saw the album and every song makes you gasp. The opening track "Bring Da Ruckus" is probably the best opening track in the history of music and perfectly describes what was to follow. But in addition to these two tracks there are eleven more to ...

Review of Enter The Wu Tang (36 Chambers) - Wu-Tang Clan

What can you say about the Wu?........they are comming though and the outcome is critical...This Album, totaly redefined the way hiphop was heading. you get lazy rapping from Puff Daddy, and commercialised from Will Smith, but as Dre, Eric B and Rakim, sugar hill gang all go down in history as shaping hip hop. This Album, when Hip hop was looking a bit sorry for itself, blew up the whole of the industry, what was left???....just raw beats from RZA, ...

Review of Enter The Wu Tang (36 Chambers) - Wu-Tang Clan

With the hip hop industry heading on a downward spiral into obscene amounts of guns and violenve lead by the west coast g-funk, rap was becoming some what, over the top. But then "Wu-Tang Clan" stepped on the scene, a group of 9 rappers with fresh and hard hitting sounds. "Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)" is un doubtedly one of the most influential rap albums of all time, with the razor sharp production of the RZA and the flowing rhymes of such ...
...not to be amazed by this album. It can hit u with in your face beats and banging tunes such as "Bring Da Ruckus" but around the next corner there will be a slow peaceful sounding melody, "Can It Be All So Simple", "Cream". One thing that will shock u is the variety of styles within "the clan", where as "N.W.A" and other such rap super groups follow the leader with similar rhyming patterns and flows, each member of "Wu-Tang" sounds completely different ...

Review of Enter The Wu Tang (36 Chambers) - Wu-Tang Clan

This was the album that announced the arrival of the Wu-Tang clan and begun a global phenomena. At the time it was like nothing else out there with the Wu’s kung fu imagery (and samples) and masked faces. The track “Method Man” was the first to blow up but it is for classics like “C.R.E.A.M.” (cash rules everything around me) and the Gladys Knight sampling “Can It All Be So Simple” that this album will be remembered. The production is all RZA, and ...

Review of Enter The Wu Tang (36 Chambers) - Wu-Tang Clan

THis is the first album from wu-tang clan and in my opinion is the best origanally an underground album there first song was tearz (No.11) this album shows you what wu-tang are all about there style is unique and the members of the clan are good rappers the members consist of Rza,Gza,Ghostface Killah,Inspectah Deck,Raekwon,U-God,Method Man,OL'Dirty Bastard And Masta Killa And also Cappadonna but he is on the W. Most of the song's on this album are ...
...the Shaolin Sword Side which is not as good the best song's on the album are Da Mystery Of Chessboxin',C.R.E.A.M., METHOD MAN and Protect Ya Neck all the other song's on the album are also good but these are the song's that stick out for me. If you would like to buy this album it's available from music zone for £6.99 and also from hmv for a simular price. The Wu-Tang Clan will be hopefully realeasing a new album soon titled Wu-Chronicles 2 And should ...

Review of Enter The Wu Tang (36 Chambers) - Wu-Tang Clan

Finally a decent rap group with a world of decent hits, there has not been a group like that for a while now. Sucsess lies in numbers, Wu-tang have about 10 members and are very sucsessfull. Sucsess lies in not realiseing any tracks, Wu-Tang havn't realised any tracks and are a superb rap group. Their first album is like a big fat pay check for all the members and still continues to sell. Due to word of mouth 5 of my Rap friends have gone out and ...
...good and there is no poncey intos, "Public service anouncemnts" Skits, Inserst or any of that. It is solid, ground breaking Rap at its best. Well done also to the members who have gone of and stated their own sucsessfull solo carers, Ol' Dirty, Inspecter Deck, Reakwon. The Method man. This is well worth the £10 asking price. ...

Review of Enter The Wu Tang (36 Chambers) - Wu-Tang Clan

The Wu-tang clan Released this album to a mass critical acclaim back in 1993. At the time hip hop was all about the emerging west coast scene, with artists like Dr Dre and Snoop Doggy Dogg dominating the scene. This was all about to change when the members of the Wu dropped this album. The album was produced by the Rza, a full time Wu-tang member and featured the rapping skills of the Gza, Ol Dirty B'stard,Inspecter Deck, U-God,Ghostface Killa,Raekwon, ...
...to use a compressed sound for beats and then add in some sound samples from old martial arts movies. These samples are a bit bizzare in places but I feel compliment the mood of the album(whick is pretty dark, by the way) very well. 36 Chambers also spawned the first hit for the collective C.R.E.A.M. or Cash Rules Everything Around Me, Which went on to introduce them to a wider audience. This particular track is often mentioned when "greatest hip ...

Enter the Wu-Tang is a great album as it portrays all the Wu-tangs charcatoristics and all there styles. It gives the listen an idea of how Wu-Tang are related to Shaolin and other Martial Arts. The Album features all the Clan and there are quite a few decent track. one good track is Tearz that tells a story where a security guard accidently gets killed. Clan in da front is also a great track featuring ghost face killer. The Method Man track is also ...

Review of Enter The Wu Tang (36 Chambers) - Wu-Tang Clan

Oh the good ole days when the wu had their distinct shaolin sounds. Where have they gone these days. The Wus first Lp is truly one of Hiphops true classics. It added a lot to the game, grimey beats, excellent flowing wordplay and flow. This mix of hiphop fused with shaolin culture was a true breakthorugh, refreshing rap. The clan consists of leaders, RZA and GZA, and the clan are Masta Killa, Method Man, ODB, U-God, Inspectah Deck, Ghostface Killah, ...
...which are very funny. Each is given their chance to shine. The albums best tracks are definately CREAM (cash rules everything around me) with its elegant piano loop and Protect Ya Neck. Remember this LP is from 1993, it still sounds as good as ever. Buy now. ...

...album with redman together. Enter the Wu-Tang is w very old school album, but i think the raps and lyrics are very modern and very very cool. The Beats are not modern. Wu-Tang is a own Clan, there are no features from Gueststars on th album. Its better so i think. The Best Songs on the Album is 7th Chamber and Da Mystery of Chessboxin. The second Wu Album came 1997 (Wu-Tang Forever). Its a very other Style, but its cool too. 2000 came the third ...

With the release of the Wu-Tang Clans third album, the W, its interesting to see that their debut album, 'Enter the 36 Chambers' still adorns the shelves of music shops worldwide, and is still very popular. Being the 3rd album I ever bought, 36 Chambers was definately a good choice, and despite years of listening to it, its still my favourite album. The Wu-Tang Clan combine excellent wordplay and battle their way through the album, which is laced ...
