its just that this is the shit that is still relevant today , could anyone picture listening to some wack shit like lil wayne almost 20 years later raekwon's cuban linx is TIMELESS. flawless victory.
@druha10304 u can't knock wayne lyrically he goes in still and very few still do plus wayne stepped it up lyrically from his hot boyz days i can see your point with someone like wiz khalifa or gucci mane
@crezm1995 and the CD jewel case was purple too. (this generation wouldnt understand how much of a big deal this was to us, too busy downloading singles on itunes)
classic Wu-Tang will simply never be topped. cats for generations and generations to come could make it their life's goal to make some shit as ill as early Wu and it'll just never happen.
In The 90's, no one fucked wit Wu-Tang. I don't care if dey older now. If I wus big like Lil Wayne I'd feature them on my album not jus outta respect, but cause Wu-Tang is da best dat ever came out.
@Number1WuFan you'e fuckin crazy - that's the stupidest shit I ever heard - THAT'S A DISGRACE FOR HIP HOP THIS IS THE WU TANG - NOT SOME TECHNO RAPERS THAT DON'T EVEN HAVE A PROPER SNARE IN THEIR BEATS
i don't know shit about hip hop now,but i'll tell you,the early 90's was the supreme and golden age of east coast hip hop,the most defined lyrics and sound that complimented each other equally,rza actually pulled off creating a theme for each individual wu-tang member,who else can really do that?
As an American it never ceases to amaze me how Hip Hop brings so many countries together despite all our differences. Seems so many European countries feel real hip hop and it's a wonderful thing.
Wu tang forever, and yea that old school shady stuff is good too. Its crazy cuz back in the day his lyrics were sick, and as time went on he developed a great style, but the content of the lyrics went downhill. Slim shady LP all the way.
I was a fuckin kid like 9 or sumthin when this shit came out so i neva got to enjoy it new but im buyin all the late 80's early 90's shit cause thats how hip hop should be. O.C,WuTang,Master Ace,The Pharcyde,Big L. Those are the artists would should be praised and given the shine
Not fucking solja bitch who cant even pronounce WORDS rite. "wot me wok,wot me rol"
Seems like the way the games is going imgoing to be bitter about rap lol! Seems like im going be the one saying you call this music? Then when i dig in the MP3 file crate i'll pull this shit out and blow the lil' Nigga's Minds.
the wu could not do wrong 93-96. 36 chambers, tical, brooklyn zoo, only built 4 cuban linx, liquid swords, ironman. all classic. you gotta miss those days if youre a hip hop head
straight up fkn classic mad skills hip hop in the purest form this album was the closest to 36 chambers rappers these days are blind as fuk lets jus hope hip hop takes a turn for the betta man
I can't say it enuff classic material. One of the best hooks in hip-hop period. Rae really spreads his wings on this one. "For real its just slang rap democracy, here's the policy, slide off the ring plus the wallabees". What!!!!!!!!!
it wouldn't be a club song today, but this was definitely the sound of 1995. Biggie's "Unbelievable" and Mobb Deep's "Shook Ones" got played a lot too even though they're not commercial either.
thats why music was so good back then...cause they played the ill shit...at the club....on the radio....too much money going into the "club" singles...and the "girl" singles.....so the good music stays locked up.....fuck radio
