Enter the Wu‐Tang (36 Chambers)

Nuthing Ta F’ Wit

30 years on I still hear new things in every listen

Not their best work. It was fine but never made me stop and go 'OOOOH'

Reviewing the reviews of everyone who less than 3 starred. Unimpressed. Ironically, these people are probably children.

WU-TANG killa bees

One of the best rap albums of all time.

I think this is my favourite hip hop album

If I was rating based on influence or cultural significance this album would be an easy 5. But this is a personal journal for me, so I’m ranking based on enjoyment. That being said this album was LONG, every song was 5 minutes plus and it was draining, I think that’s a problem with hip hop groups, every member has a verse so it makes for long songs. It was also very same-y throughout, so I was kind of bored by it. There are some good songs that stand the test of time, but a lot is forgettable. C.R.E.A.M is a banger.

Wu-Tang Clan aint nothin' to fuck with.
Trotzdem gar nicht mal so gut

Honestly this was a weaker front half of the album than I remembered. After Mystery of Chessboxing things truly kick off.

a couple of great tracks sprinkled in among some ok tracks

I am NOT their audience, but even someone like me can recognize greatness. Killer grooves, entertaining rhymes, stuff to think about. How is this triple-platinum and I've never heard it? Moody and dark.

id love to give it a five but it would be out of respect...
great album nonetheless

As usual with this project, I'm very uneducated on hip hop and have a hard time finding stuff that's above 3* for me. I recognize the icons that WTC are but still this is 2* for me.

Okay background music maybe. The music is good but rap vocals are just not something I enjoy.

Good album, but I don’t click with it like I do with other golden age hip hop albums. I’ll be sure to keep listening to it though.

I have always loved this album. Great hip hop, A little bit samy after a while hence a 3/5

Favourite song: CREAM
Least favourite: Clan in de front
Album artwork: I wouldnt hang it up at home

I wasn't blown away by any of the individual efforts from Wu Tang members that we've had yet, so I wasn't really expecting to love this either. But the whole seems to be greater than the sum of its parts, because this was pretty good.

I actually enjoyed this much more than I thought I was going to.

Though frequently at a loss as to what the gentlemen are trying to tell me, the flow of the rhymes, the beats, and the way that Kung Fu movies are intermixed, make the entire thing soooooo much better than similar innercity rap albums.

... and I learned how to properly pronounce GZA and RZA... Fo-SHZA!

Absolute hip hop masterpiece, huge ar the time and has aged well too, so much better than the west coast gangster rap from the same era.

I'm not going to argue that this is the greatest hip hop album ever made, but I'm also not going to argue against it. This album changed everything. It was grimy, it was dirty, it was chaotic, it was layered, it was nerdy, it was SO FUCKING COOL. It was life in New York on the ground level, in a voice never heard in such a way. It was The Wire in aural format. It was, and continues to be as influential an album as has ever been created, a seminal piece of art, a nearly flawless masterpiece.
