Rated 6/10
Okay, this took some time to get into. The shouted refrain of “Bring da Motherfuckin’ Ruckus” is kinda a stress test at the beginning of the album for me, but the album hits a stride from Tracks 6-9 that’s hard not to like.
S/o to the fuzzy bass on the final track as well, “7th Chamber- Pt. 2”.
Like many albums, my opinion is still forming after the first listen (could I name all members of the clan? No).

How was Shame On A N***a ever given a radio friendly version? The sampling on this record is awesome. The way they break this up with different long form interviews and samples, this is more than an album. It's a manifesto. Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthing ta Fuck Wit is the start of and a high point in the entire gangsta rap genre. Its also an incredibly DARK album, especially on the break right before M.E.T.H.O.D. Man.
Rated 10/10
Absolute titan of the genre. Stone cold classic.

Cool grooves, lyrics are pretty rough, but at least they keep the misogyny to a minimum. Enjoyed the unique styles of each rapper. Lots of great (and sometimes obscure) references. Bring da Ruckus and Shame on a N***a are both really cool, but I think if I ever tried to rap along with them where anyone could hear I'd get my ass kicked. Comparing it to contemporaries, I liked the grooves on Dr. Dre's The Chronic a lot more and I felt it had a lot more variety than this album.
