Wu-Tang Clan - Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) POLL

This guy I rode the bus with in high school had a dubbed tape of this that was mysteriously missing "7th Chamber Pt. II" and "Protect Ya Neck," so when I finally did hear them, the former felt phony and the latter was this total revelation...so in a funny way the same experience, but not as the first time hearing these Wu guys - but having one of their greatest treasures kept hidden extra long.

waht hte fuck

?

saying 7th chamber felt "phony"

just sb'd u for that

has there ever been a 7th chamber poll? i would go pt. 2 without hesitation.

I mean, if 7th Chamber II is so definitive, how come it's not 7th Chamber I?

pt.1 goes better with killa tape intro.

"has there ever been a 7th chamber poll? i would go pt. 2 without hesitation."

There was a 36 Chambers Verse poll I think.

"Bring da Ruckus"

Shd be a poll for the best bit-between-the-tracks on this album "yeeah, torture motherfucker" et al./~

shit, there hasn't been a poll on this record yet?!?

It's okay, we had a Times New Viking poll instead! Which was totally necessary!

Clan in da front for me, Genius at his best, plus quintessential RZA beat = genius. As has been said earlier on this thread, it would change month on month.

this is a poll where i start agreeing with every post, like "oh yeah totally method man is the best"..."no wait actually bring da ruckus rules!" etc etc

i ended up voting for chessboxin just because i still vividly remember fab 5 freddy introducing it on the saturday yo mtv raps and being like woooooah dude what IS this?

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

First things first, man, you're fuckin' with the worst.

Bring out the girls and let's have a mudfight

Wu tang again? Again and again...

Swingin' through your town like a neighborhood spiiiiiderman

the wu is too slamming for these cold killin' labels
some ain't had hits since I seen aunt mabel
be doin' artists in like cain did abel
now they money's gettin' stuck to the gum under the table

This is all wrong. All wrong.

I never thought about this, and never researched their history (post out of character), but did they try to sign with Cold Chillin'??

gza was signed to cold chillin

can't believe I'm schooling pappawheelie, that's just rong

^ this album is butt btw ^

dry or juicy?

LOL

hahahahahahahahaha

^^^more like it

xpost that is kinda genius.

woops, yeah, i did own that album, and promptly lost it

literally heard it once

once is all you really need

thought this was the best pre-wu gza track

i like 'come do me,' pretty hot/ridic fake-kane track

kinda ruins the mystique of 'liquid swords' tho

"Most necessary gimmick change for a rapper" would probably be a good poll.

this really has nothing on hawaiian sophie

Someone post some of Lupe's pre-fame erstatz Lox shit.

honestly i think that song knocks

this album makes me think they should never have gone solo.

goddamn dude

Suggest this user to be banned.
Confirm.

oh stfu, ffs.

There is something to the dream-world version of a succession of unstoppably great, not-a-dud-on-them Wu group albums, containing nothing but the best cuts from all the solo records. It's basically the ideal "what if the Beatles had stayed together" scenario, applied to the Wu.

Of course then you lose all the great side tangents, digressions, and general fabric that lets the best of the solo Wu albums have their own distinctive feel. I wouldn't want to have to give up "Killah Hills 10304" or "The Stomp" or whatever...

I can't imagine why anyone would want a Wu-World other than the one we got (maybe minus a little of the post-97 flood of inferior releases and plus a bit more consistent productions on the second round of solo albums.)

I actually feel like the track works.....except for GZA. As a new jack swing joint it's pretty good, but gza isn't the right rapper for it at all. He's laconic in a very dry way, and not so smooth. Gimme Heavy D.

where's the Ladiez Love Raheem or whatever RZA's shitty solo joint was called

i dont *want* a wu-world other than the one we got, and of course its inevitable that they were going to go solo (even when 36 came out they were talking about it), but i wouldnt mind one where the wu were still as much of a real cohesive unit like on the first album. i wouldnt have minded if they all just went back to being only group members after the first batch of solo albums actually, but that would never happen for obv reasons.

going to see them on their 25th anniversary tour tonight. haven't seen the clan since 06, and they're doin all of Enter the Wu-Tang.

anybody caught this shit?
