Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Iconic wu tang

11/7/23. Thanks to Chappelle, have listened to this countless times and still consider it a classic. Timeless beats, production, and lyric delivery.

That's good music!

Classic

Timeless

This is the stuff of legends.

Launched an empire. The most unique sound of its time.

Groundbreaking hip hop. This record has ENERGY. The skits drag on a bit and focus a little too much on intimidation/braggadocio. But that is completely forgivable due to the sheer amount of hits. Bring Da Ruckus, C.R.E.A.M., Method Man, and Protect Ya Neck will regularly appear on your best of the 90s hop hop playlists. Great rhymes and great lines. This album doesn't let up. Fire front to back. Wu-Tang Clan ain't nothin to fuck with.

WU

10/10 (even the skits are decent!) Fave song: "Da Mystery of Chessboxin" production, vocals, lyrics, all come together in a perfectly unified front that is almost impossible to imagine 9 different people sustaining for an entire album

If you listen to hip hop, you absolutely need to listen to this album. Every contributor has the talent to succeed singularly. As a group, this material is historical.

Amazing hip-hop record. Goes extremely hard. The founding records of Hip-hop as we know it today. 5/5

sooo fireeee

Best Song: Shame On A Nigga. I just love the rhythm of Method Man's part on this track. Worst Song: Clan In Da Front. It kind of felt like an intro to a song that never came. Overall: Iconic, this album is absolutely jam-packed. It feels crowded in the best way, where no matter who is on the mic it seems like everyone else is waiting just to the side, eager to jump on.

Charged by the system for murdering the rhythm. 1993 exoticness. Jacques Cousteau could never get this low. Super cool and very 30 years ago. What always confused me about Gangsta Rap is that all the songs are about how cool and dangerous the author is, and how he can tell you the sickest story ever, but he never does. And then we get Lo-Fi Hip-Hop Beats to Study and Relax to. But indeed, Wu-Tang Clan ain't nothing to fuck with.

Spittin straight fire bars. Wu-Tang Forever 👐🏻

So good!

Sick af

Might be the best hip hop album ive listened to. All killer no filler. Incredible how much it holds up. Everyone is on their best game and the beats are groovy asf while not distracting from the lyrical complexity.

Simply one of the greatest rap albums ever made. From production to lyrics, very few albums top this one

Arguably the definitive 90s rap album. A true classic that never gets old. 5 Stars

Great Album,so Many good Tracks.It got a Raw Sounds that not completely my thing but the energy is infectious and the beats are great.Not a Bad Song on it.with like four complete bangers.

One of the best album of all time.

Masterpiece

One of the best

Favorite song: Bring Da Ruckus Least favorite: Wu Tang: 7th Chamber One word: cream

A classic, one of the best and most influential hip hop albums ever.

WU TANG WU TANG WU TANG WU TANG

Lots of classics and hits from wutang on this album. Easy to see why it's one of the greats and why it's so revered today. Love it.

Disco Classic. Long songs. Sounds like if Rappers delight was the original song

Bring the mofo ruckus

Classic hip hop.

Got me into rap. No bad tracks in here, excellent lyrics and talent from the Wu-Tang. The confluence of styles and voices only makes the whole thing better. Amazing beats as well.

True Classic

2nd best rap album of all time right behind Illmatic.

Don't even need to listen to it because I listen to this masterpiece every week or so. An instant classic, legendary style and flow, Bobby Digital with some grimy innovative production. Something that had never been seen before.

Hip hop classic

10/10

Classic NYC grit, laced with venomous bars!!

Classic. Awesome.

Album exists outside of rates & opinion.

Dope

Reminded me a lot of IAM

All day a 5. One of the best hip hop albums ever

The 90's were such a gold mine for absolutely spectacular rap music. It is really hard to pick just one rap album for the best of that decade. But 36 Chambers is undeniably a contender. Immediately from track one, the Wu-Tang Clan comes at you with an energy unlike what other groups were providing at the time. Which is why their impact is still felt today, and also why they are one of, if not the most, acclaimed and recognizable hip-hop collectives of all time. The only way I can describe the experience of listening to this album all the way through is like being circled by a group of 9 men, and having them pass you around and take turns beating the shit out of you while some guy is making beats out of it in the background. One member of the group goes, and then the next one picks up immediately where the other left off to continue the beating. It's intense, and oftentimes they speak about extreme violence, like on "Method Man", where they just list off a bunch of different torture methods in the intro skit. And this lyrical content mixes perfectly with RZA's style of beats. I find that the melodic sampled bits of the songs often sit back in the mix and create a type of ambiance, while the drums are pushed to the front. The drums also sound as if all of the high-end was cut out. Sometimes the kicks are hard to hear because of this choice. RZA and Wu-Tang in general are known for their martial arts movie influences and samples, and I like that sometimes the sample is just clicking and clacking of swords colliding as a percussive element, or the yells of people getting killed. Really, the most appealing aspect of the group was their chemistry in the music. They bounced off of each other so effortlessly. Songs like "Protect Ya Neck" or "Wu-Tang: 7th Chamber" work so well because they feature nearly every member, and they are just all taking turns speaking their mind. This album is just another one of those quintessential rap albums every person exploring the genre needs to hear at some point. Similarly to its east-coast brother Illmatic, 36 Chambers put you right on the streets of New York in the 90's.

stone cold classic

Cash Rules Everything Around Me.

Easily the best example of a hip hop collective to date. You can tell that each of the members try to one-up each other, which results in each member having witty, memorable bars & top tier lyricism. RZA’s beats ties it all together creating a rough gritty vibe. Masterpiece.

This album is incredible and still just as fresh and vital today as it did when it was released 30 years ago. Truly a masterpiece.

The brilliance is in the simple production that lets all the various rapping styles and flows drive the songs forward and give them energy. It’s great.

A stone cold classic. I love the production on here, especially the sampling. Those old school kung fu samples go so hard. Solid bars from everyone on this record. A very important hip hop record.

classic what

“En garde, I'll let you try my Wu-Tang style“

Absolute, stonewall, non-debatable, generational, everlasting, jaw dropping, hip hopping banger of an album. Truly one of the greats.

I've tried to see Wu three times in my life. Two were cancellations and one was a no-show. Classic Wu...

The legendary.

First time listening all the way through, though I've heard tracks here and there. Revolutionary, of course, and formative, but also really enjoyable even in 2023. Clever, funny, emotional, smart. Good shit.

Fun, Iconic, fucking rad

Some of the most iconic hip hop ever made, still holds up today.

"Shaolin shadowboxing...and the Wu-Tang sword style. If what you say is true, the Shaolin and the Wu-Tang could be dangerous. Do you think your Wu-Tang sword can defeat me?" There are few albums on this list that I have a history with like this one. I bought it when I was 15 or so, and I couldn't even guess how many times I've listened to it since then. It's so rich in every way. When I was younger I was focused on the incredible rhymes, with so many different voices taking turns on the mic to spit out brutal lyrics with an incredible lexicon. As I've gotten older, I've come to appreciate just how insane the music is, with Rza's samples that never seem to quite fit the beat, but always work perfectly as he brings them in and out and overlays them. It's exquisite. A true revolution in hip-hop and in music in general. It feels almost unfair to debate whether or not this is the greatest hip-hop album of all time. It's like if the 90s Bulls also had Hakeem, Barkley, and Malone playing for them. There are other hip-hop albums that achieve the level of craftsmanship of this album, but none of those albums had to be made in a world where this album didn't exist 5/5

Great beats and samples, some of the best voices for hip-hop, and super entertaining writing and references. So, so, so good. I generally favor the West Coast sound but Wu-Tang is special and typesetting for the East Coast that I do listen to.

YES! OK, love the more socially conscious hip hop from the same era (maybe a little bit earlier). But this is just hip hop at its finest

Eternal classic

Classic

Bring the muthafuckin ruckus

Now you're talking...

I must have listen to this album a million times. It's one of the greatest hip hop albums ever made with a solid production on all levels and wordplay of great lyricists. The best Wu-Tang tracks are those were quality is over quantity (that also goes for the numbers of rappers on those tracks). Here it all comes together. Favourite track: Hard to say but I'd go with 'Wu-Tang Clan Ain't nuthin ta fuck with'.

WU TANGGGG FO LIFEEEE🤟🤟🤟

Is there a more classic rap album than this? It’s amazing how fresh this still sounds. The melding of samurai mythology with eerie minimalist beats and a myriad of talented flows was ahead of its time and sparked a new era in rap. Listening to the intermission at the end of Can It Be All So Simple its also amazing how confident they were in their plan and how well they executed on it, rolling out one fantastic solo album after another following this. This has classic track after classic track, top 10 rap album all time.

Diamond standard NYC 90’s hip hop

This was their DEBUT album. Enter The Wu-Tang brought us: - an original gritty urban sound quite unlike anything else before it, reviving 70s soul records overlaid with Kung Fu movie sounds and samples - one of the most innovative, visionary producers in RZA - nine phenomenal MCs, with Ghostface, Rae and GZA laying claim to GOAT status, plus ODB and Method Man bringing personality and charisma to spare, and fan favourite Inspectah Deck always on point on any track you feature him on - one of the GREATEST verses of all time by GZA on Protect Ya Neck - a whole new fashion, vocabulary and style for hip hop, innovative record deals, radio unfriendly but still flipped the underground to overground. This was their DEBUT album. Five mics. Instant classic. RIP ODB.

Classic, need I say more? The first time I heard their music was in concert and I’ve been a fan ever since.

Really good

listened

Been a fan for years

Truly monumental hip hop album. Knock your teeth out aggression at the start, deeper cuts peppering throughout. The huge variety between members' style keeps it energetic, spontaneous and multi-dimensional. RZA's production fuses a silly variety of samples with kung fu movies, spicing up an already gritty boom bap style. The album paints a unique picture and aint nuttin to be fucked with - it created a god damn cult.

LP

The production on this thing is SOOO GOOD. It's rich and smooth, and the rapping melds immaculately with the beats. Perfect integration of humor, just enough so that you have a good time, but not so much that you can't take it seriously.

Great hip hop album. One of the most intense concerts I ever saw was the Wu opening for Rage. The Wu’s impact is everywhere still. 5/5

5/5

Candidate for one of the best hip hop albums

A staple in the East coast hip hop scene. Interesting choice to use soul samples but it paid off in the long run. The lyrics and raw production are a reflection of the hard times experienced by the Wu-Tang members growing up in a harsh urban NYC environment.

Absolutely loved this. Despite it being longer than I usually like i loved every second. Class

This is one hell of a debut album, some of the best hip hop you'll ever listen to. There's some great beats but the lyrics are on another level. The intro to Method Man is pretty funny the first few times but wears on me after a while cause I just want to hear the great song. Highlights: Shame On a Ni**a Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthing to Fuck Wit C.R.E.A.M. Method Man

Now we're talking! I've been moaning about not liking "gangsta rap" every time it appears....I don't think this falls in that category, although it definitely shares similarities. To me, this is hip hop and it's distinct from what snoop and Dre do for example.... Maybe I just like the east coast sound better. Anyway, this is great. Great beats and flow. Actually rapping about something while not taking itself too seriously. All the different members have different rap styles and bring something individual. There's the hits that get you going then also the more storied ones. Think chessboxin is where it really gets going Best tracks are: Shame on a nigga Wu tang Clan ain't nothing ta f wit CREAM Method Man Da mystery of chessboxin Protect ya neck

I mean what else is there to say about this one? It's a classic.

Absolute unsurpassable genius

I feel guilty for not knowing the first thing about Wu-Tang Clan, except their reputation. This was probably my first serious impression of them and it was very solid haha.

Wu Tang Clan ain't nuthin' to Fuck Wit!

Legendary

30 years old! Still incredible, a magical album

Wow! I can't say I knew too much about Wu-Tang Clan, but I think I might have to change that after listening to this. If their later albums are even half as good as this, Wu-Tang Clan might be the group that gets me into Hip Hop. Great variety of voices kept it interesting, that gritty Hardcore Hip Hop sound gave it so much energy - It was impossible not to feel badass listening to this on my commute. This was amazing throughout, and I don't think there's a song I can really fault here. Favourite: C.R.E.A.M (Cash Rules Everything Around Me)

WHO HASN’T HEARD THIS ONE??? 10/10

Fucking tooon lad. Weekend in Milan, getting stoned with Theo in his lovely flat

Top 5 rap/hiphop album of all time

Gives me some Macklemore vibes

Great album

This album is a contender for the greatest hip hop album of all time, and is easily one of the best albums period. Wu Tang Clan grapple with social issues and who they’re trying to be for themselves and the future throughout this album. Their vision is something greater than what they see around them, and this album provides a glimpse into the early thoughts of the greatest rap collective. The music defines east coast rap, and the dynamic flows and free associated lyrics are now hallmarks of hip hop. You simply can’t listen to hip hop today without hearing Wu Tang’s influence.

Wu-Tang forever.

Classic old school hip hop. Indicative of the time it was released. Important in musical history.

It's Wu. There is nothing I can can add to what has already been written. Wu-Tang is for the children.

This would be my nomination for greatest hip hop album of all time. The one I can always come back to and it still hits me just as hard as it did the first time I listened to it as a teenager. The group dynamics are simply jaw dropping with so many distinct personalities and vocal styles. Despite the rough demeanor, there is a melodic sense that underlies the wordplay. Sometimes the phrasing is just as memorable as the lyrics themselves. And RZA's beats are, to me, THE definitive hip hop sound. He broke away from the cliches to dig deep and create something truly atmospheric and cinematic. Everything flows together perfectly. The album has such a powerful momentum you actually need the skits just so you can catch your breath. I feel like you really get to know them by the end of the album despite the layers of mystique they build around themselves. The Kung Fu movie samples were the icing on the cake for me, especially back then as a teen who was just starting to get high and rent obscure martial arts movies from the video store myself.

One of the greatest to every do it. I've listen to this before, and was excited to listen to it again. Wu-Tang is for the children.

Wu tang again? Yes again and again!

Just hits from start to finish. Incredible samples, lyrics and just everything

basically everything i want in a rap album its just so good

A classic, grimey hip hop album that changed my perspective on hip hop. I've listened to this album hundreds of times. Five stars easy.

yeah I’d say Wu-Tang is probably in my top three favorite old school hip hop collectives (#1 is definitely A Tribe Called Quest, and I would say #2 is Fugees) 10/10 album, everyone kills it

No comment needed

Perfect

Wu-Tang! Wu-Tang!

This. Changed. Everything. Personally, I was a couple of years late to the party. Living in pre-internet suburban western Canada with no other friends who were really into hip-hop meant I wasn't yet ahead of the curve. I'd seen their name around a bit but it was a track on The Jerky Boys soundtrack that served as my introduction to the Clan. As a result of that song I already had Ol' Dirty Bastard's solo album by the time I finally copped a copy of Enter the Wu-Tang in the summer of '95. I loved the wild-out weirdness of ODB, but the clan united was a goddamn force! Nuthing ta f wit, indeed. The lo-fi dark grimy beats were a far cry from the g-funk sound that otherwise dominated my hip-hop CDs at the time. So tasty. And the full Clan spitting unstoppable, untoppable bars over top was just over the top. I don't remember listening to anything else for the first week or two I had this. I just kept playin' it, and playin' it, and playin' it, and playin' it... Absorbing all the voices, figuring out who was who and how their flows all came together so damn well. Hell, the first couple of times I ever went on the internet shortly after copping this, I spent most of my time digging deeper into the Wu and marvelling at their industry takeover that allowed for each solo member to sign with a different label than the group itself, spreading their fingers through most of the major label hip-pie. Now, nearly three decades later, knowing the album backward and forward, skits and all, and having deciphered nearly all of the samples, this still stands as an absolute beast of an album. The hunger of the Clan in its youth is still palpable, and very few debuts since can hold a candle to this. Let your feet stomp.

Not only Wu's best album, but easily in the top-three hip-hop albums of all time. 5/5.

A groundbreaking, innovative, absolute landmark of a record.

FLAWLESS VICTORY. This is a six star record for me along with In Utero, Hunky Dory, and Closer.

A landmark debut that revitalized the New York Hip Hop scene. Noise combined with funk and those piano loops. An impeccable line up of top notch emcees all with kung fu movie samples!

If I liked rap, this would be the number one album in my collection. As it stands, it's still an impressive debut album and homage to old 'chopsocky' martial arts films.

All time great album. Not a bad song here! One of my favorite albums in the world when I was 15 years old is still one of my favorite albums in my 40s...

ALL THE STARS.

Indbegrebet af hardcore 90'er hiphop, ekstremt indflydelsesrigt, ægte east coast

Ain’t nothing to fuck with

Amazing. Classic. Rambunctious and agressive and hard af.

A Stone Cold Classic! Trend-setting, genre-defining, and historical. The production seems muddled but accurately reflects the atmosphere of the world in which it was recorded.

One of the best Hip Hop Albums there is

LP

Absolute classic. Top 3 Hip Hop albums all time. Had this CD stolen from me twice during high school, it's that good.

At 9 songs and 36 min. Rappenin IS what's happenin "ODB." This was great, I love their mix of sampling kung fu movies and old tracks you wouldn't expect.

Yeah! I just love this record.

Fire

This is my favorite 90s rap album. Very vibrant personality

roguh wahdurds voisi ottaa mallia... näin tehdään KONSEPTI... ei tarvi tehdä paskoja piisejä että tulee seleväksi... vähän liikaa puhumista..sketsejä..hassutusta, mutta haittaa minimaalisesti kun tulee isoja pum pum biittejä ja pääasiassa hyvää lyrisisismiä. JA OSAA.. PYSTYY KUUNNELLA SANOJA HEH.. KUN EI TOTA EI PUHU EI MUMISE! EI MUMISE HEH... vitun hyvä... im gonna saw your asshole shut and keep feedin you... and feeding you... and feeding you.. im gonna hang you by your dick... Offensive and puerile, but more importantly, as music it's just repetitive, uninventive and devoid of melody. Basically it's just words over rythym. Rap doesn't belong on this list, it isn' music. hyvä take tolta, musiikin ystävä! da mystery of chessboxing... vittu jos kirjottaa the sanan da.. tietää et nyt mennään

Cream undeniable

I fuck with Wu-Tang

I’ve already listened. One point for me

Absolute classic album. Breakthrough for hiphop

Enter the wu-tang? More like enter the villain!

A mission statement and a half, this bursts with so much energy and personality. The skits actually add so much to the album, each member of the group shines and brings something different to the record, and there's just a lot of bangers with immaculate production throughout. Not my favourite Wu-Tang project (Liquid Swords and Fishscale do it more for me) but one of the most vital records of all time tbh

Klassikko, ajaton, wu-tang style!

Classic

An all time classic. WTC ain’t nothin to fuck wit

My favorite hip hop album I’ve gotten from this list so far. I’m going to have to go back and listen to the extended version

Kickass collection of east coast bangers

2nd best rap album of all time

Amazing start to finish.

Profane, hilarious, imaginative, sharp. I can see why this was such a big deal when it came out.

I have nothing to say about this that hasn't been said. Lightning in a bottle situation with some of the most talented MC's ever.

Amazing. This really is an album that everyone should hear at least once. 5/5

One of the greatest. Find something new I love about this album every time I return to it.

Wu-Tang is forever. It is a nice change of peace. It is raw, angry and great. The intermission interview didn't need to be included but still a great album.

Bring the Ruckus

This isn't the first time that I have listened to this album, but I am rather new to it. I very much appreciate what it brings!

This album is gangster rap personified. So many skilled verses, catchy hooks, and in-your-face choruses. C.R.E.A.M. is the anthem.

Classic, me enjoy

The impact of The Wu and this album is hard to understate. Superb.

4.5/5

wu tang clan - enter the wu tang (36 chambers) (1993) notes - ghostface bbng album is a 5/5 - this album started and i couldnt help but smile bc it sounds like theyre having a great time - the fun is balanced out with some more emotional tracks - the use of samples is absolutely fantastic - Hear a bit of public enemy influence fav song: - bring da ruckus - super fun and creative opening track that gives you a glimpse into each of the members styles and personalities least fav: - clan in da front - cool verses and vibe but it wasnt as hype as the previous songs 5/5!!!

<3

Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nothing To Fuck With.

Rating: 10/10

One of my favorite classic rap albums, energy is incredible

Hell yes

Super cool. Idk why I'm in between a 4/5 star. I wish it gave half options like a 10-point system. I'll give it a 5 though because I can't think of a reason. Fucking dope shit, all I got to say. Some of the recordings seem echo-like, like in a big room but they really set the precedence for a lot of future artists and I respect the themes that are repeated throughout the album. Catchy ass beats.

Loads of fun.

This is the rap equivalent of the power rangers assembling megazord

Yes yes yes

I've never liked an album so instantly. How have I never listened to Wu-Tang before!?!? Amazing. Shame about the censorship on the spotify version though...

I used to hate this when I was a teenager, but that was just because I was a stupid metalhead that was too stubborn to give it a real chance. This slaps, of course, and this was pretty much my real introduction to hip hop. I think it holds perfectly well to this day, a timeless classic.

The cringy intermissions in rap albums is what kills it for me, but still, this shit is just an incredible timeless masterpiece.

Legendaarinen uhon, räpin ja beattien osalta! 5/5

Easiest 5 of all time, was beginning to be concerned this wouldn't be on the list when it's easily one of the top 10, let alone top 1001 albums of all time. Might be slightly biased as this introduced me to real hip hop in the 90s but the power, energy, differing styles and personalities shining through mean this is truly unique at the time and still now.

Es un disco muy caracteristico del sonido del rap de los noventa con sus "scratches" en los beats y sus letras con distorsion de la realidad, una realidad muy real. Este disco es sinonimo de velocidad, un sonido repicable como busqueda de la influencia de un buen proyecto de rap. 10/10 malandrisima toda esta vaina.

Ooooh yeah. Not lyrically groundbreaking, but the atmosphere they create is unrivalled.

Classic. Love this album.

one of the best albums i have ever listened to.

Just goated

W 9.8/10

p good i guess

un clásico y se entiende por qué, ese flow y esos beats en el '93 seguro dejaron loco a más de uno, habrá que prestar un poco más de atención a la letra, ya que se sabe que es el verdadero fuerte del Clan WuTang. una maravilla, seguirá siendo escuchado

Classic rap album, already listened to before hand

Banger of the genre.

Top 5 Hip-Hop album of all time. Great beats from RZA, iconic bars from the Wu. 10/10

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fu1HL9WN-6Y You gotta protect your neck!

classic album

Brings Da Ruckus

Issa bop

I like this album so much I have two copies on vinyl. Bussin

Wu-Tang forever.

Tell your sons about the Wu.

Polecialo teraz klasycznym krazkiem, debiutancki album wu-tangowy, czyli 36 chambersow z 93, jedna z najbardziej influencyjnych plyt w historii rapu, nie tylko przez fakt rozpoczecia kariery tylu raperom czy rozpoczecia franczyzny wu tangowej, dziwnie sie slucha i pisze o czyms tak osluchanym wczesniej, bo ciezko dosluchac sie czegos nowego w takim klasyku, dziewieciu czlonkow, a nawet dziesieciu jesli liczyc wers od masta killera na da mystery of chessboxin, mozna by wymieniac po kolei wszystkich czlonkow rozpisujac sie nad tym co akurat wnosza do wu tangu, ktory jest prawdziwym kolazem styli i pomyslow, a osoba ktora podjela sie do sklejenia tego w calosc, byl nie kto inny tylko pan RZA, o ktorym juz musialem napomknac przy okazji methodowego ticala czy kilosow od ghostface, to wlasnie tym albumem RZA zapoczatkowal swoj unikalny styl oparty na samplowych wycinanckach inspirowanych filmami z dalekiego wschodu, wiec nawiazania ktore zaczynaja sie od tytulow, ksywek konczac na samplowanych dialogach z filmow traktujacych o sztukach walki, jesli dodac do tego piecio procentowe nauki i realia gettowe z nowego yorku masz przepis na 36 chambersy, album z jeden strony bedacy blueprintem dla hardkorowego rapu, a z drugiej strony tak geekowskimi nawiazaniami do filmow, komiksow, wiec uslyszy tu dos dla siebie zarowno geek jak i gettowy dwelarz, dla kazdego cos dobrego, a jesli dodac do tego unikalne brzmienie produkcji, ktora z jednej strony jest tak surowa, ze drumy nie brzmia drumowo, a sa raczej przebasowane, a z drugiej czuc takie napracowanko przy tych samplach i ich obrobce, tak jak kiedys zobaczylo jak wygladala produkcja tej plyty i na jakim sprzecie sie to odbywalo, zadnego klikania, przegrywanie kaset zeby bylo z czego ciac dialogi filmowe, doslowna piwnicowa produkcja, a to wszystko zrobione jako wlasny pan i wladca, bo warta uwagi rzecza jest to jak sprzedali swoj album lejbelowi, ale sami sie nie sprzedali i byli wolni do nagrywania czego chcieli i dla kogo chcieli, wiec krazek kazdemu z czlonkow zrobil kariere, nie ma co dodawac na plejke trakow, bo i tak juz polowa plyty tam jest, ale nadal nie zmienia to tego, ze calosc jest rowna i godzina podzielona na dziewieciu czlonkow, chociaz z odczuwalna iloscia methoda i raekwona jako najbardziej aktywnych lirycznie czlonkow, ale nie zmienia to faktu, ze calosc ma w sobie cos wyjatkowego, bo kazdy wnosi cos swojego, ale zazwyczaj zwrotki sa prezentowane jako bitwy pomiedzy czlonkami, co tez fajnie wpasowuje sie w motyw przewodni shaolin vs wutang, kazdy trak pojedynkiem o tytul najostrzejszego liryka, to wlasnie jedna z tych rzeczy ktora czyni ten album takim klasykiem, z podziemia do mainstreamu, a z mainstreamu do kanonu el klasiko

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.

A classic of the genre. The world's introduction to the some amazing talents who would go on to make solo albums that are just as great.

I forgot just how good this album is. An incredible entry from a legendary group.

Arguably the greatest hip-hop album ever recorded.

Great classic Hip Hop with no mumble :-)

Une gang (pas un gang!) de gars qui s'échangent des couplets, toujours ardents, avec des beats qui enfoncent tout, des échantillonnages originaux et stimulants, tabarnak! C'est juste parfait. Ma seule question : où étais-je la première fois que j'ai écouté ça?

Great!

Bangers

Cause yall dont want sauce no A1!

Even people who don't like Rap and Hip-hop love this record. That should tell you everything you need to know about it

Maybe the greatest hip hop album ever. 36/10

So many good tracks on this one!

Absolute titan of the genre. Stone cold classic.

Had not listened to Wu-Tang Clan before, really liked it! Could have done without the coughs at the end of Method Man. I now appreciate who Method Man plays in The Wire even more

Bloody fantastic. Rap with a message. And you can’t help but feel cool cruising around town with it cranked up on the speakers. Fave tracks: “C.R.E.A.M.” “Shame On A N——a” “Protect Ya Neck”

Possibly the greatest hip hop album of all time. Still holds up for hip hop heads

Amazing Debut album. Hip hop at its best.

Perfect album. So many incredible beats. Iconic

CREAM is a masterpiece. GOAT hip hop beats throughout the album.

Genial.

Wu-tang Clan ain't nothin to fuck with

Lots of great tracks, incredible energy

Without a doubt one of the greatest hip-hop records ever made. I've heard this many times and it never gets old. I don't even know what else to say, honestly.

Classic, so many hits, also with the ft names, probably the longest song names in spotify.

Wu-Tang again? AWWW YEAH AGAIN AND AGAIN

What more to say than legendary?

Have heard before - big good. Need to get more into it tho.

Мощные они ребята!

Timeless; sounds as fresh as the first time I heard it back in grade school.

6th September 2021 Listened on my phone before going out to meet Neil for dim sum in soho. Some of the finest 90s rap and hip hop.

Goes hard

Great beats and cold lyrics. You have to be in a certain mood to listen to this and there is a significant amount of filler between tracks but it's still great. 9

Never gets old

Timeless gem. Cash Rules Everything Around Me...

Tiene algunos temas que me gustaron. Lo quiero escuchar un poco más aunque no es un estilo musical que me guste. Le pongo cinco estrellas por que juancito puso 3, pero yo le pondría un 3.

Increíble álbum, de los mejores en la historia del rap.

It's 36 chambers. It's a masterpiece front to back. Great way to start the day.

A one of a kind hip-hop group & a one of a kind album. This album features some of the groups best know songs & we're all better of for this album's existence.

Classic.

subliminal

Samo želim reći da je ovaj album nešta najjače ikad u hip hopu. Top 5 definitivno. 4.7/5

Schon immer eins meiner lieblings Hip Hop Alben, alleine schon wegen Produktion, Flow und dieser Energie,aber erst jetzt, wo ich mich ein bisschen mehr mit den Texten beschäftigt habe, merke ich richtig, wie talentiert und intelligent diese Typen sind.

Superb, a real classic. Absolutely love it.

Yeeeeeeeep

The masterpiece, not a bad song, and a great introduction to a great band #wutang4ever

Wu-Tang Clan, what can I say? 5 stars across the boards for this one

Hell yeah! This album has so many good songs. Perfect for listening to in your car a little too loud, and drowning out the rest of the world. The only draw back is that the songs themselves are interspersed with interviews, and then it sometimes goes back to the song. I got confused a couple of times about which song I was actually listening to 🙃

Uno de los mejores discos de rap de la historia. Recomiendo que cuando lo escuchen, lo hagan de la mano de las letras. Increíble, oscuro, sucio, denso, jocoso, divertido.

Electric energy. Didn't love the whole album, but damn, some of those tracks got me amped.

Absolutely legendary album. RZA legendary production. 10/10

About bloody time! A great album that paved the way for so many hip hop acts that followed.

Probably my favourite rap album of all time

Great beats!

1ere fois que je l’ecoute au complet. Vraiment solide j’adore ce genre de rap! 5*

top 5 greatest hip hop albums of all time. a classic

love it

I was big into Wu during college. Haven't listened much in the last 10 years, but this record is still a banger.

Awesome.

WuTang forever

Love love love love.

A hip-hop MASTERPIECE.

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Legend

I mean it's fuckin' Wu-Tang. Rap don't get better just listen to it. I've was actually Listening to this album like a week ago so yeah I fuck with it. Five stars bitch.

Genre defining and still fresh today 30 years later. Awesome.

Love it, Wu-Tang is always nice

ONE OF THE BEST ALBUMS EVER

Awesome!

Ich hab vorher noch nie WuTang Clan gehört, aber es sofort erkannt - weil der Sound so viel beinflusst hat und so oft zitiert wird. Auch die Texte sind direkt politisch, ganz selbstverständlich, weil die Themen direkt aus dem Alltag kommen - sehr beeindruckend.

Brooklyn zoo !

Stone cold classic. WU TANG CLAN AIN'T NUTTIN TO FUCK WIT

I'll admit it- I'd never listened to this before. My god. It's rap perfection.

Brilliant! I don't even consider myself a hip-hop fan, but this album slaps. 'Method Man', 'C.R.E.A.M.', 'Wu-Tang Clain Ain't Nuthin Ta F' Wit' are my favourite tracks, but there isn't a bad one on this album.

Loved it. First time listening all the way through. Lot of hits on that record

Wu-Tang forever.

Connor: Few other hip-hop albums come close to this.

Phenomenal. Wu-Tang comes swinging right out the gate with gritty lyrics and a dirty, almost lofi, sound. A classic.

Classic

Old school rap, DA BEST

Yet another belter I hadn’t explored in full. Top bops: Wu-tang clan ain’t nuthing ta fuck with CREAM Protect ya neck Tearz

Clearly one of the most impactful and influential hip hop albums of all time, personal preference for Liquid Swords as the best Wu-Tang record as it hangs together a bit better as an album taken in one sitting. Loads of great rap tracks here, Bring da Ruckus, Protect Ya Neck, Shame On A..., C.R.E.A.M, all hip hop classics. Can take or leave a couple of tracks and rap album skits always age like milk so it's not perfect IMO. 8/10

I appreciate what Wu-Tang did for music. They brought a new energy that was just infectious.

Surprisingly interesting to listen to! Not a genre I usually enjoy but it was fun to read about them and hear the music in real time.

Boff, el real hard-core hip hop crudito neoyorkino 10/10

lwk banger

Old-school rap has never really held my interest (with the exception of Illmatic), but this is a pretty iconic moment in 90s music

Close to a 10. Just such as consistent cool style throughout the record. Not to mention how influential it is on rap in general

i like it it's cool gangsta allthat

Echt een mega mega banger album. Ook echt een baanbrekend album, zo mega veel betekend voor de tijd, maar niet mijn favoriete album. 8 bangers

Classic!

Can't go wrong with Wu-Tang.

36 chambres divisées entre 9 rappers.

Iconic beats and flow. MF Doom got some inspiration from this album for sure.

Very good. Great flow and creative arrangements. There are bits that date these tracks to their era. But for the most part, they re timeless classics. A 4.

Highlights: Bring Da Ruckus, Shame On a Nigga, Da Mystery of Chessboxin', Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthing ta F' Wit, C.R.E.A.M., Method Man, Tearz, 7th Chamber Pt. 2 Too many annoying interludes. Halted from a higher grade because of its slight monotony in the first half, but later on dope beats and great vocal variety. Favorite MCs were ODB and Method Man. Sounds like it was at least 5 years ahead of the scene. I never thought that the record was from the first half of the 90s, so this bumps its grade back up a fair bit. Lyrics were a bit all over the place in some songs so I didn't bother following them, but I loved more focused tracks like C.R.E.A.M. and Tearz.

Wu-Tang Clan’s Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) is a remarkably coherent, albeit one-dimensional, milestone that thrives on raw grit despite its noticeably compressed recording quality. At its peak, the album hits hard with timeless high points—"C.R.E.A.M." stands out as an absolute banger that remains relevant today and has truly stood the test of time, while "Bring da Ruckus" delivers the kind of classic gangsta rap energy guaranteed to hype you up. When the group leans into its playful, hard-hitting bounce on tracks like "Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthing Ta F' With" or taps into the nostalgia of lost innocence on "Can It Be All So Simple," the magic is undeniable. Even the structure of "Da Mystery of Chessboxin’" captures the raw, spontaneous energy of a live cipher. However, the record isn't without its flaws; some tracks hit goofy patches with forced rhymes, "Wu-Tang: 7th Chamber Part II" feels pretty meh, and on cuts like "Protect Ya Neck," GZA’s verse carries the weight while the rest feel fairly standard. "Clan in da Front" perfectly encapsulates this hit-or-miss dynamic—starting with a jarring opening before switching into a sonically superior second half. While certain moments like the nonchalant, eerie death dialogue on the original "7th Chamber" stick with you, the overall mix of amazing peaks and occasional fluff keeps it just shy of absolute perfection.

deu até vontade de trabalhar

This is an incredibly cohesive album from the lyrics, the rhythmic drive, and the spoken moments. I’ve never heard the whole thing before and I need to dig into its context after hearing it!

JL : 5, Da Mystery of Chessboxin' A : 3, Cream

This is so awesome. It is so aggressive, but just such a vibe too. The rhymes are so good, the production is top notch, the Wu-Tang Clan are timeless. I appreciate there are no interludes or "skits" between songs Liked Songs: "Bring Da Ruckus" , "Shame On a...." , "Clan In Da Front" , "Da Mystery of Chessboxin' " , "Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthing ta F' Wit" , "C.R.E.A.M. (Cash Rules Everything Around Me)" , "Method Man" , "Protect Ya Neck"

This was great, I missed the boat back in the day. Like it a lot more than Ice Cube on one side and Tribe Called Quest on the other.

Hip hop royalty

Wu-Tang is for the children

i really like this album, im a huge hip-hop fan and this album is very culturally important. sometimes i did find the beat pretty repetitive and i was kinda waiting for something new, but overall this is great

East Coast Renaissaaaaaaance. DOLLA DOLLA BILL Y'ALLLLLLL Sans eux pas de Nas, pas de Biggie, pas de Jay-Z, pas de Mobb Deep. Alchimie de fou des 9 membres, ce serait impensable maintenant d'être autant

Probably a peak in terms of early 90s rap. RZAs production and samples usage is unique and still stands up. 3.5/5. Raising to 4.

An indisputably fire album with a surprising level of depth. (CREAM is a far more meditative song than I thought it was at 18 years old.) I definitely have to be in the right mood to turn to the Wu, though.

Great samples, great beats, and overall really enjoyed this one

Really liked it. I think it was my first Wu-Tang album I listened to fully.

I really like Wu-Tang. Some great songs on here. 3.75
