never listened to smth this vulgar but hey-it's kinda vibe. wouldn't have sat thru this if not for website-felt a bajillion times cooler while listening 🔥 prolly wouldn't listen again unless real shit goes down
I appreciate them. I watched a documentary a while back and was super impressed.
A surprise as I've never heard it before. A lot more funk and rhythm than I expected. Great fun!
Not for me
3.2
Bopped my head along the whole time, but just still not a huge rap fan.
How have I never heard this?! Too violent for me in places but undeniable beats and verses and when I let go and vibe with it I love it so much.
great beat but not keen on the content
This is honestly more like a 4.5 for me. Bombastic, gritty and real - this grabs you by the neck and doesn't let go. I loved the theatricality of this one, the eclectic samples and the rawness of the sound. The storytelling was next level, with both humour and heart, and it didn't overstay its welcome. It's really hard to imagine hip-hop today without this one. Highlights: Can It Be All So Simple - love the Gladys Knight sample here. Both nostalgic and current. C.R.E.A.M. - definitely rewards repeat listens. This one hits hard and rattles you. Tearz - next-level soul sample with great lyrics and storytelling.
A lot going on here and not nearly enough time to parse it all. I love the lo-fi sampling. The only member’s voice I can consistently recognize is ODB so it was hard to follow all the stories being told. But really sitting down to listen to the lyrics on C.R.E.A.M. was an intense experience. Could see myself giving this a higher rating on further listens.
I'm normally not a fan of this era/style of hip hop, but I enjoyed this. It's great to work to. It's very driving. The beat is this constant vintage metronome you can get lost in. The instrumentals in general are very hypnotic. Every once in a while a specific sample or synth bit breaks through like the soul sample/ keys on Tearz. The lyrics sorta float by in this haze of moody anger. Every once in a while a hook will break through (Wu-tang clan ain't nothin' to fuck with) or a disturbing/agressive interlude. I think with more time I'd be able to dig into the lyrics and get more out of the record. I can definitely feel the influence of this on hip hop still to this day. Very cool album (feels like an understatement).
So many interludes, so little time. I usually really like old-school, sample-driven hip hop (and I’m aware that this record has a LOT of prestige and is basically an icon of the east coast 90s scene) but it wasn’t clicking for me on first listen. On a positive note: I really enjoyed the sample in Cash Rules Everything Around Me.
I just can't get into Wu-Tang. I think I like this better than some of the solo albums on this list, but I still don't really like it.
Bangin'
Debut album. Hip Hop. Good beats throughout. Good lyrics at times. A hip hop album that still influences the genre to this day. Good tracks include Wu-Tang 7th Chamber, Da Mystery Of Chessboxin' , Method Man and Protect Ya Neck. Solid album.
I guess I’m just bad with classic hip hop. I know this is a classic. I agree that the various vocalists here have generally good delivery. It’s just extremely dull and uninteresting. The kung fun stuff is just silly. I don’t know… I can give it three stars because I know it’s important and a classic but I don’t really like it.
i’ve always loved this album. the best wu-tang album hands down, something that could only exist at that moment in time.
Not for me
absolute banger of an album.
Complete
not bad
Absolutely not my style, but I appreciate the sounds 2/5
I think I can see why people like this. It's fairly monotonous but exactly that works. It's a bit too long, like many nineties-albums. This time the track I like best is also the biggest 'hit': C.R.E.A.M. The best hiphop-album so far. Although I liked the musical elements better on Snoop Dogg's album, I certainly think the rapping is much better here.
I heart this one before but its been some time since I listened to it or some songs from it. It's one of those well regarded albums in their genre so it's always interesting to see what is it that makes it so good, and I think for me it's the fact that it feels not as loaded beat wise, they are very simple and to the point but what they have in spades is a really dark and mysterious atmosphere that really works well for the vibe they go for, and I think its vibe just works to the benefit of the album, that sort of grimey feel of living in NYC area, it's honestly the best encapsulation of that vibe plus the kung fu movie aesthetic in the background of it all. It's hard to dislike this one really, just solid
Hip-hop, 31eme album => 1/5
I'm a Wu-Tang guy now.
Greater than the sum of it's parts, this album is timeless. Never a dull moment. Easily one of the greatest hop hop albums ever made. Me at age 14: "Wait, you can rap about Voltron and Spider-man?"
100/100.
These guys couldn’t fumble a verse if they tried. The flows are effortless. Every single one of these guys went on to make an iconic record of their own. Samples are perfect. Production is perfect. Lyrics are funny and dark when they need to be. They make their life experience in New York sound like an operatic drama. This record is flawless. I love it. 5/5
Where it all started with ODB, Ghost Face Killa RZA, Method Man GZA and the rest of the clan. Very raw, but makes a statement. Not their best work, but some good old school hip hop. Sounded like they were having g a good time together while making it. Saw quite a bit of personality in all of the clips within the songs.
Switched to the clean version after a few minutes into the first song. Still feeling pretty gangsta, though. CREAM baby!
great flow, and i know wu-tang was instrumental to the genre. But i’ve never been a fan of the repetitive and simple backing tracks in hip hop
I've never actually listened to this whole album before and it was such a great listen. Top tier rapping and awesome beats. Ridiculous skits. Wubby Tang was so influential for all of hip hop, and this album was quality all the way through.
Was a good time! Funky, funny, and made my morning better. Could have done without some of the spoken interludes and some of the remixes at the end I hated, but the core album was super fun.
Easily the best hip hop album ever. The production and all the Wu-Tang members unique styles working seamlessly together haven't been dethroned yet. No need for a length review, this is an album everyone should listen to.
Yo solide
better than i remember
Le plus grand album de hip-hop de l'histoire, et je m'y connais, j'en ai écouté au moins 10.
Another hip hop classic. All good, but I never really liked the WTC
Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthing ta F' Wit
Seminal album. Had never listened to Tearz, what a cracker!
Voller Klassiker (Hab ich glaube ich früher schonmal gehört, als ich mal Rap-History abgearbeitet habe. Zumindest einige Singles) Schön Roh / Rough Simple aber geile beats -> mehr Melodie im Sprechgesang <3 Manchmal ist weniger wirklich mehr
This gets points for a cool factor, talent and energy and originality but I'm not going to be listening to it on the regular
Method man song’s descriptions of hot hangers up ur ass and rusty screwdriver on ur tongue was a bit much for my lovely sunny commute on Fri xx I think this kinda hip hop is a bit lost on me
Not a hate but an ‘urgh samey’
Great album front to back. Top 5 hiphop albums for me.
Lori- 9.5 Mike- 9 Michael- 9 Miles- 8.5 Cole- 8
This album is great!!
Incredibly fun. Crude, but fun. A showcase of comradery and innovation.
Better than the majority of the genre from this time, but the bar isn’t particularly high.
I Like it
Surprisingly enjoyable, but after just about half the songs it got quite homogenous
Wu tang are among the better of the seemingly over represented 90s hip hop of this list. I don’t like the skits. But I do like the characters. But 3.5 stars.
There are _so many_ Wu-Tang albums, Clan and solo, that it is hard to get a grip on the whole genre. But, if you are going to listen to one Wu-Tang record, this is the one. I love the lo-fi cinematic (and somewhat wonky) production. The flow is outstanding. There are skits (which I generally don't approve of), but they are few, brief and not too intrusive. And, rare for a 90s CD album, it doesn't outstay its welcome. If you have any interest in hip hop at all, you need to be aware of the Wu Tang Clan, and this is the most important album they produced.
What's there to say that others have not? Solid album. No complaints
i’m really not made for hip-hop. every song sounds the same
Not just one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time, but one of the greatest debuts of all time. Raw, gritty, and downright amazing. From the beats to the lyrics to the flows, it is just a banger from start to finish.
one of the best rap albums ever
Understand the importance of the album. Good music well produced.
Hippity hop to the barbershop. WTC got it goin’ on. Heard some good zucka-zukkin’ and a little up the butt. CREAM (whatever that stands for) is the best cut, but all good. Also appreciate the 36 minute run time. (3.8*s)
Very solid, very influential album that I knew would be on the list. I usually don't like skits but the ones here work and I always enjoyed the Shaolin style of WTC even though all of the members' stronger work came after this. Track 4 "Method Man" is a new top from this album on this relisten. There's a few times where beats felt repetitive but overall still a good album. 3.25 for "tell me how you like it so far, Baby Paw?" rhyme alone.
The Wu-Tang Clan is a force to be reckoned with their raw and hard hitting approach. Like NWA's debut album, "36 Chambers" shocked the hip-hop world with even more grit. Incorporating the dialogue and sampling the cinematic music from kung-fu films was GZA-genius. Each individual rapper has their own style that keeps the clan well rounded. It is no surprise many of them had very successful solo careers as well. Ol' Dirty Bastard, RZA, and Method Man being the standouts. Def knew this would make the list, deservedly. Bring da mutha fuckin' Ruckus! 3.73 stars.
Wu Tang Clan has always been a blind spot for me. I've always heard they are an influential rap group but somehow managed to incidentally avoid them. I've known about the various members that have come and gone but wouldn't have known any of their music beyond some titles that have become external pop culture references (CREAM, Protect Ya Neck, Wu Tang Clan Ain't Nuthin to Fuck With, etc.). I went in with an open mind and was pleased with 36 Chambers. The rap is enjoyable with good contributions from a handful of members, Method Man being the highlight for me. The backing music is varied and a little more artistic than I've come to expect from rap/hip-hop. Overall a pretty solid rap album that I would put on the higher end of the genre from this list so far. I can appreciate Wu Tang's contributions to the art and will always loved that they share my love and respect for old school martial arts movies. Bonus points awarded as I recently watched The 36th Chamber of Shaolin for the first time and really enjoyed it (along with many other Shaw bros. classics). Good stuff. 3.07 stars
Nope. I started skipping and when I got to Method Man I turned off. Actually I tired Protect Ya Neck. It only improved things mildly. Most of the instrumentation and most of the lyrics were the same so I don't think I missed much.
I lack the time period / cultural context for this album. I enjoy the beat at times; however, I struggle to follow the lyrical flow and meaning. I do not enjoy the taking in-between. Not my style, I guess. I did enjoy the last few songs.
Very good album, it sounds very underground and grimy, very raw sounding vocals and production which I think is a great thing for a hip-hop album like this The storytelling cuts such as “C.R.E.A.M” and “Tearz” were my favorites because I appreciate storytelling in rap a lot, but tracks like “Method Man” where the members show off their rapping were excellent as well. They manage to fuse all of their unique personal styles together into something amazing. Also the impact this had on hiphop can’t be ignored, without it I wouldn’t have some of my favorite rappers like Nas and Lupe Fiasco which deserves all the credit in the world. Favorite Tracks: Tearz, Can It All Be So Simple, and C.R.E.A.M.
I love this album so much that for my birthday last year, my brother gave me a Wu-Tang Clan doormat. (It’s got the logo with ‘watch ya step kid’ written underneath.) Easy five stars for both the present and the Wu.
I usually quite like hip hop but this just didn't grab me.
So many years later and this album still rules, it’s amazing. This is a culturally significant album in many ways, and rightfully so. Top tier lyricism, excellent samples, excellent execution. Wu Tang Forever
Not quite sure how this saved wrong. The homegrown Method Man version was a lot of fun. And his rant is insane. And so many classic lines/samples!
7/10 it’s alright.
It is not gonna be my favourite hip-hop album on this list but still quite good.
very good despite not really being in the mood for this. listening was kind of ruined cause Spotify went down for an hour and a half when i was halfway through listening but i still thoroughly enjoyed and will listen to more
A classic for sure, but one I’ve never really ever listened to all the way through. Really good album with a lot of layers I wasn't expecting. Hate that I didn't get to grow up with a variety of music.
Wu Tang forever! That said I haven’t listened to this album in least a decade until now. For hip hop it’s full points from me.
Greatest rap album of all time
Great album, rap just isn't my thing
I am a white, middle aged man who has a moustache. I listen to progressive rock music recorded my whiter, older aged men with full beards. Despite their friendly demeanor, this isn't for me.
The sound of this was good. The rap rhythms were nice. I have no idea what they were rapping about and I got distracted and went to put up some coat hooks, so I guess it didn't do enough to keep my attention. The hooks looks nice though.
Wanted to like this more but I see how it was influential at the time
Utter hip-hop classic
The day before was Lincensed to Ill by the Beastie Boys. I think for many that may be a 5 star album but I just couldn't get to 4 stars knowing that eventually I'd be getting 36 Chambers, Takes a Nation of Millions and some other classics. As soon as I hit vote I got 36 Chambers which is my all time favorite rap album and its one of the few I've been able to take the vinyl out for and play after receiving the daily recommendation.
For the children
Original stuff
Wu-Tang is for the children and I'm old as fuck.
Unbelievable, improbable coalescence of talent. Like 4 dudes from a grimy ass port town just being the fucking beatles. Somehow all these talents manage to put together a very unified work of art but shine individually. Love the gimmicks, love the flows, love the simple but HARD production.
Golly gee whiz! These fellas sure do seem angry 'bout somethin'! Seriously, this brings me back to high school with a bunch of country white kids (who had never even seen a black person) listening to this thinking it somehow gave them a dangerous aura of protection from bullies and invisible gangs. Meanwhile, I simply perfected my resting bitch face to much greater effect. Anyway... back on task. In a vacuum, I'm not sure I would be able to find much value in this beyond a few clever moments (found particularly more on the back end). From a cultural and temporal perspective, however, I do have more appreciation for what this inspired - directly and indirectly. An example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2UmNA9T3T8
I can respect the influence this album has. But this was a little long, and became very dry over time. Much better rap came after this, and can hold my attention for far longer.
Honestly, this is one of the seminal hip hop albums. Its just special. Sampling has always been fundamental to hip hop, but their sampling from classic kung fu movies is amazing. Shame on a N*ga has some of the best flowand rhymes. Some of the skits are a bit outrageous too.
Terrible
Remarkable
Only heard the biggest hit from it before. Not my kind of hip hop, honestly. But C.R.E.A.M. is on the album at least 2/5
Dolla Dolla bills y’all 7/10
1st Song is a Thumper, not so much for the rest of the album.
I enjoyed this album much more than I thought I would. The downside is that it is incredibly long and as much as it was enjoyable in short bursts its not as an overall listening experience. If they created a tight edited album I could see rating it higher than I have for this one.
I have to admit that I was very hesitant going into this album. Unfortunately, the older I get, the less appealing hip hop becomes to me. Nothing against it—it has its place—but most of it resonates more with a younger version of myself. Now that I’m older and past that stage of my life, it’s hard to find that neutral ground. So, I started this album with my guard down and my criticism left behind. Right from the beginning, it reminded me how much fun this era of hip hop was. All these MCs really blew up and went on to successful solo careers. It’s amazing to look back at how they all evolved after this album. Another great aspect of this album is the music production. I love the production and beats.
I listened to the whole album twice and then my two favorite tracks (WTC A’int Nuthing Ta F’Wit; CREAM) another 2 or 3 times today. Very solid 4!
Most of these I don’t classify as “songs”, but the samples used and the production are generally quite pleasing. The lyrics are pretty clever for the most part. The surround mix was better than expected, with some verses coming from the left or right rear channel, and various samples, mostly keyboard-based, coming like that as well. A 3.5 rounded up to 4 due to the surround mix.
I knew this would be between a 4 and a 5. But I think when I listen to this normally, I play “bring da ruckus” and then skip straight to “cream.” The cream / method man / protect ya neck / tearz run is great, but the first half of the album is not my favorite.
probably one of the best albums i have ever listened to; songs were fucking incredible but also the transitions and use of sampling throughout was so insanely sick
there’s a reason people consider this one of the best hip hop albums of all time
another hip-hop, another dislike
Musically innovative and timelessly relevant, but padded with way too many interludes
fuck yeah with this one. It’s even better than the last time I listened to it. They were on FIRE! Greatest rap group of all time. RIP ODB!
Pretty good. Sounds dated. But can also pick up on the influence it put out.
The first old school rap album that I enjoyed.
86% Best: Shame On a N***a; Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthing ta F' Wit; C.R.E.A.M.; Method Man Must-Hear? Sure
Better than I expected it to be. Not really a rap guy, but this was good, the compositions were tight. The message was for the most part interesting to listen to
Favorite Track: C.R.E.A.M.
I get that this was a really important album in the evolution of hip hop, and listening to it I can understand why, but it feels like the genre has surpassed this so far that it hasn't aged well. I'm glad to have listened to it, but I won't again.
As good as hip hop gets I think? Creating a musical world by blending hard core rap with the sounds of martial arts movies is pretty innovative and works really well. Through a full listen I do wonder if it’s all really dumb though. Who cares if all these guys are tough? Went through a phase with Wu Tang and still come back to GZA’s Liquid Swords.
I wonder if there is anyone who is REALLY into rap skits. Like they have a list of the ten best rap skits on different albums and get really passionate about their criteria for what makes a good rap skit. I'd like to meet that person and discuss rap skits with them. Anyway I can see why people like this. These guys are very menacing, and are good at telling rhymes about why we should be frightened.
Ive never taken the time to dig into the Wu Tang Clan universe yet and after my first trip through, I can say that I understand the cult following. I loved that each track has a feel of the rapper leading it. It stays on the agressive side of delivery, but there is still a lot of variation. I would put this as the best rap album we have crossed so far for my tastes. Doggy style was also interesting and obviously cool, but this matched my tastes much more
Will reiterate again I know very little about rap but this has some awesome funky sampling and fun flow on top of it. Some really fun songs, even if I might not come back to many, happy to have heard this. Lots of skits, eh? I was trying to think of any rock bands that did skits and the only one I can think is the album In Search of Lost Time by the band Partner - they do phone calls with their mom, dad, record producer, photographer - pretty fun album!
Fun raps.
i mean this is pretty epic
Ну средне. Пару раз почувствовал, что качало. Но это было 2 раза за 3 прослушивания. Я понимаю, почему это в свое время стало успешным. Однако я не носитель этой культуры, мне от ВуТанга далеко.
regular hip hop album 2 stars
I fuckin'... fuckin' found this fuckin' album notable only fir bein a fuckin' swearfest on a fuckin' epic fuckin' scale. I'm gonna fuckin'... fuckin' fuck it wit fuckin' two fuckin' stars.
I can't believe I never listened to this until recently. Just last week actually. I understand why its so lauded. Its fun, catchy and a blast to listen to. Just incredible.
Five stars. No notes.
My list started with a lot of albums that I am very familiar with the only exception being "Jazz Samba" by Stan Getz and Charlie Byrd. Of all my albums so far I have not listened to any as much as I have listened to "Enter the Wu-Tang." It is very cliched that I as a 46 year old white guy love Wu-Tang but I will have to lean into it. I have loved this album since I was 15 years old and it is an absolute masterpiece. What people say about Illmatic, To Pimp a Butterfly, My Twisted Dark Fantasy, etc. is probably undeserved but this is one of the top albums of all time across genres.
fucks heavily
Not for me
Youtube had a Clean version, so that's what I listened to. There's lots of anger, but the upbeat parts are fun and the slow parts are comfortable. Innovative and influential, so it still sounds fresh.
This is an aesthetically cohesive album from a really lurid and inventive group. It's very stylized (the movie clips, the samples, the weird production) but still authentic. It's often absurd and messy and full of obscure references, like real life, and I think that's helped it age better than your more didactic political hip hop from the same era. Favorite tracks were 'Tearz' and 'Protect Ya Neck'.
Honestly sounds like they were having a fun time. I liked the sound, liked the flow, even liked the skits. Cool stuff!
Just not my genre; I recognize the importance the album had but to me it just sounds like the same song over and over again; barely sounds like singing
Don’t want to hear so much swearing and rapping about how great they all are.. I’m clearly not Wu-Tang’s target demographic. Wish I appreciated this more than I did, but that goes for all the solo albums by these members as well. 2/5
NO
I really like 90s hip hop and this didnt disapoint though unfortunately i probably still have more fondness for Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul. I quite enjoyed the incorperation of more classical instruments like pianos and strings in some of the songs and the general poetry of the lyrics is really good. CREAM was a particular standout and i also enjoyed the 7th chamber. I also think the pop culture references were really fun. Altogether a realy good album but probably not among my favourite hiphop albums. I was also really hungry while i listened to this so that may have affected my rating lol
ersti zwei songs bediened mega da woni mer vo wu tang vorstell: geili flows cooli samples irgendwelchi usschnitt us kampfsportfilm, und so allgemein es gfühl vo sich huere mächtig fühle. chli skit heavy gad. aber ich ha huuere spass d beats gönd so unglaublich dumm. so chillig ich bi nur am headboppe und ihri flows sind crazy. sie sind chli am pokemon mode und seged ihri näme eeehner hüfig. ich glaub afoch basierend uf wie sie alles pbere bringed mueses es vieri sii. finds haaard. no eis lied.

Очень качовый, я прям слышу, как вслед за этим альбомом пошло разветвление в жанре хип-хопа и появились вдохновлённые группой артисты. Мне понравилось!
On one hand I liked a couple of songs, on the other - the long ass skits were annoying and the rapping felt too old I'll rate it lower for no reason
A bit too harsh for me
Not my kind of music so probably deserved another listen before I pass judgment. I can’t say I’ve immediately warmed to it, however I understand the appeal and appreciate their impact and importance.
Early hip hop - ok if you like that sort of stuff
Hip hop that I didn’t really enjoy listening to but was fine.
4/10
One of the first hip-hop albums I heard as a teenager (around the late 00s/early 10s) and I still love the gritty lo-fi atmosphere this album gives off. C.R.E.A.M. & Can It Be All So Simple are damn near perfect, Chessboxin’ & Protect Ya Neck are hits, I personally prefer 7th Chamber Pt. II to Pt. I and while the Wu truly are nuthing ta f’ wit, that’s easily my least favourite song here. Great album overall!
Stone cold classic. Great album.
1993 might be the golden age of the golden age of hip hop. So many strong releases that year. This one was the stylistic antithesis to all of them. Dark and gritty east coast vibes, and a deep roster of incredible talent somehow coming together in the right time. IMO, this is Wu's strongest group album, paving the way for more than a few immaculate RZA produced solo efforts over the next five years or so. Got to check Wu on their last tour with Nas and De La Soul, and that felt like a gift.
Good to crank some homework too. Liked it
Found this 4 years too late
ultimate head bop album
And it’ll get even worse word to god it’s the wu coming thru
Real tight early 90s hardcore hip hop album. Really holds its own 30 years later.
Good hop music
Double up on your socks because this album ( & group ) will knock your socks off!!!
Ah, how can anyone not appreciate a hip hop beat. Did, however, make me feel very middle age, middle class, vanilla 😂🙈
Rating: 3.5/5 | Favorite Track: Bring Da Ruckus --- Admittedly, I am not well-versed in hip-hop, and I know I will reevaluate this album eventually. However, for now, it really isn't my thing.
I really appreciate their sense of humour.
This record speaks for itself so I'll pose a question. When, in hip hop have we ever had a group like WuTang? They are truly one of a kind and pioneers of almost every contemporary rap genre.
Beats were ridonkulous, each member had a very distinct style. The feel seems to me to be quite characteristic of a time and place with which I am unfamiliar, yet I recognize it all the same.
Trop bien !
Easy listening but too much repetitive, seems to be an 1 hour audio loop
Total disaster
A unique work of dark, hardcore garage rap, where each member of the collective had to earn their right to rap through battles, giving it a very special raw spontaneity and yes, it’s fun. Only Onyx, emerging at the same moment and on the same scene, gave me similar chills. A definitive reference, one of the top album ever made in rap. Absolute fire.
Okay, there's supposed to be something with Shaolin and some chambers. I'm not into Shaolin or martial arts; that's completely beyond my reach. And I'm sorry, but I don't like the music or the sound of this album either. Maybe the album has a certain significance, but not for me. Hip hop is a genre that completely passes me by. In fact, I'd even say I'm rather against it. Those who like it should enjoy it; for me, it can go. No stars.
charming bit of fun
i hear these boys are not ones to f with
Pretty wonderful album wow. Cant believe this came out in 1993. The beats are incredible, the lyricism is next level.
5 come le canzoni che ho ascoltato.
Honestly, I’ve listened to this album enough to rate it, but I wanted to hear it again. I even listened to the extended version to hear acapella C.R.E.A.M. This is top form for one of the best hip-hop groups of all time. The flow is just so good.
If these guys grew up in a less harsh environment they'd probably be total nerds (not a diss). A bunch of great and classic songs on here but the fellas really need to learn to split up their skits and the real tracks. Two big things I appreciated about this album: (1) Ol' Dirty Bastard sounding like he had just run a marathon before recording every verse; and (2) Method Man starting his solo track telling you how he'll brutally torture you and then slamming into some of the most whimsical verses I've ever heard rapping about Patty-Cake, Green Eggs and Ham, Tweety Bird, Fat Albert, and Mary Poppins.
Some classics on here like CREAM, Wu tang clan ain’t nothing ta f wit, etc. I don’t love it overall, though. I’d say NWA was the better rap group of this era. Kids in middle school whose favorite movie was the Boondocks Saints would always slap people on the back of the neck and yell “PROTECT YA NECK”
Really loved all the samples on this and the way it has that 70s kung-fu theme all the way through. Proof that hip-hop can be darkly fun.
I was excited to listen to this one because I don't think I've ever heard a single Wu-Tang song. I'm also excited to see a hip-hop group on this list because it can lead so Brit pop heavy. I know how important Wu-Tang is culturally and their contributions to music and the culture can't be undermined. All that being said, it's not quite my style. I understand why it is on this list, and I appreciate that it is, I just wouldn't listen to it again. They also seem to say their group's name in every song which makes me laugh. It's not bad though, and I wouldn't turn it off if I heard it It's a solid 3.
big fan, gonna need to re listen but these guys are og
Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) is raw, gritty, and iconic. Wu-Tang Clan really came in swinging and proved they were absolutely nothing to f*** with. The beats are dusty and menacing, the verses are sharp, and the personalities are larger than life. It’s like getting mugged by a group of lyrical ninjas in a Shaolin dojo—and honestly, you kind of enjoy it. Standout tracks like “C.R.E.A.M.,” “Protect Ya Neck,” and “Wu-Tang Clan Ain’t Nuthing ta F’ Wit” are untouchable. RZA’s production is dark and stripped down, giving the MCs all the room they need to go off—and they do. Not every track hits equally, but when it does, it really does. It’s chaotic, sometimes messy, but that’s part of the charm. A must-listen for any hip-hop fan, and a strong 4 stars for one of the most influential rap albums ever made. Favorite song: Wu-Tang Clain Ain't Nuthing ta F' Wit
70 seconds in... oh God, there's gonna be an hour of this? Still, better than Kanye West.
One of the best albums ever not just rap
BRING DA RUCKUS Best Song: Bring da Ruckus Rating: 10/10 Stars: 5/5
An amazing hip-hop album. I can see this being an absolute trailblazer when it came out in the 90s. Excellent beats, samples from martial arts movies, solid chemistry between the members. My only problem is... unfortunately, like a lot of hip hop albums before a certain time... it seems to drag. I have to take a star away for that, but it's not to diminish it's influence. Fav tracks: Bring da Ruckus, Shame on a Nigga, Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthing ta F' Wit, C.R.E.A.M. (Cash Rules Everything Around Me), Protect Ya Neck
To someone who grew up on the polished hip hop of the 2000s, this is an album that I respect more than I actually enjoy. It's just a bit too raw and chaotic for my liking, even compared to something like Liquid Swords from a few years later. Kind of a "you had to be there" type of feel. The second half is much stronger in this regard, taking more creative risks in the production. Listened to: at home, on vinyl. Favorite tracks: Bring Da Ruckus, CREAM, Tearz
Already have listened to this, classic rap album 4/10
Already was a favorite of mine. Can rate easily as masterpiece CREAM
Wu-Tang again and again. it's probably only been a few week since my last listen to this record, but if it's on the list I listen to it. Dollar dollar bills y'all
Brings the muthafuckin' ruckus!!! Some cool stuff and I get why it’s on the list, but rap just isn't my thing.
Not a huge fan but understand why it's so revered by lovers of the genre.
Surprised how much i liked it
Unique rap album, jazzy-electronic type beats, and rhyming is pretty nice.
I regret not listening to Wu-Tang in the past, hoping for more in the album generator list, Method Man was by far my favorite song from this.
American hip hop trash
Easily one of the greatest rap albums of all time. C.R.E.A.M. is one of my absolute favorites. The interludes make it really immersive, and honestly a lot more approach than the gritty hip hop would be on its own.
I enjoyed this…somewhat. Most of the songs are great, but I tend to really dislike albums with a lot of talking bits inbetween, you know? So if I’m rating the album as a whole, I’m gonna have to go lower than I would if I was just rating the songs themselves. 3/5
hip hop + Kung Fu = superb rap battle musical theatre
Unclear if giving this 2 stars would qualify as fucking with them, so I'll stay in the safe side
Really good but runs a little long
certainly ain't nothing to fuck with
Great songs and flow, but suffers from that issue of being hard to the microphone, I always find myself imagining the recording of that, *being tough guys at mic* "cut, okay this time try leaving out the part about fucking their dad. Sounding good guys, take 2!"
Ein HipHop Klassiker von The Wu-Tang Clan. Auch Stunden später hört das Kopfnicken nicht auf. Mit Einarbeitung toller Samples von Song Klassikern aus dem frühen 20. Jhdt., kreieren "der Clan" geschmeidige Beats, die so klingen, als wären sie in ihrem Bandraum aufgenommen worden. Jeder mit seinem ganz eigenen Flow, fühlt man jedoch Wu-Tang an jeder Ecke :D
Ich fand das Album mit 18/19 mega und hab es dann die ganze Zeit im Auto gehört (als ich noch eines hatte). Jetzt hab ich es irgendwie aus den Augen verloren und als ich dann „Tearz“ gehört hab ist mir wieder eine so gute Erinnerung gekommen. Innsbruck auf einer richtig guten Party mitten in der Nacht das Lied gehört und überzeugt gewesen, es ist der beste Song überhaupt. Das Lied am nächsten Morgen aber einfach nicht gefunden und wochenlang diskutiert und gesucht :D. Ich bin zwar nicht der größte Wu-Tang Fan aber ich bin jetzt super dankbar für diese Erinnerung! Das Album ist solide und hat seinen Platz in dieser Liste verdient. Das Shaolin-Thema trifft den Geist der 90er und passt wie ein Deckel auf den Topf! 4/5 Lieblingssong natürlich „Tearz“!
Good reminder that I’m not much of a fan of hip hop/rap
It's alright. Not for me so much.
Well, I can tell I quit listening to hiphop around this time. Not bad, just not my jam. Kind of messy.
There is a book called 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. It says that this album still sounds unique. It also says this album can be a master piece or full off well-made nonsense. I strongly lean on later option. To me this is certified garbage.
There are only a handful of albums that truly define my musical taste, and this is undoubtedly one of them. This album is a masterpiece that reshaped hip-hop and set a new standard for the genre. Simply put, this album is solid gold.
Another album I've actually listened to before! This is the sound of hip hop, which I like and appreciate. Samples from classic and obscure sources a like, lots of style, humour and especially good music. I'm not going to go into the rhymes and flow, because I don't know enough about this. Let's just say that Wu-Tang had some of my favourite rappers among their ranks.
4/10
Great production and sound, I can bop my head but I can't sing along. The skits are a little long, but its about the right runtime.
Iconic in a lot of ways, showcases the groups wide talent, big impact on the direction of hip hop in nyc, but largely underwhelming for me… it was ok. Look it was their debut album, they still had lots to grow on but it is culturally important.
Wu Tang is for the children.
Debut de una banda fundamental en el rap. Crearon un universo y lenguaje propios, a partir de la asociación de sus miembros (que tuvieron buenas carreras solistas en paralelo y en diferentes discográficas, lo que también fue excepcional). Responsables de la reconquista del rap en la costa este, aunque por ahí andaban 3rd base o los imprescindibles Digable Planets (no hace falta citar a Beastie Boys, Eric B. & Rakim, De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest y Jungle Brothers). En mi opinión no están al nivel de gigantes como Dr. Dre o Nas, pero no se quedan muy atrás. No es un disco largo, lo que se agradece en un álbum de rap. Tiene buenos temas, para mi el mejor es Shame on a Nigga, con un sonido aún vigente, pero otras joyas son Protect Ya Neck o CREAM Si Native Tongues se fijaron en África, ritmos y letras positivas, Wu Tang Clan lo hicieron en las artes marciales, fisolofía oriental, islam y trozos de películas de Bruce Lee. Aún sonaban fescos entonces, luego se les fue la mano, y la sobreexposición, y el éxito limitó su credibilidad y mermó el interés por sus discos que no perdieron calidad.
Overall an understandably classic project. It's a collection that serves as a platform to show off each of the clans members, highlighting their different styles of flow and proficiency. While the lyricism flows well, the lyrics themselves don't tend to be very interesting aside from an entertaining usage of language. While there are a few standout tracks that I come back to, overall the track list doesn't lend itself to repeat listens on individual songs. Some tracks like CREAM and Wu Tang ain't Nothin Ta F With offer more variety in the instrumental but most involve very repetitive beats with the variations in vocal performance offering the most momentum. A solid and important album in the genres history that blends comedy and showboating with a display of prowess but lacking progression in instrumentals that would keep me replaying songs more often.
4.1 2x on flight to SFO 2/24 catch up
recently i had a fixation on The Best Of Muddy Waters which rly is a collection of spaces that are filled Entirely with personality, its only just now occurring to me fsr that the genre that rly ran with that effect is hip hop and possibly nowhere more so than this album. every wu tang member is something like the idealized version of themselves on record, obviously not an uncommon thing in hip hop but the aesthetic coherency, sense of mythology and ofc variety in the roster have always left an imprint both on Me and obviously music history generally. rly is just pure formal pleasure and energy!! rza's production has also fully clicked for me, in part because ive been thinking a lot about jazz form recently LOL the sour spicy bits of his samples are rly compelling and (compared to later hip hop beats that more try to stand On Their Own) particularly important as a harmonic component, as if the verses on top are a bebop solo. odb and ghostface are my my faves :) inherently a lil exhausting ofc but still one of the best times u can have listening to a record probably!
After listening to this all I can think is "Wu Tang Ain't Nuthing to F' Wit"!
WU-TANG CLAN AINT NOTHIN TO FUCK WITH That’s it, that’s the review
No other rap group like the Wu. So individually talented and well-balanced. They had it all -- lyricism, beat selection, lore, and technical execution. This is an absolute S-tier, GOATed album from Voltron in full attack mode. What I love most about this album is how incredibly cohesive it's production feels. From the moment the album opens we are launched into RZA's universe. A delightfully grimy one in which Kung Fu is king, the drums are dusty, and the keys sprinkle their light through the dark burbling basslines. Within this universe Wu Tang are at the helm, bobbing and weaving, flowing off one another, and, in the case of ODB, losing their god-damned minds. Each song builds upon a common lore in which Wu Tang are larger than life and in charge of their own destinies among a gritty and often bleak street life. Across the hour playtime, are littered plenty of quality posse cuts (Da Mystery of Chessboxin', C.R.E.A.M, Protect Ya Neck) and examples of individual prowess (Method Man). Notes on a few of my favorites: Da Mystery of Chessboxin': such a simple beat, but I love the Asian plucking and little vocal doo-da. And each member goes off -- especially ODB and Ghostface. Method Man: classic intro and just unparallelled flow from the man himself. Never tire of this one.
I'd say a hard 4 stars for me. Shout out to Maryland somehwere in there
Love this style of rap/hip hop. From the punchy, bouncing beats to the collaborative style of having multiple artists on tracks; similar to Tribe. First time listen and I'm happy to give this a high 4. Would definitely come back to this one and look forward to more Wu.
Some good old fashioned straight up rap from Wu Tang. The flows and beats were great and I really liked that all members get involved especially because there are so many. CREAM is an all time song
Every single one of these songs bangs. Even the chillest of songs Can It All Be So Simple. Just nothing really like the Wu. Crazy that a group of that many people can stay together for so long while going off doing "solo" stuff. This might be my favorite hip hop album of all time. Insane production from RZA with the kung fu influences. The beginning of Method Man cracks me up every time. Wu-Tang. For the Children!
Ah, the Wu-Tang. I was always aware of Wu-Tang Clan but didn’t spend a lot of time with their music which is a little surprising given my love and appreciation for 90’s hip hop. I’ve revisited their catalog later in life and come to appreciate it more. My biggest issue with many hip hop albums from this era were the “skits” and added material outside of the actual songs. Most of the time, I found it tedious to get through an entire album. For this album, I do enjoy the Kung Fu material but some of the other “skits” I wanted to end sooner than they did. However, the songs, beats, and vibe of this album are great. This whole group should not work. 9 members? No way. But it does. And works so well. Wu-Tang Clan ain’t nuthing ta F wit! Extremely strong 4.
In the middle of all this raucous trash, someone actually broke into song and mouthed words that seemed to have some thought and intent behind them, but most of this is just loud-talking junk - doesn't fall under my definition of "music" and has no discernible redeeming social value. One track sounds like a committee discussing the enterprise's mission statement - why take up anyone's time with that? The dang album is 70 minutes long as it is - cut that junk at least.
listened to again the OGs, what a crew
5/5 The Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band of Hip Hop. If you have any interest at all in Hip Hop this is an essential album. Clan in da Front!
Bring the motherfucking ruckus! This is a classic for a reason, the beats still hit hard and cut like 1000 blades. There is an edge to the production. As a group they would never top this, but individually they have come real close a few times
I always want to like them. Maybe I need to sit and listen to the lyrics more? It's not bad at all, catchy at times, I just want to more than I do....
Valt tegenwoordig toch een beetje tegen. Paar hele gave nummers, maar ook veel van hetzelfde. Trucje voelt een beetje gedateerd.
I really enjoyed a couple of tracks in here - cream, can it all be so simple.
30/1089 - Energy is super high and fun. I like how the high octane rapping contrasts with the relaxed jazz and soul samples. This has some good variety due to the many different rappers contributing to this album. A few interludes seemed a bit unnecessary but they were luckily short.
First? 3,5/5 Again? 2/5
Hip-hop once again. I listened to two tracks on the album. The usual aggressive screaming. I don't need to hear that. I'm not in the mood for that. The only good thing about the album is that I wasted no time and finished it quickly. 1/5
I like the early 90s feeling of this album. it has a lot of the emotion from early rap with the beats of 90s rap which is really fun. i enjoyed this album quite a lot even if i wouldnt to download all of it. Bring da ruckus is good, so is da mystery of chessboxin and c.r.e.a.m. 3.5/5 stars.
The Staten island slaughters. A stone cold classic. That midsection of the record is just one of the greatest hip hop songs of all time just back to back to back ect. It's wild. The production is so great. Every beat is the quintessential ny 90s sound. It's insane. Then just a handful of the best to ever do it just laying bar after bar down like it ain't nothing. I just can't believe it.
Is great. 4 star.
A few iconic songs. Mostly just sounds the same throughout
All-time classic
very solid, lotsa bangers
Liked some of it, not really my preferred style to listen to all the time.
As a certified rap hater I'll try to be open minded... I love Wu Tang. Constant bangers. Different styles to mix it up. Fun music. That's a 10
"I'll sew your asshole closed and keep feeding you and feeding you." Now that's good 90's rap. What a wicked album, many of the songs are bangers with fantastic beats. The members all bring their own flair to the group while everyone sounds in tune with everyone else. The 90's were a great time with great rap, but this album truly stands out as one of the better albums of the decade. I have returned to edit: Apon further review, this album gets a 5. It's nothing but bangers from start to finish. This could hype up anybody and I stand by that!
Rap at its most raw, gritty, and lyrical. A landmark in hip hop history, and a template for numerous rap albums to follow. This album is waaaaay better than I remember. Dark, hardcore new york style. Protect ya neck and Wu-Tang: 7th Chamber - Part II hit so unbelievably hard.
Gritty and dirty, one digs the spare, haunting beats and mix of distinct voices. One finds much of the storyline and posturing to be borderline silly. Still, highly original and still lands with impact today.
3.5
3.5 - Yeah it was good, but quite long. Nice beats but nothing ground breaking
I went and opened my RYM and I had previously rated 36 Chambers a very controversial 2.5 stars. I think its the skits, they really feel like they interrupt the flow for me. There is clearly some great music here, 2.5 stars was harsh, however I do still think this is an overrated album. Maybe I should stick to the 9 track version on Apple Music which I'm guessing is clear of skits. Fave Tracks: Can It All Be So Simple, C.R.E.A.M., Tearz 3.4/5
Didn’t listen to it all but I enjoy the them
Super cool to think about how a bunch of 20 year olds with different styles got together to create and imagine a better future for themselves and in the process made one of the greatest albums of all time.
I got into hiphop a little too late to appreciate Wu-Tang Clan at its prime, but I do know this is a classic album, and it was great to listen to it in its entirety. Protect Ya Neck!
it was a fun listen; i really enjoyed the last song and the beats were good across the album. not my preferred or go-to genre but it was an easy listen for someone who is unfamiliar with the style and the features were cool
Great album, another one of my classic rap albums that I grew up with in high school. Shout out "Cream"
This is #day186 of my #1001albumsyoumusthearbeforeyoudie challenge, and... believe it or not, I’ve never heard either Wu-Tang Clan or this album before, though I've certainly seen it regarded as seminal. That said, the instrumentals on "Shame on a Nigga" ring a bell! This is the kind of hip-hop I'm after: the beats, the samples, the productions. It's menacing, gritty, lean… All out '90s. The experimental edge stands out, and it's not just due to the raw sound but also the cinematic quality, part of which is delivered through the martial clips. Listening to this album feels like being in the middle of a rap battle. It sounds live. Reading through the negative reviews here reminded me of that Eminem line from Renaissance: "You nerdy pricks would find somethin' wrong with 36 Chambers." Well, I didn't. This is a 4 out of 5. Looking forward to #day187.
Not a genre I listen to normally. Enjoyed it, but I don’t really have the context to judge it. No rating
This took me back, what an interesting first day using this service.
I heard Bring Da Ruckus and went – yep, that's a classic/5 alright.
As some others have indicated, I know that this is a record of historical significance, etc., but it's still not that nice to listen to.
So this is not my thing but it’s cool to finally listen to such a landmark. 7th Chamber is so far my fav.
WU! WU! WU!
90
god I love this album soooo much!!!!!
Perfect no notes
Wu Tang again? Yes, again and again! Depending on the day, this is my number one (or number 2) hip hop album of all time. The beats are so grimy and dusty and dialed in. The samples are so perfect. Kung Fu and hip hop? Yes Please. RZA's production on this will never be matched. The rhymes are insane. These guys just got in the booth for hours and looked for ways to one up each other. The skits are actually worth listening to. We get some of the most memorable hooks in all of hip hop. And just some of the best rappers who ever played the game. GZA, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Method Man! Are you kidding me?! We're introduced to ODB, raps insane dirty uncle who lays down some of the funniest bars. I have listened to this album countless times, and I still hear new things. 10/10. It's a perfect album
I mean shit. Wu-Tang forever
This one won me over. Will definitely have to come back to it bc there seems like quite a bit to unpack with such a giant cast of characters. I can’t differentiate between any of the people. Did I just hear ODB or GZA? Who da hell knows! Standouts: “Method Man”, “Wu-Tang Clan Ain’t Nuthin Ta Fuck Wit”
What can you say? If you don’t like this record, you don’t like 90s hip hop. This record is a masterpiece of grimy beats, violent scenery, crew-based battle raps, dark humor, and massive ego. The skits are tiresome after the first time, but they contribute to the feeling that this is a whole world you are stepping into. RZA’s world. Where every street corner has its own dope slinger, all the b-boys are strapped, Land Rovers stalk like predators, and….kung-fu. It’s pretty cool that 32 years later this music is still shockingly weird and immediate and fresh. RZA’s production style is like no one else, except for all the people who came after and wanted to be RZA. The MC talent is so ridiculously deep here that they already sounded like a supergroup on the first album. Anyway, if this isn’t a 5-star rap album, then there isn’t a 5-star rap album.
Ok it’s good
Few hip hop albums get better than this.
Pretty skibidi
Oh, man... why are all 90s hip hop albums so long? All right already with the skits! Oh, look, there's a 36-minute version streaming—sold! Maybe I'll dig deeper at some point when time's not so tight. There is a lot to like on here, after all.
Here’s another one that suffers for me because I didn’t listen to it at the time. Insanely influential with a sound that became a template, listening to it 32 years later sounds familiar and a bit simplistic to me. Most tracks just don’t command my interest. Several of the rappers sound great and there are some clever parts, production, and wordplay. I’m sorry I missed this in its time.
I knew a lot more of this album than I expected. And I really enjoyed it. I've never been a huge Wu Tang fan like a lot of people seem to be, but I don't think it's because I didn't like them. Just not that exposed I guess.
This one is a hip hop classic. You can really hear the influence this album had on other hip hop stuff. Very cool.
I feel like I should have a stronger reaction to what is apparently a seminal record...but I'm afraid I don't. I didn't dislike it. I didn't love it.
A museum worthy masterpiece.
One of the best rap debut album ever. This was a game changer and still relevant to this day. Probably their best album and I really love triumph in enter the wu like a lot. This was groundbreaking and still is. One of the best rap albums ever
Amazing album fucking great not the last time I will listen to this
Bangs
It's 36 chambers. What else can I say
american kung fu 4/5
Difficult to rate if you are not a hip-hop fan. But otherwise, I have to say that 90's r & b, hip hop and most of the black music were fantastic, not as nowadays
Een absoluut legendarisch album van een legendarische groep, maar desondanks is dit een album wat ik nooit zou overwegen voor m'n top 10 rapalbums. Ik heb eigenlijk niks van Wu-Tang in m'n eigen playlists en rotatie. Dit is het begin van de East Coast Renaissance en daarom is het niet gek dat het in deze lijst staat, maar ik vind een hoop dingen die hierna kwamen en die hier waarschijnlijk direct door beïnvloed zijn net wat leuker. Ik noem hierbij graag voor de tweede keer deze week het in deze lijst ontbrekende The Infamous van Mobb Deep. Ondanks m'n friszure praat hierboven is dit wel gewoon een hele dikke 4 sterren voor mij. Dit kan ik iedere dag aanzetten. Thuiskomen zonder nog huiswerk te hoeven maken, een vrije dag, hobbyen. Comfortabele boombap voor m'n witte oortjes. Heb meteen drie nummers in een playlist gegooid. Misschien komt het ooit nog goed met me. En die C.R.E.A.M. beat is iconisch.
Had this album on in the background whilst working so did not really listen to it. Most of the songs just drifted by. Did recognise a few from back in the day and can appreciate why it is so important in the evolution of hip hop. 3 from me.
Can It Be All So Simple? You know what they say, Cash Rules Everything Around Me
Heard a song from this because of Joe Rogen Pod
Fav: C.R.E.A.M (Cash Rules Everything Around Me) Least Fav: Da Mystery Of Chessboxin’ The talk about torture techniques was certainly a choice that was made
Not quite my style as a whole. A few good beats, but I like my rap usually a bit tamer, 80’s I suppose.
A classic! A super influential album! A lot of bangers! They would go on to make better solo albums but this album was huge for hip hop.
"En garde!" 36 chambers is the gold standard of posse rap for many reasons! I think my biggest takeaways this listen was just how much fun they were having while making this. These 8-9 geeky dudes just rocked up to the NYC studio and had a great time. I love the hardcore delivery yet refreshing lack of gangsta lyrics (not that there's anything wrong with that, but the variety is nice) and the laugh out loud bars on every song.
I can't really get excited about this genre of hip-hop (god i'm such a hater 😭), though I appreciate how light-hearted it is and how it doesn't take itself super seriously my favourite song was probably Method Man, I feel like it's the most unique and creative overall while it's not really my thing you can clearly see the influence for later hiphop which i enjoy more, particularly with the "random" samples which artists like MF DOOM would develop more heavily in the future
Peak, I don't usually listen to songs with much swears but its peak.
Great time, enjoyable listen for sure. Wu-Tang is a great time no matter what time of the day.
I can see why these guys made such a big splash and became so influential. This is some powerful music with a whole lot to say.
Just not my thing.
1/5
I was feeling pretty terrible today but this album got me off the ground and back into the fight. 4 stars for the ruckus, and 1 extra for the Chappelle's Show skits.
5/5
First 6 songs bad. Not my style but it was okay
Real Unc music. Absolute classic record. Makes me “CREAM” my pants on every listen. Pause. Play… I like the use of humor and how everyone’s verses are very long and distinct.
Some good old school rap. I’m sure that album has lots of stories to tell and of its significance but it’s not my main thing.
Actually really good considering I don't really like rap.
A classic.
really not my cup of tea
Bursting with personality and creativity, there’s no other rap group quite like Wu-Tang Clan.
Not for me
If what you say is true, the Shaolin & the Wu-Tang could be dangerous.
Is it hip hop or rap? I don’t know but I like the beat.
