Classic. The production is top notch (even with limited equipment) and the sound so distinctive (and even though I like the early Public Enemy records, I far prefer the production RZA pushed here), strong lyrics and flows. The interludes are a bit much but that's unfortunately pretty classic.
I usually find gangster rap albums heavy going, but this one is a little easier than most. It has an engaging sense of humour with all of the kung fu movie samples and the music has a raw edge to it. Apparently it was recorded in a studio so small that only 8 out of the 9 band members could fit in at any one time, so they would organise impromptu rap battles to decide who was going to appear on each track!
