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!

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.
