1001 Albums Summary

This is not only one of the most influential hip hop albums of all time, but also one of the most engaging, entertaining, and borderline hilarious rap albums of all time. The longevity of this albums reign over the boom bap genre is even still very strong even over 30 years later. The only thing that turns me off of this album is how it has aged. It suffers from one of the things that most albums which are extremely influential suffer from: Since it's release, those inspired by Wu Tang have gone on to just make better music. Not to say this album is bad! I absolutely adore this record, but I believe in comparison to its successors it just unfortunately isn't as good. Not to mention almost every member of Wu Tang went on to make better music themselves. Other than that, this album is a Boom Bap classic and very fun to listen to, I would recommend this album to anyone attempting to get into hip hop, and as a large hip hop fan myself, I give this album a 4/5. If you like this album you might like 1999 - Joey Bada$$ Low End Theory - A Tribe Called Quest
