Anyone else a fan? One of the greatest hip hop crews in history. And one of the few mainstream current hip hop acts that is actually worth checking out. I have all their records and cant think of a single one thats crappy.

I love their gritty rhymes. I love the shaolin references and the love of old karate movies and stuff.

I can picture this music being played in the inner city and people like brutally beating people while this plays as the soundtrack.

THis is intense music. 9 MC's, and all are genuis

    my brother gave me 36 chambers when I was about 11 and it floored me, rhyme-wise.

    C.R.E.A.M is brilliant.

    Love the WU. Especially the Gza-- he's fuckin brilliant, they don't call him the Genius for nothing. Can't wait to see them at Rock the Bells.

    Also, Cuban Lynx, Ironman and Liquid Swords are pretty much perfect albums.

    You're referring to Ol' Dirty, not Masta Killa.

    36 Chambers is the best rap album of all time and one of my most listened to albums ever, its actually brilliant. That being said, as a group they have released some pretty crap albums........Wu Tang Forever had a few great tunes but too much filler......The W had a couple decent tracks.......their last one has like one good song and I hated the rest. Liquid Swords is actually brilliant, Return to the 36 Chambers is great, Ghostface's albums are all solid, but the rest of their stuff is mostly crap.
