Conclusion

The debut album by the multi-artist, New York based group Wu-Tang Clan.  At thirteen, this album was in heavy rotation by my brother and after listening to it again on vinyl, I'm surprised I I was even allowed to listen to it.  All in all, this is the basis of how I know hip hop and how I grew to love it.  Entirely produced by RZA, a member of the Wu-Tang Clan, I believe this was the forming of hip hop in the early 90's.  Songs like Bring Da Ruckus, Can't It Be All So Simple and C.R.E.A.M. are just master pieces in their own right.  Let's not forget Da Mystery of Cheeseboxin' which is my favorite album on this record.  Another must have in your collection, you cannot go wrong with the Wu and I will forever associate my Wednesdays with Wu-Tang Clan.

Enjoy!
