Wu Tang turns 30!
To break up some of the sign gate post, I thought I would share the unthinkable. Wu Tang 36 Chambers turns 30 today. In highschool me and my friends listened to the cd constantly for probably 4 or 5 years. Imo it's the greatest rap album ever made. Wu Tang is for the kids!

I've also heard that Wu Tang ain't nuthing to fuck wit, is this true?
November 9th, 2023 at 9:38 PM ^
Yes; it is true. They have been known to bring da motherfuckin' ruckus.

I've heard the same about Santa 🎅
But some are just finding out.

November 9th, 2023 at 8:02 PM ^

Hey! You! Get off my cloud!

you don’t know me and you don’t know my style
November 9th, 2023 at 8:10 PM ^
Loved the series about them on Hulu.
November 9th, 2023 at 8:18 PM ^
I bomb atomically
November 9th, 2023 at 8:30 PM ^
Socrates' philosophies and hypotheses
Can't define how I be droppin' these mockeries
I love that song!
Wu-Tang is here forever, mothertruckers
November 9th, 2023 at 8:41 PM ^
One of the great rap intros ever, IMO.
November 9th, 2023 at 9:07 PM ^
Deck was my favorite, and that opener to triumph cemented it
November 9th, 2023 at 8:20 PM ^
Lots of people go to high school for 5 years…

I had just moved to NYC from Ann Arbor. A friend in the music industry had a conflict and offered me his ticket to the Wu Tang release party at Webster Hall. I had never heard of Wu Tang nor Webster Hall but figured, what the hell.
I get to the party and wander around for a while taking in the scene. I walked up some steps to get a better view of the crowd and venue and suddenly like 20 dudes walk out next to me, one wearing a hoodie with nylons (pantyhose) over his face and carrying a machete. I had somehow ended up on the stage and this was Wu Tang including a machete-wielding Ghostface Killah. I let out a small yelp and scampered off the stage. Scariest moment of my young midwestern life.

I spent my first two years in South Quad from 94-96 smoking a lot of weed, working a lot in a bar, and classing very little (hence my "OneEyedMooseSmokers Section" handle)
Sophomore year, I was told some scholars such as myself a bit a ways down the hall were aficionados of the herb and could help me replenish my dwindling stash. They were unbeknownst to me. Despite me being an unknown stranger, I knocked on their door, and they answered and accommodated. They were kind to let me join them for a nice contemplative session enjoying some tunes and smoke for a bit and the tunes were nothing I had ever heard the likes of before.
Before I thanked them and took leave back to my room after their gracious hospitality and bonhomie, I asked them the name of those fantastically baroque beats.
"Raekwon," they said.

“We the Asian delegation select….the RZA, the GZA, U-God, Inspectah Deck, Ghostface Killa…the Wu Tang Clan!!!”

We want to remind everyone to diversify your bonds!

Konichiwa, bitches.
November 9th, 2023 at 8:26 PM ^
All 47 of them!! Grew up listening to 36 chambers. Over and over
November 9th, 2023 at 8:29 PM ^
Downvoted for lack of OT tag. (not really, protect ya neck)
Also, A Nation of Millions wants a word.
November 9th, 2023 at 8:32 PM ^
I still listen to them everyday while working out
November 9th, 2023 at 8:33 PM ^
Wu Tang, Wu Tang, Wu Tang
I burned a whole in that album.
so good
November 9th, 2023 at 8:35 PM ^
I remember seeing Method Man on Burn Notice when I started binge watching the show a few years ago. Dude just has "it" whatever it is.
C.R.E.A.M. 4 life.

Since we’re off topic, some awesome sports entertainment is on ESPN2, with Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes taking on no. 8 Va Tech. Good stuff!!
November 9th, 2023 at 8:50 PM ^
Favorite Wu Tang member?
Too close to call between Chef Raekwon and ODB for me.
November 9th, 2023 at 8:55 PM ^
I go with MM ("I'll keep feedin' ya, and feedin' ya...") and for his portrayal of Cheese in The Wire, but as a rapper Raekwon ran circles around ODB (basing this largely on Only Built 4 Cuban Linx....)
November 9th, 2023 at 9:08 PM ^
Raekwon my favorite lyricist of the group... ODB cultural impact and iconic MTV News piece where he goes to pick up his welfare check despite having the #1 album in the country at the time. "You owe me 40 acres and a mule, anyway!"
November 10th, 2023 at 12:25 AM ^
Yeah, I'm rolling with ODB and the Brooklyn Zoo! His birthday is next Weds 11/15, for those who still celebrate it...
November 9th, 2023 at 8:52 PM ^
Ol Dirty!!!
November 9th, 2023 at 8:52 PM ^
It’s all about the CREAM!
November 9th, 2023 at 9:22 PM ^
Hell yeah!
Wish they would've toured
or
November 9th, 2023 at 9:53 PM ^
Also, some of the heaviest CREAM:
November 9th, 2023 at 8:57 PM ^
Have to also shout out that Midnight Marauders by A Tribe Called Quest dropped on the same day. Unreal day in hip-hop history.
November 10th, 2023 at 12:26 AM ^
I loved both albums -- what a vast canvas hip hop can be.
November 9th, 2023 at 8:59 PM ^
Mike Jones.
November 9th, 2023 at 9:16 PM ^
Pete Townshend
November 10th, 2023 at 12:07 AM ^
Roger Daltry, John Entwhistle. Can never remember who replaced Keith Moon.
November 10th, 2023 at 12:22 AM ^
Kenny Jones
Zak Starkey now
November 9th, 2023 at 9:30 PM ^
I can't remember what my boss told me to do five minutes ago, but I can name all the members of the Wu-Tang. No idea why. One of those worthless info-bits that take up valuable real estate in my limited brain.
November 9th, 2023 at 9:40 PM ^
36 Chambers is The Godfather
Only Built for Cuban Linx is The Godfather II.

Everybody’s always talkin about the good ol days, right? EVVVERYBODY “the good ol days”. Well, let’s talk about the good ol days.
