Wu-Tang Clan

been listening to the old Wu-Tang albums more than usual recently, everyone knows their debut 'Enter The Wu-Tang' is one of the most important hip hop albums of all time, but the early solo albums are as good if not better, all continuing the kung-fu theme and featuring numerous Wu-Tang guest appearances but still conveying the individual styles of the respective artists...

Method Man's 'Tical' from '94 is sick, all the beats are dark as ****, RZA's production must be second to none when it comes to hip hop...

Then there's '...Cuban Links' ('95) from Raekwon and Ghostface Killah which has to be the best hip hop album of all time, truely paints a dark picture of drug dealing and violance that really grips you, again RZA's production is unbelieveable, another classic from '95 is GZA's 'Liquid Swords' which is awesome and ODB's album which has some timeless moments...

in '96 Ghostface released 'Ironman' with Raekwon and Cappadonna, again, seminal hip hop that beats almost anything that you'll hear from todays artists including the Wu-Tang themselves...

your not wrong, if you like the wu tang style you should check out "Jedi Mind Tricks" super dark hip hop in a similar style to wu tang spliced with alien and conspiracy lyrics, "Violent by Design" is their best album but newest "Legacy of Blood"also savage.............. check em out if you havnt already ;)

The latest Ghostface has production by mf doom on it as well!

i got hold of the 'Psycho Social' album from Jedi Mind Tricks...

only had one listen thus far but it's quite good, have heard elsewhere too that 'Violent By Design' is their best work so i'm on the look out for that now...

yeah that ones got some great lyrics on it but I dont find it as easy to listen to as the others,,,,, they spin off into "Jus Allahs" solo stuff and they rap lots and present the "Army of the Pharoahs" album too all good shit :)

for sure

you wanna check out the afro samurai soundtrack which has just been released - all production by the rza, featuring none other than Big Daddy Kane amongst others.

I also heard a couple of other RZA tracks which sound like a soundtrack/techno hybrid.

that afro samurai album is very good tv show is even better, best animation I seen in ages

i'll have to check out this Afro Samurai...

Been wu-tang fan for long time. All these solo albums by Ghostface, Capadonna and ODB are simply great. Thumps up to RZA for great production. As I remember Killarmy also do briliant music.
