I've always been a huge fan of 1960s and 70s rock, like Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, CCR, Johnny Cash, etc., and in past years I've disliked more and more rap/hip-hop. I would listen to the popular tracks on the radio and enjoy them for a couple days until I realized they all are just terrible rehashed beats and lyrics about nothing. A few months ago I decided I wanted a good rapper/rap group to listen to, and I remember always seeing the Wu-Tang Clan appear in Chappelle's Show (my all-time favorite tv show), but I never listened to them. I bought "36 Chambers" with only the knowledge that it was rated very high here on amazon. When I first heard "Shaolin shadowboxing, and the Wu-Tang sword-style" I was confused to say the least. Then out of no where I hear "Bring the motha f@#%!n ruckus" and I was blown away. I listened to the entire album 3 or 4 times in a row, and then proclaimed to myself that the Wu-Tang Clan is the best rap group of all-time.
Lyrics are very important to me in music, and today's music has no lyrical depth. The Wu has crazy good lyrics that took me a while to understand a lot of the metaphors used (I'm sure I still don't understand half of them, but that's a good thing in my opinion). Inspectah Deck's verse in "Protect Ya Neck" is probably my favorite verse of the album. Raekwon's verse in "7th Chamber" is tight as you know what. "Shake the ground while my beats just break you down" gets me every time! I also love the repeated terms such as "rap assassin", "rap fanatic", "Shaolin style", "Killa Bees", etc. They just used their own experiences, styles, and flavor in every word; something that isn't done very often today.
Speaking of style and flavor, it amazes me that the Wu (mostly RZA) had the balls to incorporate so much Kung Fu and martial arts film references in this album. It really could have tanked the album, and certainly wouldn't be successful in today's world. But the risk paid off in dividends. It's the only album out there with such a unique style, which is evident throughout "36 Chambers". The beats are good enough to listen to without lyrics. It certainly has the 90s sound that put hip-hop to forefront of the music industry, but has unfortunately been abandoned over the years.
To sum this up as best as I can, I owe the Wu-Tang Clan a lot for awakening me to what hip-hop and rap can be when done correctly. This album, as well as the other Wu-Tang Clan and Wu solo albums, will be on my playlist forever. I stepped to the Wu, and it was the best decision I ever made in my life.

You have to listen to lyrics to understand.

This is Wu Tang Clan best Album of all time. Classic East Coast album with great production from the RZA. The lyricism and cohesiveness from the members is incredible. The album is short, but well worth the listen.

Me encantó el producto, el único detalle es que tiene las etiquetas del lado A y B invertidas, pero no afecta de ninguna forma la escucha.
Si vas a comprar este producto, ten muy en cuenta que el volumen es mucho más bajo que el de otros discos de vinilo, así que tendrás que amplificar más la señal, si no tienes problemas con eso, es un excelente disco, un clásico del Hip Hop
