Synopsis

Amazon.com
It would be near to impossible to dispute that the Wu-Tang Clan are the most important hip-hop collective of the 1990s, something that the Clan seems determined not to let anyone forget. Although they released only two albums as a group in the decade (the ground-breaking Enter the Wu-Tang and the smash Wu-Tang Forever), there have been scads of albums from Wu members, associates, and guests galore--and none of it would have happened without the RZA, the singular producer whose stamp distinguishes the Clan. Working with soundscapes so dense that they have their own gravity, and an entire crew of gifted MCs (not to mention using pianos and strings), Robert "RZA" Diggs opened up mainstream hip-hop to a whole new sound. And he has the hits to prove it--"Ice Cream Man," "Brooklyn Zoo," "Method Man," "Protect Ya Neck," and "Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthin to F Wit." (Also check out Rahzel's version of this classic on Make the Music 2000.) Except for some pointless narration by RZA, this is the perfect intro to the Wu oeuvre--even if the pointlessly commercial "Wu Wear the Garment Renaissance" is included as a bonus track. --Randy Silver

CD Reviews

Classic Wu-Tang Clan
Enlightened | Atlanta Georgia | 10/26/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This disc has all of the hits on it simply put. Cream, Ice Cream, Brooklyn Zoo, Winter Warz, Bring The Pain, Incarcerated Scarfaces etc. Perfect for newcomers to the Wu Tang Clan Empire. The only problem with this album is that some songs were notable left off such as Guillotine, Verbal Intercourse, Can It All Be So Simple, ShadowBoxin and Triumph. But with all the classics that is just a minor setback and shouldnt stop you from buying this album."
