The Wu-tang Clan

[<magnum>]

I was wondering if anyone was a fan of them. I think that they are really talented, and love how they incorporate kung-fu in their songs. If you are really into them I suggest you buy Wutang: Enter the 36 Chambers, and many of the members solo CD's these are the ones I recommend, Masta Killa: No Said Date, Raekwon: Only Built For Cuban Linx, RZA: RZA as Bobby Digital in Stereo, GZA: Liquid Swords, Method Man: Tical, GhostFace Killah: The Pretty Toney Album, and ODB: Return to the 36 Chambers. Those are the CD's I recommend for any of you Wu-tang fans out there.


You should also check out Many other artists that are a part of the Wu-tang family http://users.skynet.be/Wu-Tang/Wu-Family.htm

I thought that this was a cool website because it described how they were affiliated with the Wu-tang clan.

The VenomsFilms have always been an inspiration to rap groups such as Wu Tang Clan. This page documents the countless music samples of the VenomsFilms that can be found in over 20 songs! What's more fascinating is that the themes from many of the VenomsFilms are similar to the themes the artists expressed in their music.

ODB R.I.P.

[Big Red 11]

Definitely like Wu-Tang, but i wouldnt say im a big fan. They had some kick-*** members (ODB, Method) and their music, although rap, isnt as terrible as rap is now.

[AGuyWithaGun]

Being a good friend of Lu's for a long time, I must say he was an influence for me listening to alot of Wu-tang/underground hip hop. Always seemed like they had their finger on the pulse of what could and would move you on any level.
My favorite opening from a song they have??
"Choose the sword and follow me in life, choose the ball and follow your mother....in death."

Oh, and never forget...
"Wu-tang IS for the children."
