Reviews
- The one reason why I'd never sell this record is called Daytona 500. That loop just doesn't age or wear off. A must-play in my hip-hop set for a couple of years blending with ATCQ's 'Scenario' and Kinderzimmer's 'Gegenteil'.
- There are sellers on here claiming this comes with a printed inner, but that is not true. This is a gatefold, and never ever came with a printed inner-anything for any format.
The closest it ever came to a printed inner was the poster that came with the 2010 GOD reissue. - I just got my copy from Amazon. It looks like the chicken and broccoli but it has the actual cover. It is GET 51505-LP. I don't see it listed here.
- Edited 5 years agoMy personal best of Wu-Tang first wave LPs rating:
1. 36 Chambers - this was the most angry and innovative plus it contains the most hits.
2. Ironman - the soul chamber - the best RZA beats, only ONE weaker track (Black Jesus).
3. Liquid Swords - best lyrics - works best as a concept album - colder beats and feel - this is timeless and strong!
After that
4. Only Built 4 Cubin Linx - Rainy Days & the 12"s, very strong LP.
5. ODB Album - Strong LP if in the right "mood".
6. Method Man - don't want to diss Meth, he has a Dope voice.
