Being a person who was born an lived an still live in Staten Island New York WU is inn are blood line and we rock that W for life! 10304 for life!!!! Being 40 years old I only rock Wu.... support your fam
Long overdue. In my opinion though, they need to go meta with it too, not just the standard biopic shit. They need to go inside the minds of RZA and the Clan, something kinda like Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas mixed with Kill Bill mixed with Straight Outta Compton, only better.
I'm from Staten Island and man, the 90s were the greatest years of my life thanks to these guys and it was so nice to meet so many of them, especially Meth, who still lives here, I used to see him everywhere. The nicest guy, great memories.
Only Built for Cuban Links album , opened me up to WU ! True story. I was going to foster homes alot as a child to pay attention to the 36 chambers album . I finally moved in a home that allowed me to listen to hip hop. the other homes I was in was into the Bible heavy. The order I learned their albums 1.Raekwon 2.Ol Dirty 3.Ghostface. 4.Gza 5. Cappadonna 6. UGod 7.Rza 8. Inspectah Deck 9. Masta Killa .Thank you wu tang for helping me cope with Foster Homes , Group Homes Shelters and Psych wards . Life was much better when I brought all of your CD's ❤😙
Be More Careful that’s crazy. That’s how I learned about WU. I heard Cuban Linx a lot. Like incarcerated Scarfaces verbal intercourses then I heard some Wu tang joints like wings of the morning sun all kinds of shit. I’m telling the Wu is timeless.
I just got my 19 year old cousin in to Wu-Tang and all he dose now is talk about Wu-Tang. Which makes me happy that he loves Wu-Tang now, and now I have someone to bump Wu-Tang with.
Three years later I can confirm Wu Tang it's just timeless man! You're gonna feel their energy no matter how old are you or what type of music you're into
Man, stop it. They even included some great new school artists in this video and yet you're still dissing the new school. Hip-Hop is alive and well, you snobby boomer.
I came like refugi to Sweden '92 from Bosnia-Hercegovina and when i heard '93 first time Wu Tang Clan i was in💯,sen that this was my favorite group even today,ODB may God bless your soul & thank you Wu Tang Clan for everything,Wu Tang Clan Forever.
This shoulda been longer for the newer generation.. I'm 44 years old i came up with these guys.. they're extremely MAJOR & IMPORTANT to this kulture 36 CHAMBERS ignited an entire alternate universe within our souls 17 minutes is insulting.. none the less enjoyable any moment in time with these guys is s blessing
i remember buying the cassette with a little money I made handling out flyers got paid went straight to the record store November 9th 1993 on a Tuesday
rubski 1978 YES YES!!!! I DJ I remember when they dropped in Brooklyn Ny buying 2 fill LP Albums and 4 copies of each of 12” singles of CREAM ,METHOD MAN/b side was protect ya neck. Man I played the hell out those records when I was in business. I still have most of them I retired from DJ last year and I listed only one of the full LP album on eBay and it sold for $125. Bucks. If you got it hang on to it because it’s worth money.
Wow. I'm 37 now, and honored that Wutang was a part of my childhood. No shade on modern artists, but the Wu weren't manufactured guys when they came on scene. They were brothers who had nothing but found something to believe in and shared it with the world; and that something was art in it's purest form. And for heaven sake, they WROTE THEIR OWN RHYMES! Some swords were sharper and faster than others, but ALL were warriors. Wu 4ever!!
One thing kids today miss out on is going to the record store to get the newest music. Back in the 90s, we didn't have TH-cam or the internet, so when you wanted music, you drove to the record shop. There was always the "used" section to go get stuff you already knew of...but...you would also hit the "new" section just to see what was going on. So in 93 I was 22 years old and a huge hip hop head. I remember coming across "36 Chambers" and thinking "Wu Tang? What the hell is this?" and i stood staring for a minute...how bad could it be? Got out to the car and popped it in...OH...MY...GOD. It was AMAZING. Just that grimy, NYC, baggie jeans and hoodies, tims style...my jaw dropped and stayed there. I think that album stayed in my stereo for MONTHS. It was one of those seminal albums that defined an era...a "must have" album...to me, there were 3 albums that defined areas of the 90s...you had Dr Dre "The Chronic" for that West Coast sound...Outkast "Southernplayalistic" for the South and, my favorite, Wu Tang "36 Chambers" for that East Coast...if anyone asks me what albums defined that era, those 3. Just my personal opinion. But man...Wu Tang was just the one that grabbed me and dug its claws into me...in 2019 you can STILL listen to that album all the way through... WU TANG FOREVER!
First wave of the Wu-Tang albums from 36 chambers to Ironman, RZA was on a whole 'nother level production wise. He deserves to be up there with the greats like Dre, Primo and Bomb Squad
When Odb kid breaks out his pops rhymes and mannerisms wholly smokes man got chills for real instantly took me back 25 years... wasn’t expecting that...
17 mins isnt enough. I need this in a full length documentary with new rap and old rap artists talking Wu tang. I want billy joels opinions. I want Paul McCartney interviewd about Wu Tang! Let me see this!
Thank you for giving me real music that got me through my roughest and darkest times in my younger years. For this I am truly greatful. WU TANG FOREVER.
The lyrics really stood out to me with this album, dense battle rhymes potent with metaphors. Each Wu MC links his rhymes to crime and violence, allowing his preoccupations to surface subtly and indirectly, rather than spouting off overt gangsta-isms designed to shock ... The hood imagery of the lyrics is utterly pervasive and uncompromising, immersing the listener in a foreign land smack in the middle of New York.
People who really really love the WU can't never say who they favorite...its one of my hardest decisions I ever tried to make and I still can't decide to this day...The struggle
I feel u on this. I was thinking about it with every sample, every one of em talking. But all day I miss the old dirty doggy, the old dirty Chinese restaurant, Osirus,
Yo I'm only 21 but discovered my first Wu-Tang song 5 years ago and have loved them ever since. My favorite thing about them was that they sounded like they literally were just chilling on a street corner when they recorded and spit their shit. It sounded and still sounds amazing.
Goose bumps family. Goose bumps. This takes me back. "Puffy is good, BUT WU TANG IS FOR THE CHILDREN" Classic. R.I.P. ASON UNIQUE A.K.A OLD DIRTY BAYARD. PEACE TO THE GODS.✌ HARLEM WU YORK #MISTAHWHO?
J Ru That’s what odb said at the Grammys !That’s where the saying came from. Well besides it being an obviously legit statement anyway!!! Peace to all 👐👐🏻👐🏼👐🏽👐🏾👐🏿
Same thing happened to jesus.... people hated him for speaking the word of his father... odb was my favorite mc of all time and i have no problem with his son carrying his legacy.. stop hating.
It's like a pastime. I'm 38, and for people in my age bracket, this was like the good ol' days. Kinda like they said in Can it all be all so simple. It was truly a special time, and more than likely will never come back.
36 chamabers was the first HipHop album I ever picked up freshman in HS. 2009 changed my life forever. I was a strickly punk and metal dude. 36 chambers opend a new world for me and I will be forever grateful. WuForver&Ever.
@@soramirez5473 he is corny, that was ODB's personallity but his son is just acting and its cringy as fuck. It sounds like people have pressured him into being the 2.0 of his father. But he was too unique to be copied.
@@benoneill4318 and how exactly do you know that? do you KNOW YDB? and if so can you READ HIS MIND?.. it's his son.. I CRINGE WHEN I DO SOMETHING THAT REMINDS ME OF MY DAD.. ridiculous..
the conviction in Ghostface's being when he said 'We had to come, the Clan had to come, This was already in God's hands' gave me chills not just because they said and believe it but because the world knows its true , much respect to the gods
It’s amazing how this only has 9,000 views so far. If this was a documentary about one of these cross dressing artists that are out now the shit would have a billion views First Day!!!
Growing up in the 90’s, the other punk asses in school would hate on me for rocking the Wu, while they all listened to Master P and Puff Daddy. Funny how time caught up to everyone. Side note - I still feel more than blessed for catching the GZA on the Liquid Swords tour in 2012.
Betcha that some of y'all didn't know that the shaolin monk in the intro was Sifu Shi Yan Ming. Real life Shaolin Disciple and Rza's martial arts instructor.
You know it's weird that monks, Asian didn't make wu-tang clan but the inspiration from there movies Wich they grew up on kung-fu like we all did, honestly if it weren't for shiolin kung-fu were would Wu be
Ya got 2 UNDERSTAND that this shit is deeper than money people lose and gain money on a regular money shouldn't define who a person is really about they are trying 2 tell ya about the struggles that they been through good and bad that at the end of the day they still kept it family
I'm an OG not from NY. But from the Islands and when I tell you this group inspired people on every level I mean all aspects of life from teachers to pastors drug dealers you name it at some point in time it was the Clan that inspired or influenced a whole 3 Generations. Trust and believe probably the most influential musical group of all time. It can never be duplicated its timing was what it was like The Bob Marley and the Whalers. Richard Pryor. Once in a lifetime shit.
Still remember my high school days, listening to protect ya neck was the song playing in my mind when I confronted a long time bully the first fight I ever got into messed up the dudes leg bad with a broken broom stick and his friends that was helping him didn't even want to jump in to help him when he was down on the floor, after that day got arrested for assault but won the case on self defense a year later. But the eyes on me in school I felt like a pariah no one ever talked to me all I heard was leave that kid alone. Even tho I felt alone it still better than being made fun of and beat up on a daily/weekly basis. Thank you WU TANG for existing.
I fux with Griselda but they ain't about saving the babies. They are about destroying not building. No hate on them they just on some different shit from the Wu.
I appreciate the homage that this rap group pays to martial films, particularly those produced by the Shaw Brothers group. However, people must be informed that it's Gung Fu and not Karate that the films primarily exhibit. Also, Wu Tang (pronounced mo dong) and Shaolin are traditional schools/monasteries in China. Wu Tang takes its basis in Taoism, whereas Shaolin holds to Buddhist teachings. Martial arts in both sects were rooted in their respective philosophical teachings, as well as for defense.
🤷🏽♂️ we can’t expect everybody to be “informed” to the highest level on most anything. It’s like people thinking yoga is just a form of stretching/exercise. They don’t need to know all the forms of yoga beyond that, the origins etc., to get benefit from the one form they do know. A little bit of something is always better than a lot of nothing!
35 and still loyal. inspired my love for asian culture, right down to me being a ceramics artist. 36 Chambers changed me for life and still bring me chills now. Wu Tang forever from the Chi!
I’m part of the new generation and everything but my playlist is full of wu tang. In the wise words of method man, this new school ain’t really got the rules and lacks the principles. Wu tang is forever and I will always bump to wu tang
One of the best albums i ever bought. Coming from a poor estate in England i was listening to this on my walkman in class i was one badass white boy lol lol
The movement was real. The impact was strong. The music was legendary!! The 36 Chambers album was the ultimate blueprint of NYC street life of our time. I still have the T-shirt and hoodie from '93!!!

The hood imagery of the lyrics is utterly pervasive and uncompromising, immersing the listener in a foreign land smack in the middle of New York.
People who really really love the WU can't never say who they favorite...its one of my hardest decisions I ever tried to make and I still can't decide to this day...The struggle
Not a favorite but I can tell you the best opening verse of all time 🙌
Rza
Listen im been down with wu tang since day 1 im 41 yo now i can have a favorite and my favorite is Gza
I feel u on this. I was thinking about it with every sample, every one of em talking. But all day I miss the old dirty doggy, the old dirty Chinese restaurant, Osirus,
Ghostface killa
Yo I'm only 21 but discovered my first Wu-Tang song 5 years ago and have loved them ever since. My favorite thing about them was that they sounded like they literally were just chilling on a street corner when they recorded and spit their shit. It sounded and still sounds amazing.
The10Liam yesssss so true!!! 👐🏼
PEACE TO THE GODS.
HAPPY 25th ANNIVERSARY WU-TANG CLAN AND 36 CHAMBERS 👐

"I got the chill's when OD's son started rapping his dad's verse from chessboxing RIP...ODB
MAAAAAAD chills when young dirty starts rappin his pops vers.
grgur bozan dirtys son is a fucking lame, srry
Same thing happened to jesus.... people hated him for speaking the word of his father... odb was my favorite mc of all time and i have no problem with his son carrying his legacy.. stop hating.
Cringe
So happy to see YDB adopted by the clan. We, the fans needed this. It wouldn't be right not to. Peace to the Wu gods.
That background sound in C. R. E. A. M. ... you know that sound ... Enough said.
I have bought this,album more times then I can remember 5 times on cassette 3 times on CD and twice on vinyl.... I think
Jason Hobbs daam 🤣
@@marxman300 had to for that 36 chambers I think wu forever is 4 times
@@jasonhobbs1345 I hear that.i have 36 chambers on cd and vinyl.my vinyl version is quite low compared to the cd though.🤷🏾♂️
ODB was light years ahead of his time!! Mystery of chess boxing 🔥 🔥💪💪
It's like a pastime. I'm 38, and for people in my age bracket, this was like the good ol' days. Kinda like they said in Can it all be all so simple. It was truly a special time, and more than likely will never come back.
I feel like it will ...it will raise back from the death bed....
I'm 13 but I grew listening to this music and it's way better than the music today
B 2 Da Ry...The WU was born in a time of chaos. We're in a time of chaos, now. The WU will answer the call.
Young ODB looks and sounds exactly like his pops
That's was amazing
Agreed!
YDB
No he DOESN'T!!! Yo can't even do his own father's parts right and he goes way way overboard biting odb style
Im so glad to hear thats his son....he holding him down too. I salute
tears of joy to see odb son with them
its soo fitting.the clan is whole again
36 chamabers was the first HipHop album I ever picked up freshman in HS. 2009 changed my life forever. I was a strickly punk and metal dude. 36 chambers opend a new world for me and I will be forever grateful. WuForver&Ever.
THERES WU TANG and then everyone else. CLAN IN DA FRONT
true..
let ur feet stompp!!

Word up
There's the W, or you take an L.
There is so much love in the comments. This is the essence of the Wu.
My son loved the Wu!
When ODB's son did his mannerisms, I felt like I saw ODB for a second.
No way... he's corny as fuck
@@williamkelly777 lol.. he corny for being like his dad? im like my dad in more ways than I care to be..
@@williamkelly777 Stfu bitch
@@soramirez5473 he is corny, that was ODB's personallity but his son is just acting and its cringy as fuck. It sounds like people have pressured him into being the 2.0 of his father. But he was too unique to be copied.
@@benoneill4318 and how exactly do you know that? do you KNOW YDB? and if so can you READ HIS MIND?.. it's his son.. I CRINGE WHEN I DO SOMETHING THAT REMINDS ME OF MY DAD.. ridiculous..
the conviction in Ghostface's being when he said 'We had to come, the Clan had to come, This was already in God's hands' gave me chills not just because they said and believe it but because the world knows its true , much respect to the gods
It’s amazing how this only has 9,000 views so far. If this was a documentary about one of these cross dressing artists that are out now the shit would have a billion views First Day!!!
You'd be lying if you'd deny that had an impact on pop culture forever
I been a big Wu head since i was a kid. Wu-Tang is forever in my blood
Thank you for this. Now when's the movie coming out!? R.i.p. ODB
ralphieasilva Lets hope they dont ruin it
@@anthoniotafolla8293 original actors!
Word!! They gotta do the movie justice and make it at least 2 1/2 or 3 hours.
Growing up in the 90’s, the other punk asses in school would hate on me for rocking the Wu, while they all listened to Master P and Puff Daddy. Funny how time caught up to everyone.
Side note - I still feel more than blessed for catching the GZA on the Liquid Swords tour in 2012.
I need a 2 hour version of this
Henrique Cardoso Like Tribe got a documentary Wu needs one. Released in theaters so we can support it
@@twocents6951 They have one coming. Went to the release party for this video on Thursday, the director of this video said there is one coming.
GoHomeRoger l._.l I’m still waiting on that NYC show too
yootubesucks123 I meant of 36 chambers the album. Ob4cl & Liquid Swords also need documentaries
Henrique Cardoso cc f
I was the kid with every Wu-Tang album in High School. Born in 1980
I'm from the projects in Serbia and my whole generation grew up on wu. Miss those times and I don't miss those times.
Betcha that some of y'all didn't know that the shaolin monk in the intro was Sifu Shi Yan Ming. Real life Shaolin Disciple and Rza's martial arts instructor.
Appearing 45 seconds after they talk about how some karate movies influenced them... yikes
Everyone knows.
You know it's weird that monks, Asian didn't make wu-tang clan but the inspiration from there movies Wich they grew up on kung-fu like we all did, honestly if it weren't for shiolin kung-fu were would Wu be
Best rap album ever.. not an opinion. Facts
Solid scientifical fatcs
💯%
Ready to die better but yea one of the best
Super facts! 👐
true album classic dope album wu tang clan forever for kids
Y'all still some solid god's, SUPER SOLID!!!!.
That's my favorite part about the Clan......
"Wu-Tang is for the Kid's".....
GROWN HOOD SOUL MUSIC...
ODB was the GOAT rapper imo. Love him, R. I. P
ODB had an impossible style to copy
sm0k3d4tsh1t and YDB looks just like him
I like ODB Too, but he didn’t even write all of his raps
THIS WAS NOT IN DEPTH ENOUGH. NEEDED AT LEAST AN HOUR. DON'T EVER SHORT CHANGE THE CLAN AGAIN.
hahahahahahahahaahah " DON'T EVER SHORT CHANGE THE CLAN AGAIN.
"
best comment ever
For real
Protect your neck
AGREED. MY SHAOLIN XIOAI XiAO WILL DEMAND NOTHING LESS
Of mics and men made that right
The Wu Tang Clan will forever be the most iconic group in the hiphop rap game. My personal Favorite since i was alil kid
Looking at ODB son and his mannerisms is truly him all over again.
From the business aspect, no clan member should be broke.....ever😐
They never capitalized off their image like they could have
None of them are broke
@@HomebaseFILMS of course they did.
Ya got 2 UNDERSTAND that this shit is deeper than money people lose and gain money on a regular money shouldn't define who a person is really about they are trying 2 tell ya about the struggles that they been through good and bad that at the end of the day they still kept it family
The RZA did a few members dirty
It's heartwarming to hear his son recite his rhymes with so much heart.
Wu tang put Staten Island on the map
Nah, I think you're getting confused with Rand McNally bruh. Cuz they were one of the first to put Staten Island on the map.
I'm from Queens NYC. I was 13 when I copped 36 Chambers. They put Shaolin on the map, period.
Tribe of Judah 77 shaolin*
Joseph Blanchard The Wu’s brand is more superior than Rand McNally....
im from uptown nyc and you are right
I'm an OG not from NY. But from the Islands and when I tell you this group inspired people on every level I mean all aspects of life from teachers to pastors drug dealers you name it at some point in time it was the Clan that inspired or influenced a whole 3 Generations. Trust and believe probably the most influential musical group of all time. It can never be duplicated its timing was what it was like The Bob Marley and the Whalers. Richard Pryor. Once in a lifetime shit.
Wailers
Still remember my high school days, listening to protect ya neck was the song playing in my mind when I confronted a long time bully the first fight I ever got into messed up the dudes leg bad with a broken broom stick and his friends that was helping him didn't even want to jump in to help him when he was down on the floor, after that day got arrested for assault but won the case on self defense a year later. But the eyes on me in school I felt like a pariah no one ever talked to me all I heard was leave that kid alone. Even tho I felt alone it still better than being made fun of and beat up on a daily/weekly basis. Thank you WU TANG for existing.
My grandmother brought me the album the first day it came out back in 93
King Fresh crazy thing, my grandmother remembers Wutang from back in the day, because my uncle was playing it heavy back when it came out.
mental flux that’s crazy ill
Gotta love g-ma lol
willchebra right she put me on to them 👐
lol
This should have been 1hr and 17 mins long. I love wu tang
I’m 14 years old and cannot stop listening to wu tang clan I guess it really is for the children 👐
Wu Tang Clan Forever! 👐👐👐👐👐👐👐👐👐👐👐👐👐👐👐👐👐
These guys killed it for 20 years+ and have now passed on the torch 2 the younger godz like westside gunn & conway
Dont forget logic. Have you heard his song Wu tang forever
Conway grimy af
I fux with Griselda but they ain't about saving the babies. They are about destroying not building. No hate on them they just on some different shit from the Wu.
Fax my dude
kill-A-gram ummmmm 20years lmao, more like “killed it for about 10” there music went downhill more and more, facts... don’t fucking argue
I appreciate the homage that this rap group pays to martial films, particularly those produced by the Shaw Brothers group. However, people must be informed that it's Gung Fu and not Karate that the films primarily exhibit. Also, Wu Tang (pronounced mo dong) and Shaolin are traditional schools/monasteries in China. Wu Tang takes its basis in Taoism, whereas Shaolin holds to Buddhist teachings. Martial arts in both sects were rooted in their respective philosophical teachings, as well as for defense.
THANKS
🤷🏽♂️ we can’t expect everybody to be “informed” to the highest level on most anything. It’s like people thinking yoga is just a form of stretching/exercise. They don’t need to know all the forms of yoga beyond that, the origins etc., to get benefit from the one form they do know. A little bit of something is always better than a lot of nothing!
Young dirty did that neck roll just like pops stg...no one else can duplicate that
i´m from brasil i`m 29 years old i love wu tang clan 12/11/18
By far the greatest hip hop group ever to bless the mic. point, blank, period!!!!
35 and still loyal. inspired my love for asian culture, right down to me being a ceramics artist. 36 Chambers changed me for life and still bring me chills now. Wu Tang forever from the Chi!
I’m part of the new generation and everything but my playlist is full of wu tang. In the wise words of method man, this new school ain’t really got the rules and lacks the principles. Wu tang is forever and I will always bump to wu tang
Greatest hip hop group of all time. Inspirational, all of it, ALL OF IT !!! Wu Tang FOREVER.
One of the best albums i ever bought.
Coming from a poor estate in England i was listening to this on my walkman in class i was one badass white boy lol lol
Rip odb. Wu forever ,respect from morocco
s t itoub 3lik golya machi bohdi
wu tang clan forever for the chlidren dope good happy anniversary album and a trlbe called quest midnight marudauders
The movement was real. The impact was strong. The music was legendary!! The 36 Chambers album was the ultimate blueprint of NYC street life of our time. I still have the T-shirt and hoodie from '93!!!
