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.
My wife of 7 yrs doesn't really understand what my connection to Wu Tang Clan is UNTIL I took her and her son to Parkhill aka KillaHill about 6 yrs ago and she got it....saw my humble beginnings and understood. Wu Tang Clan FOREVER!!!!!
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
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
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
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...
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!!
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.

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!

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
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.
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.
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

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.
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.
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!
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.
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 👐👐🏻👐🏼👐🏽👐🏾👐🏿
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.
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,
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.
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!!!
Unquestionably best group ever. Not to mention all of the affiliates they’ve blessed us with. The total body of work that continues to drop. Infinite and timeless music. May not be old enough for Woodstock but at least we have WuTang. Gotta ad this... I had a dude in his mid twenty’s say to me he really didn’t like Wu. I looked at him and said quietly ya everything ain’t for everybody. But I’m my mind in thinkin this dude hasn’t even scratched the surface of what is offered under the Wu flag. So instead of argue or per sway I left him be. A tragedy he’ll miss all of those jewels 💎
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!
When the Wu came out i was about 5 or 6 but I remember my mother rockin to them heavy so as I got older I want back and listen 36 Chambers is definitely a classic and may the Wu-Tang Clan live forever
I'm a 45 year old white dude whose favorite band is the Grateful Dead, but gawd damn the Wu Tang Clan is the mother effing truth. Inspectah Deck's opening verse on Triumph is a masterpiece. Wu Tang Clan brought a realness that is sorely missing from 99% of new music today.
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.
There is no bigger brand in hiphop that survived from cassette, vinyl, CD, DVD, Blue Ray, all the way to the digital age! WU TANG FOREVER. Peace from South Africa
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
Before I watch this I would like to give a big should out to the Wu-Tang Clan. Thanks for all the great music and excellent work you guys do. Peace. 😃🤔
I was a 20 year old, white dude serving in the British Army, in the Bosnian war. I would blast this out, and people would say “what the fuck is that shit” and “36 what” 2 months in, they would be singing “cash rules everything around me” and “Wu Tang Clan ain’t nothing to fuck with” I’m still blasting them out now!! My son’s, like WTF(without swearing, he’s 15) He’ll learn one day🇬🇧👊🏼
Thanks for the creating and the sharing.... Wu-tang first hit my ears about 20 years ago.. Bought WU-TANG Forever 2cd album when i was 9 or 10..and i still have it.... Personally i feel its there best compliation of compositional productions to date... A better Tomorrow, Reunited, Triumph, Impossible, Little Ghetto boys, MGM, Hells Wind Staff, Heartz. Wicked tunes, with wise and insightful lyrics... HIP-HOP All the best, Mouse
My little post-war town in Croatia is full of Wu graffitis. As a kid, I always wondered what they meant and when I finally started to listen to the Wu-Tang, I realized their power and the legacy they left for the entire world, even that little town in the eastern Croatia. Peace

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.
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.
PEACE TO THE GODS.
HAPPY 25th ANNIVERSARY WU-TANG CLAN AND 36 CHAMBERS 👐
🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
Peace 👐
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
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.
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.✌

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 👐👐🏻👐🏼👐🏽👐🏾👐🏿
Wu Tang Clan Forever! 👐👐👐👐👐👐👐👐👐👐👐👐👐👐👐👐👐
It's not the same without odb obviously but its still way better than everything new today.
I miss ODB :/
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.
@@theobell2002 Most hip-hop nowadays have little to no soul in their beats because they sound the same and unoriginal.
tears of joy to see odb son with them
its soo fitting.the clan is whole again
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.
By far the greatest hip hop group ever to bless the mic. point, blank, period!!!!
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
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
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.
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
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.🤷🏾♂️
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.
I been a big Wu head since i was a kid. Wu-Tang is forever in my blood
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
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...
YDB has to be casted as his father in the Wu biopic series!
lexdimond1 like ice cube son
cause Wu-tang is about family.
we need to find the five guys who disliked and let us try our wu tang style
update: 68 guys
It's 42 now
You right
Lay their nuts on the dresser, just the nuts, and bang them shits with a hammer.
FreshSince71 Ight, but that’s kinda nuts 🥜
@@Bryan-ks6cw - it counts 55 now. That's really nuts! 💥
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!!!
I was the kid with every Wu-Tang album in High School. Born in 1980
ODB was light years ahead of his time!! Mystery of chess boxing 🔥 🔥💪💪
Unquestionably best group ever. Not to mention all of the affiliates they’ve blessed us with. The total body of work that continues to drop. Infinite and timeless music. May not be old enough for Woodstock but at least we have WuTang. Gotta ad this... I had a dude in his mid twenty’s say to me he really didn’t like Wu. I looked at him and said quietly ya everything ain’t for everybody. But I’m my mind in thinkin this dude hasn’t even scratched the surface of what is offered under the Wu flag. So instead of argue or per sway I left him be. A tragedy he’ll miss all of those jewels 💎
THERES WU TANG and then everyone else. CLAN IN DA FRONT
true..
let ur feet stompp!!
word
WordTF💯✔🐇
Word up
There's the W, or you take an L.
I dont give a damn....Right now, the current date is 11/09/93....
Imagine the feeling of being able to go out and buy 36 Chambers and Tribe Called Quest's Midnight Marauders at the same time
Facts bro
eeee fucking maginne brotherz suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Esean 1 lmaoooooo say word!!!!!!
Esean 1 😂
It's heartwarming to hear his son recite his rhymes with so much heart.
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!
When the Wu came out i was about 5 or 6 but I remember my mother rockin to them heavy so as I got older I want back and listen 36 Chambers is definitely a classic and may the Wu-Tang Clan live forever
shoutout moms for having great music taste 👐
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.
This should have been 1hr and 17 mins long. I love wu tang
I'm a 45 year old white dude whose favorite band is the Grateful Dead, but gawd damn the Wu Tang Clan is the mother effing truth. Inspectah Deck's opening verse on Triumph is a masterpiece. Wu Tang Clan brought a realness that is sorely missing from 99% of new music today.
This should been way longer than 17min....living legends....peace to tha whole clan
Yootubesucks123 I saw that 1 already...I keep up on wu shit
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
There is no bigger brand in hiphop that survived from cassette, vinyl, CD, DVD, Blue Ray, all the way to the digital age! WU TANG FOREVER. Peace from South Africa
Peace 👐
Haha. Ditto.
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
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.
At 44 years old I still love WU as much as I did when I was like 14 rockin the 36 chambers.
The best rap group to ever do it!
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
i´m from brasil i`m 29 years old i love wu tang clan 12/11/18
That background sound in C. R. E. A. M. ... you know that sound ... Enough said.
Thank you Wu Tang clan for ALL the music you all put out. From the bottom of my heart I am truly thankful much respect. r.i.p o.d.b👐👐👐
Before I watch this I would like to give a big should out to the Wu-Tang Clan. Thanks for all the great music and excellent work you guys do. Peace. 😃🤔
That was Dope...
Awesome. 😉🔥🤗
Peace fam 👐
I was a 20 year old, white dude serving in the British Army, in the Bosnian war.
I would blast this out, and people would say “what the fuck is that shit” and “36 what”
2 months in, they would be singing “cash rules everything around me” and “Wu Tang Clan ain’t nothing to fuck with”
I’m still blasting them out now!!
My son’s, like WTF(without swearing, he’s 15)
He’ll learn one day🇬🇧👊🏼
Just made my weekend ! Thank you Wu Tang for your continued contribution to music, art and just everyday life!
Thanks for the creating and the sharing.... Wu-tang first hit my ears about 20 years ago.. Bought WU-TANG Forever 2cd album when i was 9 or 10..and i still have it.... Personally i feel its there best compliation of compositional productions to date... A better Tomorrow, Reunited, Triumph, Impossible, Little Ghetto boys, MGM, Hells Wind Staff, Heartz.
Wicked tunes, with wise and insightful lyrics...
HIP-HOP
All the best,
Mouse
My little post-war town in Croatia is full of Wu graffitis. As a kid, I always wondered what they meant and when I finally started to listen to the Wu-Tang, I realized their power and the legacy they left for the entire world, even that little town in the eastern Croatia.
Peace
Peace and thank you.
I agree bro. I’m originally from Croatia and emigrated because of the war. This kind of hip hop really speaks to me as well.
