Wu Tang, particularly RZA changed the music business. I believe they were the first group that signed to a label and had in their group contract that the individual members would be able to sign with other labels for their solo projects. That was unheard of back in the day. They changed the landscape of contracts with record labels.

I'm 42, Moroccan-born, raised between Brussels and Paris suburbs, moved out at 21 and never settled more than a couple years somewhere. I hardly listen to Hip Hop nowadays but since 1993 Wu-Tang has always been by my side. I got to see them live twice, 1997 and 2015. Writing this comment while banging "Walking through the darkness" by Tekitha from the Ghost Dog OST. Wu-Tang Forever !
No question. It will never be that good again. It seems to be that when a new style of music emerges the peak of that style tends to be the 10-20 year period from the beginning and then it declines
it's good to recognize the legends, but don't let nostalgia stop you listening to new things. there's some amazing work people are putting out all the time, you just need to keep ya ear to the ground. from Kendrick to Pusha T to Tyler and JID, Little Simz, the whole Dreamville collective, Westside Gunn, Earl Sweatshirt - I could go on. don't lose hope on the younger gen
When I was little, my father was famous He was the greatest samurai in the empire And he was the Shogun's decapitator He cut off the heads of 131 lords It was a bad time for the empire The Shogun just stayed inside his castle and he never came out People said his brain was infected by devils My father would come home, he would forget about the killings He wasn't scared of the Shogun, but the Shogun was scared of him Maybe that was the problem Then, one night, the Shogun sent his ninja spies to our house They were supposed to kill my father but they didn't That was the night everything changed.
My daughter has my Spotify workout playlist and is now addicted to the Wu-tang clan and can't understand why her friends don't know who they are. I couldn't be more proud of her!
As a 90s white kid, Wu Tang was the group that introduced me and my friends to rap music. Dop Shit was my favorite song for so long. Just imagine a chubby pastey white kid singing OBD in class and the teacher sening him to detention of throwing up the W on his way out. Wu Tang, Wu Tang, Wu Tang!
Hear comes Rover sniffing around your grass, but pardon me bitch as I shit on your grass, that means ho you've been shitted on, I'm not the first dog that shitted on your lawn!! Hooooo yea heyeyyyy ooohhhh ahhhhh hooooooeeeeooooeeoooooo!!!!!
My first term in Salinas Valley Prison, I told the C.O.'s that I claimed Wu-Tang Clan as a joke Because I had a Wu-Tang Clan tattoo on my right arm, they classified me as an active gang member and I spent 2 years in the hole..
My first introduction to Wu was playing my dad's copy of Wu Tang: Taste the Pain on PS1. He used to hide the instruction manual from me so I couldn't turn on blood 😂
Wu tang set the standard for all future rap groups, the common trend with many groups is that when they evidently split, only one really becomes a true star out of the however many so members there were. Then you enter the wu tang clan where you could easily tell that all the members could easily be a successful solo artist, they were all and still are that good, if you haven’t watched wu tang American saga on Hulu I would absolutely recommend it.
I heard Enter the 36 chambers (first album) in 1997 and it changed my life. It was my first hip hop album and it blew me away. I was 10 years old and fell in love from the first sound )
I got big into Wu Tang in my teens, and I always liked the samples they used, but never really thought too much about them......until I was in my late teens/early 20's, when I started getting really into old, obscure Kung Fu movies and I'd suddenly hear a line in a film and think "Oh my God, that's Wu Tang! That's from the 36 Chambers album!! That's so cool!!!"
@@geeweezy90 yeah. I like his 2nd album a lot too but Tical had that raw Meth sound. He was still super hungry. Just rippin' tracks apart. His cadence, and delivery and the fact that he could go really dark but also funny all in the same few lines kind of set him apart from the others a little bit. I like all of them for different reasons but his style was easily the most marketable. And when he hooked up with Red it was over. That's when you see some of the best things happen in hip hop. Two dudes with the perfect harmonious energy. Meth is definitely in my top 5 probably. Dude is clever.
I was 13yrs old when I first heard C.R.E.A.M. and fell in love with Wu Tang and hip hop music instantly... before that rap music was just goofy and fun to me... Wu Tang was a game changer 👐🏽 we should have a Wu Tang emoji
I used to hear rap and think wow this is cool. Being from the west coast 2pac dre snoop and cube gave hip-hop this crazy fun flavor. Then my cousin showed me Wu Tang, r.i.p Steve love you, when I heard Wu Tang and da mystery of chess boxing I was blown away. Specifically when deck said rap styles vary and Carey like Mariah. It was this double meaning punchline that showed me how intelligent rap can be. It wasn't like just rymes. It was rymes that made you think 🤔. Been the biggest fan ever since.
Yeah man, I remember having that same feeling when I heard Da Mystery of Chessboxin' for the first time in '95 when I was 11 and I was absolutely floored.

No one will understand that 36 Chambers was/is groundbreaking! No one will understand when that album dropped it was like nothing out here. Totally changed HipHop. I can still remember when I bought the tape and me and the homie just sat in the car and listened to the whole album.!
I've always been that ruff n rugged kid. Grew up a fukkin screw up. but wu-tang changed me. I was going to class More, learning the rythems in class More, n now I'm working on my own music... THANK YOU VEU-TANG. ... For what it's worth... Your music always takes me back to a time ... good... Bad... But we grow... N I got that from y'all. Thank you for your contribution I wish all of you the best
I just started getting into hip hop and rap music. I’m 16 and I listen to 60s-90s rock and metal music primarily. I definitely prefer 80s and 90s hip hop to anything today (East Coast is the best)
Grew up during the start of the WU in NY, and even upstate where I lived it was apparent something changed and then it just hit the world like a tidal wave
Rip Old Dirty Bastard 🥀 Joe Rogan a Real 1 4 this Video Wu tang clan proably the most iconic rap group 2 ever grace the game! Hip hop was more authentic back then it was real raw an grimmey now everything is just 2 set up every rapper on some milly vanilly ish faking it till they make it! Everyone copies w.e is hot vs back then wu tang was setting trends sounding different from Everyone else that's what hip hop is missing that geuine raw real grimey authentic sound
“Nature has given us all the pieces required to achieve exceptional wellness and health, but has left it to us to put these pieces together.”-Diane McLaren
10 years ago i was tattooing some young 20 years old girls with a wu tang t-shirt, so i told her “ so you gals are fan of wu tang.? I growed up on that and love them “. They both looked at me and said they didn’t knew they were a rap group and never heard their music, she just liked the t-shirt when she saw it at the store ... so i told them “ you definitely have heard some method man song right.!?!! “. I was shocked and felt down my chair when she answered “ method man the actor.? From how high.? He raps.?? “. Haha damn ...
I remember the day my bud in high school in during late 90’s introduced Wu Tang to me:”you gotta listen to this, it sounds like they recorded it out of their garage!”
I can still remember what the air smelled like the first time I played 36 Chambers for my crew… We were playing ball at our park and immediately my friend and I recognized the sample- ‘Shaolin Shadowboxing, and the Wu-Tang Sword style’… like they immediately changed hip hop completely when they dropped.
being a producer myself people think sampling is easy.. and I can see why the outside world thinks that .. but trust me it is not .. you gotta manipulate the track to fit a whole new vibe..not to mention all the great songs you find out was already used.. the key and bpm.. adding your own instruments ..it can be extremely complex and time consuming
Now days 5 year old's can code so what you're saying, is that you can't perform the simple task of linking and manipulating time codes, stamps, along with counting bars and measures? Oh yeah you're a musical genius alright. I record basic scratch rhythm tracks that include drums, bass, percussion, keyboards (piano and or synth and or vintage electric Vox keyboards) and guitar, then I'll score out and add wah wah'd trumpet via a Boss GR-55 Guitar Synth along with some soprano saxophone parts via the same device, then add whatever guitar parts I come up with or sometimes score out a few parts to harmonize with the trumpet. Oh and sometimes via the Boss GR-55 I'll also include a wah wah'd violin too for a sort of old school Mahavishnu Orchestra vibe, to go along with the "electric" Miles vibe I already have going. At those points the only digital device is my Boss GR-55 Guitar Synth, I record everything to tape via a vintage TEAC Model 5 16 track set up with the main 8 channel live/multi-track board hooked up to it's slave 8 channel sub group board, using a full compliment of old school vintage rack gear for limiting, compression, mic pre amps, gating, etc. I have my room tuned via the tuning system that came with my Klipsch Reference R-15PM studio monitors. When I've finished a track I can then transfer it to my TASCAM DP-24SD Portastudio 24-Track Digital Recorder where I can master it and mix it down to two track stereo.
Game changers. Even the Metal heads and the Hillbillies listened to Wu Tang. Aside from Run DMC, no other Rap band crossed over like this at that time.
Westside connection was huge for a while too! All my boys were switching to Westside connection, and Diddy and ma$e, claiming Wu Tang, Mobb deep, big L, gangstarr, Nas, and all that good east coast shit was "too grimey", and I had to tell them that there's no such thing as too grimey.. ice cube in that era was so polished it was cringey af compared to the predator, amerikkkas nightmare, lethal injection and death certificate.. that's prime ice cube. They prophesized the riots in LA, talked about what was happening day to day and were so angry they're practically death metal for black people.. everything after that is just lame cash flex raps from the guy in "are we there yet".. he went full on will smith "gettin jiggy wit it", and it made my heart hurt.. RZA and method man managed to do movies and not be a complete joke when they made albums, how did ice cube of all people fall off so hard?? 🧊👎. Wu Tang 🛐♾️🤜🤛✊✌️
5th grade, Richie and Thomas. They'd go up to a kid on the playground saying, "Wu Tang Clan ain't nothing to fuck with" and "beat" up the poor kid they said it to. Idk why but it stuck with me.
Gravel Pit is an underrated song by the W. It's a rare uptempo song by Wu Tang that had a hint of commercial. Here is why the Flintstone Chamber is a gem : 1. Ghostface and Golden Arms on this track are exceptional. I cannot recall any other song where Ghostface spit this fast. It almost sounded like it was one of his original pre-Wu styles that he resurrected for this track. If NEVER heard him rap like this before or after Gravel Pit. That alone makes this song special. You really need to listen to his verse in isolation to appreciate. 2. Golden Arms is in rare form on this track. Why weren't there MORE uptempo beats made to accommodate U-God ? If you truly listen to the quality of his delivery, it sounds like this is his native rapping style. Given that U-God is a beatboxer, this makes a lot of sense and he should have been highlighted on albums with beats with higher bpm and that distinctive rapid high hat rap type of beat. At least we have this song as evidence that Baby U had his own distinctive style and potential that was overshadowed by more popular members and beats incompatable with his style and voice.
@@cilvaxd951 I agree ! And he is definitely a dude you put on a simple chorus. Like Click Click(Careful)...."Something in the slum went rump-a-pum-pum".
Wu Tang helped mold my mentality. RZA and GZA were the two heads of the group and damn are they both insanely cool people to listen to. Tao of Wu was a great book imo to read and get in the mind of RZA who constructed the nasty beats the group would be rapping over. They’re intention back before 36 Chambers was out is to attack with every song they had in constant rapping. So much cool philosophy they implement into their lyrics too.
@Richard Roe not to get to personal. I read that book when I was 16 and it influenced me a ton in my mindset. I held that so deep and always physically with me in school like if it was my Bible lmao. Anyways, to get to my point I’m feeling a bit disconnected at 22 now or maybe just trying to find my way to blossom so maybe it’s a sign for me to go back and read it again. I’ll perhaps catch a lot more than I could since I’m now a bit more grown. WU TANG FOREVER
what👐 u tang did in terms of being a music group is pretty unparalleled. To go platinum as a group, have all members sign solo deals, make their own albums that go gold/silver, then come back as a group and go platinum again. And to repeat this cycle is a amazing feet that I can't think of any other music group doing.
4:30 when they talk about sampling, it's like that song you sampled tells a story and that story Is playing in the story your tryin to make, like an appreciation yes, a nod to them while telling your story.
Pain is temporary, Wu-Tang is forever.

When I was little, my father was famous
He was the greatest samurai in the empire
And he was the Shogun's decapitator
He cut off the heads of 131 lords
It was a bad time for the empire
The Shogun just stayed inside his castle and he never came out
People said his brain was infected by devils
My father would come home, he would forget about the killings
He wasn't scared of the Shogun, but the Shogun was scared of him
Maybe that was the problem
Then, one night, the Shogun sent his ninja spies to our house
They were supposed to kill my father but they didn't
That was the night everything changed.

No one will understand when that album dropped it was like nothing out here. Totally changed HipHop. I can still remember when I bought the tape and me and the homie just sat in the car and listened to the whole album.!
I've always been that ruff n rugged kid. Grew up a fukkin screw up. but wu-tang changed me. I was going to class More, learning the rythems in class More, n now I'm working on my own music... THANK YOU VEU-TANG. ... For what it's worth... Your music always takes me back to a time ... good... Bad... But we grow... N I got that from y'all. Thank you for your contribution I wish all of you the best
It all started for Joe when heard the lyric, "and the chicken taste like wood."
I just started getting into hip hop and rap music. I’m 16 and I listen to 60s-90s rock and metal music primarily. I definitely prefer 80s and 90s hip hop to anything today (East Coast is the best)
Grew up during the start of the WU in NY, and even upstate where I lived it was apparent something changed and then it just hit the world like a tidal wave
That kinda sounds like going to their live show. I can only describe it as a force of nature.
Ironically, this was uploaded as I was listening to wu tang clan
Wu tang forever. When I see these lil kids with Wu wear I nod, yes theres still hope for the future
They're just wearing what's popular, like Nirvana, nobody listens to it
"How can hip-hop be dead when Wu-Tang is forever"
Wu Tang and MF DOOM are my go tos for gym music
I was looking for the MF DOOM comment. Greatest of all time.

MF DOOM for gym music???
"it's yours"
"Gravel pit"
"Da mystery of chess boxing"
"Bring the ruckus"
"Triumph"
"Shame on nigga"
@@leevikv rhymes like dimes was one of my favorite songs for a morning run.
Wu-Tang was who made me fall In love with hip hop when I heard triumph in 97. Made my mum buy me the forever album, I was 11.
Born in 98 but Wu-Tang Forever!!!
That Wu Tang scene was so dope like that’s literally what I experience when I sample
Joe the goat 🐐
I love how joe says he listens to wu tang to get him hyped up for one of his comedy shows but he always bombs 😂
Rip Old Dirty Bastard 🥀
Joe Rogan a Real 1 4 this Video

10 years ago i was tattooing some young 20 years old girls with a wu tang t-shirt, so i told her “ so you gals are fan of wu tang.? I growed up on that and love them “. They both looked at me and said they didn’t knew they were a rap group and never heard their music, she just liked the t-shirt when she saw it at the store ... so i told them “ you definitely have heard some method man song right.!?!! “. I was shocked and felt down my chair when she answered “ method man the actor.? From how high.? He raps.?? “. Haha damn ...
Goddamn man, just fucked me up suddenly remembering 2012 was already 10 years ago now
😂 ah kids.
To this day I'm still banging Protect Ya Neck. At least once a week I pump up the volume and play it.
W is forever
wutang clan is for the children!!! 🙌

First 2 Wu Tang albums are classics. Every members 1st solo albums are classics.
ODB fo' life, son!
I remember the day my bud in high school in during late 90’s introduced Wu Tang to me:”you gotta listen to this, it sounds like they recorded it out of their garage!”
Is there really a debate at this point with rap being better in the 90’s than current day rap? 💁♂️
In 3rd grade I learned every word of “Protect ya neck” never looked back since
Bro on of my favorite song the way they did that song was amazing
I knew the exact scene he was talking about great storytelling
Wu-Tang is the pinnacle of Hip-Hop for me, between the beats and the lyrics, it's a perfect blend.
@Brady Christian what are you on about?
Wutang brought me closer to Buddhism.🙂
😂
I can still remember what the air smelled like the first time I played 36 Chambers for my crew… We were playing ball at our park and immediately my friend and I recognized the sample- ‘Shaolin Shadowboxing, and the Wu-Tang Sword style’… like they immediately changed hip hop completely when they dropped.
being a producer myself people think sampling is easy.. and I can see why the outside world thinks that .. but trust me it is not .. you gotta manipulate the track to fit a whole new vibe..not to mention all the great songs you find out was already used.. the key and bpm.. adding your own instruments ..it can be extremely complex and time consuming
Come on man, sampling is for real music man - outsiders won’t understand the high art form that is sampling
Stop it man right now is not the time
And then theres Madlib, Producing Masterpiece albums on an ipad.
Now days 5 year old's can code so what you're saying, is that you can't perform the simple task of linking and manipulating time codes, stamps, along with counting bars and measures? Oh yeah you're a musical genius alright.
I record basic scratch rhythm tracks that include drums, bass, percussion, keyboards (piano and or synth and or vintage electric Vox keyboards) and guitar, then I'll score out and add wah wah'd trumpet via a Boss GR-55 Guitar Synth along with some soprano saxophone parts via the same device, then add whatever guitar parts I come up with or sometimes score out a few parts to harmonize with the trumpet. Oh and sometimes via the Boss GR-55 I'll also include a wah wah'd violin too for a sort of old school Mahavishnu Orchestra vibe, to go along with the "electric" Miles vibe I already have going.
At those points the only digital device is my Boss GR-55 Guitar Synth, I record everything to tape via a vintage TEAC Model 5 16 track set up with the main 8 channel live/multi-track board hooked up to it's slave 8 channel sub group board, using a full compliment of old school vintage rack gear for limiting, compression, mic pre amps, gating, etc.
I have my room tuned via the tuning system that came with my Klipsch Reference R-15PM studio monitors.
When I've finished a track I can then transfer it to my TASCAM DP-24SD Portastudio 24-Track Digital Recorder where I can master it and mix it down to two track stereo.
@@blinddogfranklin8177 cool story bro
Joes been on his MMA grind. You love to see it
The Asians first round draft pick
I went from rock and as soon as rap hit the radio I was hooked. Complete change right over lmao
Makes two of us 👍
Game changers.
Even the Metal heads and the Hillbillies listened to Wu Tang.
Aside from Run DMC, no other Rap band crossed over like this at that time.

Westside connection was huge for a while too! All my boys were switching to Westside connection, and Diddy and ma$e, claiming Wu Tang, Mobb deep, big L, gangstarr, Nas, and all that good east coast shit was "too grimey", and I had to tell them that there's no such thing as too grimey.. ice cube in that era was so polished it was cringey af compared to the predator, amerikkkas nightmare, lethal injection and death certificate.. that's prime ice cube. They prophesized the riots in LA, talked about what was happening day to day and were so angry they're practically death metal for black people.. everything after that is just lame cash flex raps from the guy in "are we there yet".. he went full on will smith "gettin jiggy wit it", and it made my heart hurt.. RZA and method man managed to do movies and not be a complete joke when they made albums, how did ice cube of all people fall off so hard?? 🧊👎. Wu Tang 🛐♾️🤜🤛✊✌️
Wu Tang been my favourite group since 1992
5th grade, Richie and Thomas. They'd go up to a kid on the playground saying, "Wu Tang Clan ain't nothing to fuck with" and "beat" up the poor kid they said it to. Idk why but it stuck with me.

sing it back to them while you beat they ass and take their lunch money
Since it came out, Triumph is my top one song, pure energy.
Wu-Tang Forever! Side note, it’s neat that they have rappers playing Wu Tang members on the show.
Monsta Island Czars!
Gza’s Liquid Sword was just so crazy...
My favorite groups are Wu-Tang, Outkast, and The Fugees
Good choice, Shane have listened to the fugees first album?
I need to call WuTang Financial to figure out my next investment moves.
Gravel Pit is an underrated song by the W. It's a rare uptempo song by Wu Tang that had a hint of commercial. Here is why the Flintstone Chamber is a gem :
1. Ghostface and Golden Arms on this track are exceptional. I cannot recall any other song where Ghostface spit this fast. It almost sounded like it was one of his original pre-Wu styles that he resurrected for this track. If NEVER heard him rap like this before or after Gravel Pit. That alone makes this song special. You really need to listen to his verse in isolation to appreciate.
2. Golden Arms is in rare form on this track. Why weren't there MORE uptempo beats made to accommodate U-God ? If you truly listen to the quality of his delivery, it sounds like this is his native rapping style. Given that U-God is a beatboxer, this makes a lot of sense and he should have been highlighted on albums with beats with higher bpm and that distinctive rapid high hat rap type of beat. At least we have this song as evidence that Baby U had his own distinctive style and potential that was overshadowed by more popular members and beats incompatable with his style and voice.
U-GOD is underated af he got some fire verses black jesus, element of suprise, intellectuals, winter warz the list goes on n on
@@cilvaxd951 I agree ! And he is definitely a dude you put on a simple chorus. Like Click Click(Careful)...."Something in the slum went rump-a-pum-pum".
Dave Chapelle knows the Wu-Tang power.
Wu Tang helped mold my mentality. RZA and GZA were the two heads of the group and damn are they both insanely cool people to listen to. Tao of Wu was a great book imo to read and get in the mind of RZA who constructed the nasty beats the group would be rapping over. They’re intention back before 36 Chambers was out is to attack with every song they had in constant rapping. So much cool philosophy they implement into their lyrics too.
@Richard Roe not to get to personal. I read that book when I was 16 and it influenced me a ton in my mindset. I held that so deep and always physically with me in school like if it was my Bible lmao. Anyways, to get to my point I’m feeling a bit disconnected at 22 now or maybe just trying to find my way to blossom so maybe it’s a sign for me to go back and read it again. I’ll perhaps catch a lot more than I could since I’m now a bit more grown.
WU TANG FOREVER
Wu Tang Wu Tang Wu Tang FOREVER.....PS that Wu Tang Series on Hulu was EPIC
what👐 u tang did in terms of being a music group is pretty unparalleled. To go platinum as a group, have all members sign solo deals, make their own albums that go gold/silver, then come back as a group and go platinum again. And to repeat this cycle is a amazing feet that I can't think of any other music group doing.
Interesting timing on this video. Wu-tang just got released in Fortnite like a week ago LOL

4:30 when they talk about sampling, it's like that song you sampled tells a story and that story Is playing in the story your tryin to make, like an appreciation yes, a nod to them while telling your story.
