CRITIC REVIEWS
100
36 Chambers, an insular and weird album by design, arrived not a moment too soon in a decade where insular and weird music found unexpected traction in the mainstream.

Subsequent group and solo projects would refine and deepen this template, but collectively, the Wu have never been quite this tight again.

Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) has become such a standard — not only in hip-hop but in music, period — that imagining a world without it is nigh impossible.
100
With its rumble jumble of drumbeats, peppered with occasional piano plunking, Enter has a raw, pass-the-mike flavor we haven’t heard since rap was pop’s best-kept secret.

Some of the most amazing and influential and groundbreaking hip-hop songs of all time.

This is hip-hop you won't find creeping up the Billboard charts but you will hear booming out of Jeep stereos in all the right neighborhoods.
I once met Wu-Tang back in 1998, and they asked to do some chores for me. They mowed my lawn, Vacuumed, babysat my son, and fed my dog. Not only that, they PAYED ME to let them do it. Such nice young men. always helping out their neighbors. The only issue is that they took my wife away, but what would I need her for? Food? I know how to cook, damnit!
There is no other album that debuts talent quite as intensely as this does. After hearing this, as soon as I heard a feature from any of the classic Wu Tang members on any modern day track, I would lose my shit.
One of the best hip hop albums of all time
I like but found myself losing interest, maybe I just don't understand it's importance fully
If it wasn’t an hour it would prob be like 90. Just seems to drag on with all the skits
