Pros: Mostly strong voices, killer production job. The kung fu angle. Obviously ahead of their time.
Cons: ODB gives me the creeps. When the music goes down, so does the whole program.
Bottom Line:

Pros: RZA's minimal, but effective production. The raw rhyming skillz from everyone.
Cons: Gets you pissed at the New York rappers today who have long stopped bringing it.
Bottom Line:
This is one of those albums that makes it onto every top 10 hip-hop albums of all time list. Enter the Wu-Tang is, and should be, universally cherished. Read More
