Wu Tang Forever is 20 years old

[smokeurobinson]

That is 100% inaccurate. The flood happened during the making of Tical.
The flood had no impact on OBFCL or LS.
He started experimenting with instruments in 96. The shift occured organically. The Wu sound on Ironman was already a bit different (Wildflower/Fastablade/Assassination Day/Winter Warz/Black Jesus/After The Smoke Is Clear/Marvel/Soul Controler).
So nah.

you dont remember that 2nd flood?


why u think there was such a big gap between liquid swords and ironman after having back to back albums in 95?


Allah Mathematics reminds him that RZA’s studio flooded twice. Based on group member accounts, it appears the first flood happened before the release of Tical and the second flood happened right around the release of Cuban Linx.



After the release of Ironman, the Clan formed like Voltron once again for the double-disc album Wu-Tang Forever, but through a combination of big egos and the residual effects of the flood, the single-minded focus and gritty sonic aesthetic that they’d employed to such great effect over the previous four years evaporated soon thereafter.

In the mid-’90s, The Wu-Tang Clan dispersed to achieve immortality

 

[dem bath salts]

I remember The Source had a huge layout, with a wu member on every page. I had those shyts plastered on my room walls for years.

 

[classicmaterial]

Still one of my favorite albums all time

That Heaterz beat

I'm not familiar with that story.
If it's true I stand corrected.
Salute.

[u mad son?]

RZAs first verse on Impossible is one of the GOAT verses in hip hop imo

He spazzed out on Duck Seazon too. There are so many one liners in this album

The intro to the 2nd disk still sends shivers down my spine nh

 

[u mad son?]

I feel like this is one of life's best experiences.

It doesn't even have to be the first time I've heard some old shyt with high ears and heard shyt I didn't hear before like

I did this with Liquid Swordz and it blew my mind to pieces

 

[thelonious21]

I didn't even need to go to summer school that year

classic

When triumph was released

Gotta be the only #1 song with no hook.
