Wu-tang were so ahead of their time with their Wu-Tang Forever album

[Bugzbunny129]

Its still bewilders me how wu revolution and second coming get called filler. Those 2 , + black shampoo brung CHARACTER. Its bot sposed to be non stop rapping all the way thru.

Papa wu / northstar is one of the greatest wu songs ever. Wu revolution is just that. A 5% intro to a 5% album. It needs to be there. Second coming as well. Its why madvillain has the same type of ending.

Wutabg forever is lyrically, the greatest achievement in hip hop and sonically, the first album without sampling every song which would set the late 90s / early 2000s trend that lasts til today.

Its not a perfect album and gets a lil long in the tooth with plodding beats of the second album. But even the worst songs are good. Ifs a scienve experiment freal and pulled it off.

Also. As a kid and a new wu fan. I loved it.

It's a good album as it is but it is definitely a certified classic if you condense it to one disc. I use this specific sequence and it more or less blends perfectly:

1. Intro
2. Reunited
3. Triumph
4. For Heavens Sake
5. Cash Still Rules
6. Duck Seazon
7. Deadly Melody
8. Hellz Wind Staff
9. Visionz
10. As High As Wu-Tang Get
11. Severe Punishment
12. Bells Of War
13. Older Gods
14. Maria
15. Impossible
16. A Better Tomorrow
17. It's Yourz

No heaterz?
