Wu-Tang Clan realesed the independent single Protect Ya Neck in 1993, which immediately gave the group a sizeable underground popularity. The name Wu-Tang Clan came from the Kung fu film Shaolin And Wu Tang, which features a school of warriors trained in Wu-Tang style. RZA promised the members that if he had total control of the Wu-Tang Clan, it would conquer the hip-hop world, after which he would relinquish his total control. The group was formed by RZA, GZA and Ol' Dirty Bastard, who acted in group Force of the Imperial Master before. Wu-Tang Clan appeared in 1991, when only single rapers were successfull. They are also known for becoming a standard for many rap artists, such as Nas, Mobb Deep, Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z. They became famous through their uncompromising brand of hardcore rap music. This legendary New York-based band is known as one of the most critically and commercially successful rap groups of all time. It will be their legacy", - said Kanye West once.

Some hailed Wu-Tang Forever as the best double-disc hip-hop album yet released, but others regarded it as a disappointment despite its many high points, it's the first time the Wu didn't quite fulfill their ambitions. Wu-Tang Forever easily would have made a brilliant single CD RZA's production is more polished than the debut, thanks to a bigger budget and better equipment, and leans heavily on soundtrack-style strings to underscore the album's cinematic scope. The second disc is far too long, diluting the impact of its better songs (the terrific single "Triumph") with an excess of lackluster material. Once you get past the rambling Five Percenter introduction, the first disc is pretty tight, partly because it was kept short to leave room for enhanced CD content. In other words, the group is starting to go off in more individual directions here, making it harder to maintain an overall focus. On the other hand, you also get some of the group's most explicit sex raps yet ("Maria," "The Projects," the utterly bizarre ODB solo track "Dog Shit"). On the one hand, there's more social consciousness on Wu-Tang Forever, taking hard looks at ghetto life while finding pathos and offering encouragement and uplift ("A Better Tomorrow," "Impossible"). While the result, Wu-Tang Forever, is frequently brilliant, it's also sprawling and unfocused, losing its handle on the carefully controlled chaos of Enter the Wu-Tang. So why not give it a shot? With a main crew of nine MCs (plus new protégé Cappadonna), the Wu wouldn't have to depend heavily on guest appearances to flesh out two whole discs of material, as Biggie and 2Pac had. Buy the album Starting at £14.49īy the time the Wu-Tang Clan finished their first round of solo projects and reconvened for their second album as a group, the double-disc album had become the hip-hop fad of the moment.
