A de facto greatest hits collection moonlighting as a documentary soundtrack, Wu: The Story Of The Wu-Tang Clan amounts to a solid, career-spanning mix tape. And that's not a bad thing. The album effectively soundtracks a recent BET documentary on the Staten Island, N.Y. hip-hop collective and, in doing so, bobs and weaves throughout the band's...

GZA/Genius

in
By Andre Mihsin (CHARTattack) September 19, 2008 9:28 am
It's pretty obvious by now that the last Wu-Tang Clan album, 8 Diagrams, suffered creatively due to the internal conflict that existed within the group, and not because they fell off like some people might think. How else does a group fail as a collective when individually they continue to produce some of the best records in hip-hop? Look at...

Wu-Tang Clan

By Cheryl Thompson (CHARTattack) January 15, 2008 8:10 pm
Its been six years since Wu-Tang Clan's last album. There's no ODB this time, and along with him, less of that indelible machismo hype that put Wu-Tang on the map. Tracks like "Campfire," "Take It Back," and "Unpredictable" have a raucous sound synonymous with the RZA, GZA, Method Man, etc., but lyrically, they come...

Yeah, yeah, the original Wu-Tang Clan were all phenomenal rhymers and most of the extended Wu-Fam members and friends featured on Unreleased are unexceptional. Fine. But do me a favour: recite a great U-God verse. Still waiting. The fact is, the core Wu have always benefited from their Voltron formation. Conversely, the extended family have been...

Dreddy Kruger Presents Think Differently Music Compilation

in
By Alison Lang (CHARTattack) December 13, 2005 2:26 pm
At first glance, Think Differently Music's liner notes could send even the most casual hip-hop listener into throes of excitement. How could an album featuring the Wu Tang Clan AND hip-hop's best underground rappers not be inspired? That's before you notice the conspicuous absence of the best Wu members — where's Ghostface? — and the fact that the...

Wu-Tang Clan — Disciples Of The 36 Chambers: Chapter One

in
By Jason Richards (CHARTattack) October 26, 2004 3:37 pm
With U-God's recent beef with RZA, Ol' Dirty Bastard's court-imposed curfew and Method Man's long slide into B-list Hollywood territory, it would seem easier to get your high school hockey team together for a Will & Grace marathon than re-unite the Wu-Tang Clan. But there they are — all nine of 'em — on a live recording from their July '04 San...

Cappadonna — The Yin & The Yang

By Darrin Keene (CHARTattack) April 10, 2001 9:31 am
A Wu-Tang beat is like a Taco Bell Seven-Layer Burrito: a sloppy pleasure that keeps you lining up for more. It's a mystery why Cappadonna would want to mess with a good recipe, but he does just that on his sophomore solo disc, The Yin And The Yang. He comes out with lyrical guns blazing, representin' the Wu sound on "Super Model" with...

The Jimmy Swift Band have broken up. But don't cry! Vocalist Craig Mercer and keyboardist Aaron Collier are still making music as Scientists Of Sound and are touring in support of their new Wealth & Hellness album. M83's next album is going to be a double LP. It's going to be about dreams. Makes sense, since I fall asleep while listening to...

If you miss the days of hip-hop in the late '80s and early '90s, when Eric B. and Rakim were huge, groups like Wu-Tang were just getting popular and Kanye West was probably annoying the hell out of people in grade school, you'll probably dig the lineup for this year's Rock The Bells festival. Wu-Tang Clan, KRS-One, Rakim and Slick Rick are on...

Winnipeg is a "tough town." No, those aren't ironic quotes and J. D. Ormond isn't joking when he says that. The lanky white frontman for Ultra Mega happens to live in the Canada's "murder capital," according to the Winnipeg Free Press [Maclean's ranks the 'Peg #3]. Given the prairie town's surprisingly violent underbelly (...
