RIYL: RZA, GZA, ODB, Method Man

Label: Get On Down

Me and my friends in high school watched a lot of kung fu movies (Chris was a big Jackie Chan fan, I preferred Jet Li), and we listened to a lot of hip hop. It should be no surprise then that we listened to a lot of Wu Tang, and a LOT of 36 Chambers. When the opening movie sample hits I’m just filled with nostalgia and my head starts bobbin’.

I already own this album, but I’m a sucker for 7″ box sets. And if I own it then I’ll be able to put Wu Tang in my non existent jukebox someday, which is, frankly, enough for me.

This release is a pre-order and its release date is TBA, whenever that is. What’s your favorite Wu Tang album?

The Details

PROTECT YA NECK! This absolutely unique, deluxe edition of this classic album – which has been created in full collaboration with The RZA – is presented as a "Casebook" hardcover book, which houses the album’s 12 full songs that are divided into six 7-Inches. And beyond the 56-page liner notes, six additional pages have a Wu-Tang logo picture sleeve in which to put the vinyl. A bonus 7-Inch, "Protect Ya Neck / Tearz" is housed on the exterior of the outer leatherette slipcase, in its own picture sleeve. Besides the vinyl, the centerpiece of the Casebook is a 56-page Shaolinology book, featuring input by RZA, written by journalist Chris Faraone. Beyond many never-before-discussed Wu-Tang nuggets, the book also includes rare photos of the group, lyrics for all album songs, as well as other images and advertisements from the Enter The Wu-Tang era. If you are a Wu-Tang Clan fan – and what self-respecting hip-hop junkie isn’t? – this is a trophy that you will be proud to have on your shelf, to celebrate the influence of one of music's most influential groups.
