I should not have to write a review for this album For this album compares to the Beetles White album or Mozart. what fans (and Non Fans) of the Wu-tang Clan do not really realize is this album was a necessity for the east coast during this time. a lot of artist and albums after Enter the 36 pretty much copied this formula of lyrics, Beat making, and even group affiliation. back then it was unheard of to have Nine Emcee's (who all had an exceptional level of skill) in a group. but since this album, you had the boot camp clique, Flipmode squad, terror squad, and the dirty dozen (commonly known as D 12). Lyrics took a dramatic turn to be way more metaphorical. Rhyme schemas were influenced, story telling became more dramatic, Beats became more raw & more complexed. Alot of producers today are Directly or indirectly influenced by the Rza. The rza was the first beat maker who put a singing samples over lyrics. He was also the first to infuse far eastern samples and sounds with raw hip hop drums and bass. I can go on for days about this album but for the people who have not heard this album it is O.K . because this is one of the great albums of the 20th cenutry that will be studied in furture years to come.
