Reviews"...This is not just another rap album with gangsta themes and gun smoke. ENTER THE WU-TANG is the manifestation of classic kung-fu type styles infected with the realities of ghetto life/death and strong Old School b-boy memories....A throwback to the days of 1986-87 when rap was filled with hones, greatness and skill...", Included in Q Magazine's "90 Best Albums of the 1990s.", "36 CHAMBERS is their landmark effort. Twenty years later, still nothing sounds quite like it; nothing can duplicate its hardest edges or most powerful passages.", "...Rza Was Building a New House for Hiphop, a Place to Mourn and Think and Wander...", "...With its rumble jumble of drumbeats, peppered with occasional piano plunking, ENTER has a raw, pass-the-mike flavor we haven't heard since rap was pop's best-kept secret...." - Rating: A, Ranked #22 in Spin Magazine's "90 Greatest Albums of the '90s.", Included in Vibe's 100 Essential Albums of the 20th Century, Ranked #62 in Mojo's "100 Modern Classics" -- "The RZA's atmospheric production spliced bullet chamber beats with eerie piano'n'string motifs...", 3 1/2 Stars - Good Plus - "...Wu-Tang make underground rap: low on hype and production values, high on the idea that indigence is an integral part of blackness....It's not enough to rhyme like have-nots and look like have-nots. They've got to sound like have-nots..."
