The 36 Chambers album was truly a life changing project for me and everyone in my circle to say the least. The year it dropped I was active duty Air Force stationed in Altus Ok and for at least a month straight this was all we rocked in our dorms, cars, clubs and picnics. It even got so bad that cats changed there whole way of speaking up to sound like Meth always such up saliva between sentences and we didn't have gold fronts). This EPK takes me right back to those times "I smoke on the mic like smoking Joe Frasier.." and "I grew up on the crime side New York Times side, staying alive was no Jive". What other crew made the impact of The Wu? Like RZA said in the interview we were waiting on some real Hip Hop back then. It’s really funny because that statement holds true as I type this sentence so does that prove the theory of The Evolution of Hip Hop? Is it coming back around full circle? I sure hope so because everyday I wake hoping to hear a group or soloist drop a single or album that makes me feel like it’s 1994 again.
Part I
part II
Additional treat:
My man Mo over at Making The Mogul just blessed me with this rare footage of the Wu back in 1992 before The 36 dropped. It's funny how Ghost was asking "Do ya'll have rap over there?" because not too after that Europe was like their second home....funny how that works.
