But the story of the Wu-Tang was unfolding even years before the release of Enter the Chambers. I told them, “If y’all give me five years of your life, I promise you in five years I’m gonna take us to the top.” And so we gave each other our word. I told them that if they’ put their solo careers on hold, we could work together for something much bigger. I would tempt death because I knew I couldn’t die. There was a certainty that nothing could hold us back. I told them that the next five years would be guided by the force of will and that for those five years I was the answer. “After we recorded, “Protect Ya Neck,”…I knew we had to form one big crew officially… I told them about my vision. RZA’s narrates the creation of Wu-Tang Clan in the Wu-Tang Manual, saying that: To this day, Wu-Tang’s debut album, “ Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)” continues to have an indubitable profound effect on anyone who listens to the symphony of lyrical sword play expressed by the Staten Island clique. Who were they? They were Wu-Tang Clan and they were creating this record to inform you that they ain’t nothing to fuck with, indeed. RZA’s genius in mixing soul samples with raw underground sounds created a ruckus from Brooklyn to Compton. And the production on their album was unlike anything that came out in the 90s.
20 years ago, November 9 th, nine New York super group rappers released their debut album, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) and the hip-hop world was forever changed.
