36 Chambers, possibly the greatest hip-hop album ever.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

36 CHAMBERS OMG!!!!












This is embarrassing but fuck it...

I used to be in a little gang called the Wu-Tang Clan

We all used to love their music, i was only about 12-13 and i had then only really learned about Hip-Hop...

36 Chambers, i can't belive i forgot about that album... Just seeing it in writting gave me chills
Wu-Tang were the shit! Their whole vibe was just crazy. Thinking about it know, it was almost like religion with us

Back in the day, me & my boys used to get into loads of fights with a bunch of racists pricks from West Ham. We kinda glorified the whole Gang angle on it and called ourselves Wu-Tang. I was Inspectah Deck

But people knew us. You had the Plaistow boys, the Stratty Boys, those fucking Nazi's from West Ham... They all knew us and respected us. The Wu-Tang thing died off but my God... Thanks for the memories

''As the world turns, i spread like germs. Flush this globe of the pestilence.
The heard-headed never learn, that's my testament to those burned.
Play my position in this game of life standing firm.''

That's hilarious man.

I discovered Wu Tang for myself in high school after hearing my brothers bump them all the time. What's funny is among me and a couple friends I would always be the Inspectah too. One time we were in my friends garage at his birthday party and there were all these 'Phoenix kids' who were basically punk rock kids who hung out at the concert hall downtown, named The Pheonix. So we're with them and it was kind of awkward because it was basically divided into 2 parts and they were on the side with the speaker system so obviously they had their shitty ass songs on. The worst was when 'Smoke 2 Joints' by Sublime came on and all these kids who supposedly lived a 'straight edge' life started singing the shit. I love Sublime so I had to do something. I creeped over there in true Inspectah fashion and changed the ipod to some Wu Tang, it always took a few minutes for everyone to notice but they kept getting tripped out and I kept doing it Was hilarious before finally we were laughing so hard we couldn't contain it, while they all thought wtf

Jay Z is an all time worst artist, Biggie died so they needed another wack popular big mouth to make money off so thats how Jay Z was made.

Theres only one great rapper and nobody can compare....

"Fuck Jay Z". Tupac Shakur.

[HattonTheHammer]

the whole scene just reminds me of a very lame and camp version of wwf wrestling

My boy shot him, so he shot at us - our gang is better than yours - why doesnt the whole genre just create monthly PPVs where they can walk around in fake title belts and cut promos before they rap-off

I seriously grew out of this sh*t when i was 14 and now appreciate REAL music

Hammer you really don't have a clue. You have probably heard of less than ten hip-hop acts. The way you describe it is not the case in 90% of cases. Decent hip-hop artists talk about as much, if not more, varied topics than most rock/indie bands. You are talking in stereotypes as usual.

I don't like hip-hop neither but I wouldn't say it is not real music. Some old school artists and a few more recents are making very good lyrics. The problem is that just like punk (which I am kind of a lot into), the scene turned bad and we see and hear more about the poo wagon than the good ones and unfortunately, it is that same wagon that gives a very bad image to the scene, same runs for punk, sadly.

I gladly co-sign the last comment...

However I cant deny that Biggie was a beast.
I gotp mad love and respect for biggie.
A lyrical genius and he was only 24 when he died.

But I agree FUCK JAY Z... Ether.

When Tupac said "Fuck Jay Z" he was on one. He said fuck just about everyone and happened to throw Jay Z's name in there. Anyone who says Jay Z is an all time worst, that's just not possible. If anything you might not feel him but no way is he anything less then average.

Btw, he rapped about sellin rocks and stash spots at a fucken Yankees world series game, at this point whatever anyone says it doesn't matter, he's already the most successful rapper ever and success breeds hate. People wouldn't hate Lil Wayne the way they hate Lil Wayne if he didn't happen to be one of the most popular rappers out there. Same goes for Jay Z.

Theres only one great rapper

If you believe that, fine. But just in case you actually do, I had to bring this one out.
