Great record! Absolutely psychedelic and twisted. Also quite liked last years <i>The Resident Patient</i> by Inspectah Deck.

Huh?
Gems from the Inspectah Deck "Uncontrolled Substance" LP:
"Hyperdermix"
"Longevity"
"Femme Fatale"
"Elevation"
"Lovin' U"
"Word On The Street"
"Grand Prix"
"R.E.C. Room"
"Trouble Man"
"Friction"
and the list goes on...
Keep in mind that Deck had to replace a lot of songs/beats that RZA recorded/made specifically for his project (going back to "Lemme At 'Em") were lost in a flood in RZA's basement. I didn't like the second single choice "Show & Prove" and the flood delayed the album and hurt it's impact as well...it was still a dope album IMO.

Well I like Inspectah Deck a lot, but that was an underwhelming album, and he deserved better.
What's the general view on Royal Fam? I thought their first album was quite strange.
And what happened to Black Knights of the North Star and the Beggaz? Their tracks on the first Killer Bees comp were AMAZING.
And 'Co-defendant' by Shyheim and Hell Razah still sends shivers up and down my spine. Shyheim was a talented kid, what happened to him? I don't follow these things very closely anymore.
And Smiff-n-Wessun mmm, mmm delicious. What a lovely period that was.

The stories......
Royal Fam? Dude's been better off solo in my opinion.
Black Knights /North Star have been recording steadily for years (Check http://www.chambermusik.com for proof). They are in disarray now since Doc Doom was killed a week ago.
The Beggaz broke up and were absorbed into Wu-Internationl...some joined The Orphanage, others went solo.
Shyheim went to jail a year after "The Lost Generation"...he was doing a lot of acting on TV ("The Parent 'Hood") and in movies ("Original Gangstas", "In Too Deep"). He caught a case and got cut on his face with a razor...he required plastic surgery and had to go back a few times to correct it. He released his "Manchild" LP after he was released from years in prison with Wu International...his next album was "The Greatest Story Never Told" on Nervous Records and "There She Goes/21st Century Crisis" was the lead single back in 2005...I've never seen a physical copy of the album, though.

safe for all the replies guys and gals. will check out all recommendations , keep em comin!! How would i go about hearing say the rza rza rza rakeem or old school pre wu gza stuff\//? or as i mentiond the NY radio shows - id kill to hear them especially....
its funny but as aggressive as wu tang music is , i find it so positive and uplifting after rinsing liquid swords i just bust out my house and think fuck it.... i'm getting on with my shit and dont give a f**k about anything! in the best possible sense......
something about the combination of voice and beat... my thing is dubstep/grime bein in london but i think those scenes are rarely as soulful... as rza says he looks at the voices of the mcs as instruments and crafts the beats to showcase the mc'ing... not the other way round yet one can completely drift off to either or both elements....lovely!

I already like Wu Tang Clan but can I just say reading this makes me really happy. Maybe it's hearing you speak positively about music from the perspective of *how it makes you feel.*
I feel like I don't hear that much when people here (or many places) talk about music - it's often assessed in more extrinsic terms. I like hearing more specifically how music affects someone, it's cool.

Wu-Tang have
changed my life on multiple occasions...and still continue to do so in many ways
they are an essential part of my upbringing...which is quite weird
yeah Wu are living legends
I haven't got anything else to add in terms of what to cop except I still remember when Wu-Tang Forever (which is so underrated) went to number 1 in the albums chart in england....IN THE FLAMIN' UK?!?!
amazing

I'd really recommend the demos if people haven't heard them. Thanks PD.
