How ‘Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)’ Changed Everything

Thirty years after the release of Wu-Tang Clan’s launching, the brand-new episode of Rolling Stone Music Now recalls at the album, with assistance from Raekwon

Wu-Tang Clan‘s launching, Go into the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)was more than an album– it was a universe unto itself. The album, which dropped Nov. 9, 1993, presented the world to 9 hugely gifted rap artists simultaneously, together with the crackly genius of RZA‘s soul-and-kung-fu-movie-inflected production and a whole cosmology of lyrical recommendations. Thirty years later on, there’s still plenty to unload, which we try to do on the most recent episode of Wanderer Music Now

Andre Gee signs up with host Brian Hiatt for a conversation of the album’s achievement and impact, and after that among the group’s stars, Raekwon, takes a seat with Gee for an appearance inside its making and far more.
