  • Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) is the debut album of American East Coast hip hop collective Wu-Tang Clan, released November 9, 1993 on Loud Records and distributed through RCA Records. Recording sessions for the album took place at Firehouse Studio in New York City from 1992 to 1993, while it was mastered at The Hit Factory. The group's de facto leader RZA, also known as Prince Rakeem, produced the album entirely with heavy, eerie beats, largely based on martial-arts movie clips and soul music samples. The album title originates from the martial arts film The 36th Chamber of Shaolin (1978). The distinctive sound of Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) created a blueprint for hardcore hip hop in the mid-1990s and helped return New York City hip hop to national prominence. The unique sound of the album also became hugely influential in modern hip hop production and inspired several subsequent producers. The album also marked the first appearances of a number of rappers, including Method Man, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Ghostface Killah, and Raekwon, who have collectively sold millions of solo records after the album's release. The lyrics of Enter the Wu-Tang are explicit, humorous, and free-associative, and served as a template for many subsequent hip hop records. The Wu-Tang Clan's debut album is notable for serving as a landmark record in the era of hip hop music known as the East Coast Renaissance. Enter the Wu-Tang had surprising chart success, despite its raw, underground sound. It peaked at number 41 on the Billboard 200 chart, with help from its highest-charting single "C.R.E.A.M.". By 1995, the album was certified platinum in sales by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The album's style and success became influential as it helped lead the way for several other East Coast hip hop artists, including Nas, The Notorious B.I.G. , Mobb Deep, and Jay-Z. Although it initially received some mixed criticism, several music writers have since considered Enter the Wu-Tang as one of the most significant albums of the 1990s, as well as one of the greatest hip hop albums of all-time. In 2003, the album was ranked number 386 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

  • Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) est sorti en 1993 et constitue le premier album du Wu-Tang Clan, un groupe de hip-hop américain. Clairsemé de beats pénétrants et de samples provenants de films de kung-fu, 36 Chambers est considéré comme le meilleur album du groupe et l'un des meilleurs du genre. Contrairement à la plupart des groupes de hip-hop, le Wu-Tang ne donna pas de suite immédiate à cet album, du fait que plusieurs membres du groupe aient sorti des albums solos avant de se concentrer sur un deuxième album collectif. L'album fut classé meilleur album de 1993 et 386ème des 500 meilleurs albums de tous les temps par le magazine Rolling Stone.

  • [T]he lyrics reach back to New York’s own [[Rakim]]: dense battle rhymes potent with metaphors. Each Wu MC links his rhymes to crime and violence, allowing his preoccupations to surface subtly and indirectly, rather than spouting off overt gangsta-isms designed to shock...The hood imagery of the lyrics is utterly pervasive and uncompromising, immersing the listener in a foreign land smack in the middle of New York. There is no celebration here, and little hope.
