Synopsis

Amazon.com

It would be near to impossible to dispute that the Wu-Tang Clan are the most important hip-hop collective of the 1990s, something that the Clan seems determined not to let anyone forget. Although they released only two albums as a group in the decade (the ground-breaking Enter the Wu-Tang and the smash Wu-Tang Forever), there have been scads of albums from Wu members, associates, and guests galore--and none of it would have happened without the RZA, the singular producer whose stamp distinguishes the Clan. Working with soundscapes so dense that they have their own gravity, and an entire crew of gifted MCs (not to mention using pianos and strings), Robert "RZA" Diggs opened up mainstream hip-hop to a whole new sound. And he has the hits to prove it--"Ice Cream Man," "Brooklyn Zoo," "Method Man," "Protect Ya Neck," and "Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthin to F Wit." (Also check out Rahzel's version of this classic on Make the Music 2000.) Except for some pointless narration by RZA, this is the perfect intro to the Wu oeuvre--even if the pointlessly commercial "Wu Wear the Garment Renaissance" is included as a bonus track. --Randy Silver

CD Reviews

Classic Wu-Tang Clan

Enlightened | Atlanta Georgia | 10/26/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This disc has all of the hits on it simply put. Cream, Ice Cream, Brooklyn Zoo, Winter Warz, Bring The Pain, Incarcerated Scarfaces etc. Perfect for newcomers to the Wu Tang Clan Empire. The only problem with this album is that some songs were notable left off such as Guillotine, Verbal Intercourse, Can It All Be So Simple, ShadowBoxin and Triumph. But with all the classics that is just a minor setback and shouldnt stop you from buying this album."

Great For Wu Fans

"This is great it contains some of the Wu's greatest hits, I recomend it to hardcore Wu fans and people interest in the Wu who need to start with something.My favorite tracks are "Wu Tang Clan Ain't Nuthin Ta F Wit", "Protect Ya Neck", "Shimmy Shimmy Ya", "Liquid Swords", "Method Man", "Ice Cream", "Bring The Pain", "All I Need", and "C.R.E.A.M.". Pick it up now, its hot!"

Classic Wu

Must-Have

Open Mike | Montreal | 12/01/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I've said this before: Wu Tang greatest hits albums of any variety are a good look because there is SO MUCH to go through. Having dropped two greatest hits albums earlier this year - one live and one studio - this is an interesting addition because it pays more attention to the various solo careers that have budded from the Wu over the years. You have virtually every classic banger from every classic solo record, from Tical to Cuban Linx to Supreme Clientelle. The group stuff is on there too but only the RZA-produced material (hence the name RZA Hits), which is certainly not a bad thing given that he lays down the hottest and most relavent beats. Consider this, as with the Wu Tang Greatest hits albums, a good introduction to this collective if you're only getting into them now. You can peep the solo material and know what to pick up without trial and error because believe me Wu Tang Clan may be one of the important hip hop groups in the history of this music but they are certainly not the most consistent, even for a seasoned listener like myself. Like De La Soul, The Pharcyde and A Tribe Called Quest this is a group from the 90s that actually deserves a greatest hits album, and given all the successful solo careers this outfit has produced over the years they also merit a little showcase of the most classic bangers in that category too. And once you get past the pointless RZA interludes you will notice that classic bangers there are a-plenty."

Essential!

"A must-have for all Wu fans. and if there is someone who does not own a Wu album and would like one to start with - this is the one. Then, of course, they should go get Enter the Wu, Forever, The W, and Iron Flag ( and in that order, too :] ). What can I say? Wu Tang Clan ain't nuttin ta F wit!

P.S. "Oh, by the way Wu-Tang isn't only for black people." - Of course it isn't. Who said it is? BTW, I'm white."
