Wu-Chronicles compiles 14 tracks of previously released Wu-tinged madness, along with a pair of new tracks. Most of these feature Wu family members as guests on tracks from the Notorious B.I.G. ("The What," featuring Metho... more »d Man), Mobb Deep ("Right Back at You," featuring Ghostface Killah, Raekwon, and Big Noyd), and Tha Alkaholiks ("Hip Hop Drunkies," featuring Ol' Dirty Bastard). There are also killer cuts by Wu stalwarts such as Genius/GZA, Raekwon, RZA, and Inspectah Deck. Though some hardcore fans may deem this release redundant because most of these tracks have seen the light of wax before, they will still want to own it for the convenience factor, the ultra-cool artwork, and those two new offerings: "Latunza Hit," by the Wu-Syndicate, is an infectious downtempo track infused with a solid bass groove and misty-mountaintop atmosphere, while "'96 Recreation (Demo)" features longtime Wu cohort Cappadonna along with RZA and Ol' Dirty Bastard, all three dropping heavy verses over an eerie, rumbling beat. --Spencer Abbott« less

"Well, all the songs are onpoint thats why i gave 5 starts but i have and own every single song here... My favorites ? Genious "cold world" and mobb deep's "right back at you" the best two tracks there but the rest is tight as well! Worth your money ? yes, if you haven't heard early wu and want to get schooled buy it but if your hooked on that ludacris trash along with ja rule,nelly,gay z,fabulos,bowow...Then, don't even bother ! This is strictly for long time fans or who ever feel true hip hop... Don't foget where it came from, son !!!"
Indeed a great album

"This album has the same elements of every Wu album. Depth, Beats, and MCing all put into one nice package. Although all these songz (except 2) were previously released, many Wu fans to NOT own all these albums. This was a great way of bringing Wu back into the world of music, shine light on some members we see less often, and entertain us with some killer cuts. My reccomendation: BUY THIS ALBUM"

"more knowledge to your wig. The songs with AZ and Ras Kass are treats and then getting The What, and the first two bangers from Genius' and Rae's albums respectively, plus the demo song and the cold world remix, and the jams with heltah skeltah, cocoa brovas and alkoholiks which were all dope and this is just a slamming compilation. you cant go wrong with this album, period. I figure if youre getting wu people from others' albums, though, not getting Pac's Got My Mind Made Up w/perhaps my favorite Meth vers ever was too bad, but you can't get everything, just think how many damn songs these guys have all made now, and they came out w. protect yr neck just 6 years back!"
