    I was in 9th grade when this dropped. This was a day one cop for me. None of my friends had the album back then. I would sing the old Iron Man cartoon theme song on our way to school, they had no idea what the h--- I was listening to. I remember the first time I heard “Mighty Healthy”- I lost count how many times I replayed that track alone. I recall that the track listing was also a little out of whack and Ghost used an Inspectah Deck beat. I don’t put the album above Ironman but it’s definitely one of the greatest albums of all time.

    When DOOM died I said he was one of those one in a million creative geniuses who can never be replicated because no one else's brain has worked or ever will work like that.

    Ghostface has another one of those brains.

    Start with Enter the Wu-Tang if you haven't heard it, easiest to get into imo. After that Only Built 4 Cuban Linx (Raekwon) and Supreme Clientele—Liquid Swords (GZA) as well but I think that one's a little harder to get into.

    I once dedicated a whole episode of my podcast to this album its references to the Nation of Islam. Unfortunately, it never saw the light of day but some key things I remember. After I read U-God's book Raw, I understood this album so much better. Ghost recorded this album in Africa and there are several references to the Black man as god, as Ghost was trying to connect with his roots.

    This is without a doubt one of the best hip hop albums of all time.

    I was never into East. Reopen the West since day one and I'm ashamed to admit that I've never heard this album. Or basically anything from any of the Wu. Bar a few individual songs.

    I'll listen to this though and go from there!

    This will always be one of my favorite albums OAT, one of the of the craziest albums ever made. Its just a non stop barrage of weirdness and brilliance and 'how the f--- did he do that?' lol. Also, Stroke of Death remains the ugliest - or as Chris Rock described "makes you want to stab your babysitter" instrumental I've ever heard.

    oh man I'm envious, you're in for a massive treat. I'll never forget my journey discovering Wu. If you're gonna do it definitely go with the albums BC listed as a good starting point. Imperative that you start with Enter the Wu Tang
