What's so great about Wu Tang's '36 Chambers'?
This arrived through the mail yesterday. It really isn't very good. I like all sorts of hip-hop, and i like solo work by RZA, GZA, Method Man & Ghostface Killah, but 'Enter The Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers' just sounds horribly dated and i fin the beats largely dull.
Is it one of these "oh, but it was a classic in its time" albums? Ditto Nas' - Illmatic (though that's certainly better than 36 Chambers IMO).
NB: i'm not saying people are wrong for thoroughly enjoying it, i'm just curious as to what is so stellar about an album that - to me - sounds dated and mediocre.
