Enter the Wu-Tang is amazing because it is so original. There are nine members in the group, and all of them can rap. The martial arts film interludes and the classic soul samples are timeless. RZA's dark, cinematic beats give all the emcees space to kick some of the greatest verses in the history of hip-hop (Raekwon on "C.R.E.A.M.", Ol Dirty Bastard on "Protect Ya Neck"). And the greatest testament to this album, in my opinion, is that it still holds up almost twenty years later. If this album were to come out today, no current album would be able to compete with it.
