this is the dustiest shit i ever heard bro. sounds like it was recorded on a sony jambox rapping into a pair of headphones taped over some random tape they had laying around. fucking awesome.
Kathryn kaleigh Yes haha! I remember..I also remember tapes with the writing worn off the sides from so much play. I remember the first time i heard Biz Markie it was played on a Teddy Ruxpin doll lmao. The 80's...
True story. I was running with Blackwatch (home of X-Clan, Isis and Queen Mother Rage) in late 1990 into 91. We were up in INS (Ian North Studios) on Murray Street in Manhattan. We were in the recording room when we heard a brother in the next room mixing down a track called "Oh, We Love You, Rakeem" that we could hear blaring over the speakers. X-Clan were riding high at the time, so we didn't pay it much mind because it was kind of pop sounding (something we later realized was Tommy Boy industry fuckery), but the brother mixing it down was a cool as human being and a generally nice humble, but street dude... "one of us"...a Black geek/need type. He had a strange vernacular and kind of talked fast, but with a pausing between certain words. He told Paradise of X-Clan how much he admired them and what we were doing, the movement and the Clan. He also told Dise about how he had to rerecord due to a sample clearance not happening in the form of Denise Williams "Free", which probably was the best thing that happened to this brother in retrospect. Long story shorter, the good brother left the studio and upon us moving into the mix down room, we realized he left his DAT (Digital Audio Tape), which without a music lesson, is everything. Your mix, next to as important as your master. Hours of work (and money) that can kill your record deal, single or career if lost. The next day Paradise instructs my brother Derek and I to return the DAT to the owner. Blackwatch was a movement of staunch protocol, but Dise was like a big brother to us and we had wanted to get out of the office, so we took no issue with skating for a few hours. This was the last days of old NYC, so we'd likely hit the now defunct Playland Arcade while on the run. Anyway, we went down to what I think was Polydor or Tommy Boy itself in Manhattan (I'm skeptical about it being the latter is because it was supposed to be cloak & dagger down low that the DAT was even lost), but don't quote me on that met the brother who was ever so grateful and returned the DAT. Little did I know that we had played a minor role in Hip Hop history, not just with X-Clan and creating some of their memorable visual/audio aesthetics (i.e., the second logo, iconography for Professor X album, D creating the beat for Fire & Earth), but for getting RZA (Rakeem) that DAT back which effectively ended his career at Tommy Boy as chronicled in WuTang: An American Story. After watching the series, I wonder...had the original 'Free' Denise Williams mix blown up, he got an album out of Tommy Boy (who passed on Wu like idiots) and Rakeem not got dropped by, would his discontent with industry politics have been sewn into what we now know as WuTang? This is why I will always respect that brother. CFGodwell aka F.Corey
Amazing and vivid story. Respect to you. About Blackwatch, in 1991 me and my uncle were beaten pretty badly by NYPD on Liberty and Sutphin in Jamaica Queens. I was 20 at the time and called them from the number on back of an X Clan tape. I was eventually conversing with Sonny Carson himself. He asked me if I was ready to be the East Coast Rodney King I told him I wasnt seeking any of that I just wanted NYPD to pay for beating me while handcuffed in the back of a squad car. He wound up actually coming to our home. After meeting and seeing that our eyeballs were not hanging out of socket he decided our case wasnt sensational enough and never returned. We wound up turning to the NAACP for help. But respect to him, you, X Clan, Blackwatch and that whole movement.
@@nojusticenopeace17 absolutely. They had more freedom at Loud/RCA. Tommy Boy would've restrained them and they don't strike me as the types to get played by a label
got that early version gravediggaz beat right in the beginning but flipped a little .. i swear rza can make the same beat sound different like 5 times dude is a flat out genius
Man prince paul produced the gravediggaz. But im sure youre right. Producers share and collaborate. Large professor actually made most of eric b amd rakims beats
Prince Paul didn’t produce that particular beat on the Gravediggaz album though.... Forgot who’s credited for it, but it was definitely one of the producers in the Wu circle...
things happen40 I truly agree, he went Hollywood! Sitting with the white folks, enjoying that money and fame. I believe Dirty would’ve told RZA to leave that shit alone.
lo-fi has been a thing long before kids were recording on macbooks though. A lot of the more dogmatic people in the punk/indie rock/black metal communities might say that it's not true lo-fi unless it's recorded on cassette on a cheap boom box or a 4-track portastudio. Back in the 80's and 90's those were the only options a lot of poor kids had to make their own recordings. It seems weird to me that people are now using digital plug-ins and filters to try and recreate that fuzzed out tape sound.
@@lorenzobaines6222 whn ur ear adapts to those raw 4 and 8 track recordings it gets to where clean production sounds like trash..at least to me but my whole life been spent playing in underground metal and punk bands and loving this early 90s Wu sound
Agreed. 99% of the HD remastered music from this early 90's era sounds horrible. The only one I found that sounds incredible is Main Source "Breaking Atoms" album. A beautiful record already that now sounds crystal clear. I hated The Stooges remastered album. Sounded like the engineer was losing his shit. LOL
Loll yeah. The thing is, there is good rappers today’s. They are not a majority. Back in the days it was the opposite. 90% good rapper vs 10% commercial. Gotta keep your ears open for the good stuff, dont give up lol
I feel so privileged as a teen and early 20s. In music with Wu Tang, Biggie, Tupac, Mobb Deep, Nas, Busta, Cypress Hill, DMX, Eminem, Busta Rhymes, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Offspring, on and on. and on. And OMG sports, the 90's Nicks, Michael Jordan and Bulls, Rodman, and Tyson. I think in terms of music we had it better.
Im 41 now. Turned 16 in February of '94. Was 19 when WuTang Forever dropped. Their ideology and thug demeanor was how I approached the girls back then. Ironically till this day I skool them on knowledge and wisdom and then show them the understanding. Its why and how I pull adult teens (18 & 19) at age 41. Young women period. WuTang Is Definitely For The Children. These youngin' gals are able thru Wutang Rhetoric, see and understand my youthfulness the past 6 years.
Jonathan Amalidosan yeah they did, RZA GZA and ODB made a group before Wu and called them selves the All In Together Now Crew. GZA was the Genius, RZA the Scientist and ODB was the Specialist. Don’t think they made any recordings together though:/ Edit: They also made a group called the Force of the Imperial Master(FOI) and released a track called All In Together Now. The track went from Brooklyn, Downtown Staten Island, New York, all the way down to Miami and caught the attention of rapper Biz Markie. They never had a serious record deal under that title. I may be wrong on some of this info but I’m pretty sure the majority of it is correct.
You can tell they weren't trying to push the whole gangsta image too hard until they were ready to put out the 93 album. This shit has a more classic cypher vibe
Ever since watching the wu saga...I’ve been getting all types of wu tang recommendations...gotta love it...real rap raw right here...it gets no better than this...just imagine if they would have cleared his single there would be no wu tang...thanks Tommy boy for this greatness
In the movie "The 36th Chamber of Shaolin", there are 35 chambers which are levels of training in the art of Shaolin Kung fu. The Protagonist wishes to leave the temple and create a 36th Chamber outside of the temple. The 36th Chamber was teach the people. The distinction between the two is important and interesting.
true story 1996: i'm walking on university place to my job at a cafe. RZA is standing on the corner, legs spread wide, hands in pockets, actively looking smugly at every passerby (mostly NYU students) to see if they recognize him.
my god early wu tang clan this could be the very first demo tape 1992, this is fucking awesome the start of the hip hop wu tang clan hip hop magic, my all time favourtite hip hop band, and this is pure magic the kings of hip hop.
Matthew Riggs one or two i know are not alive anymore, and well and some left so it yeah we still have some of the original members. and wu tang clan is still making music today.
What's even more amazing is this isn't even RZA'S, GZA'S, or ODB'S first album. Before the recording of the 36 chambers, the Wu already had 20+ members. AllahWise(AllahMathematics) designed the "W" this picture is like a first draft. AllahWise would later produce Bronx War Stories in 1994 for the Killa Beez album
Jamie Warrior Warlord McCallum RZA released an album in 1991 called "OOH I love You Rakeem", a track called Sexcapades features RZA and ODB, also one version of the instrumental on said album is called the "Wu-Tang instrumental". GZA had an album the same year entitled "Words from the Genius". This mixtape marks the full joining of the members, but beforehand, RZA, GZA, and ODB, worked together, under WB records, which is who released the latest "A Better Tomorrow".
I KNEW THAT CUTTIN HEADS SONG from ODBs 1995 album was an earlier track. You could tell they were younger on that song. One of my all time favorite Wu tracks ever. They definitely remastered it but I think it might be the original recording of the lyrics. I wish all of Wu Tang in 1992-93 recorded like 5 albums worth of material man.
@@MostHighJem well, i expect RZA continued to make music between making his single and getting dropped by his label. The very same year he drops this. And when you listen to this many tracks, especially the first couple, feel more RZAish than tracks that made 36 chambers. Had he not gotten dropped these songs would have been on his debut album as Prince Rakeem.
Rza said a lot of beats we were hearing on 36 Chambers and other solo projects of the Wu are old beats he been did. Those joints are nice and tight as hell tho. Loving this demo from the 1st track and it was bused on the GraveDiggaz 1st album. 👊👊👊👊👊
Because besides from few this new shit ain't hip hop. Idc what nobody says Future don't make the same kind of music as Nas or Wu-Tang, which is cool it's just this new shit needs it's own label.
This rare tape showcases the core energy, the talent and heart that made the wu tang work so damn well. The beats are simple and dusty af, but it just shows how the vision came through even on a cassette.
I'm genuinely lost for words, this is unbelievably good. Thank-you whoever put this up, you should be knighted for services to hip-hop, your a star !...

Fuck yeah Im so glad I stumbled upon this. Wu-Tang is for the children.
This is a lot better a lot of the stuff I hear today
Track 3 was Clan in the front by GZA.. After the Laughter is the only track that stayed the same as Tearz
It's 'Cutting Headz' on ODB's album...pretty much the same beat though.
Kristopher Evans except it’s more on tempo and sounds more like they did it live with microphones 💯
Am i the only one who listens to this everyday?
no no,don't worry, 2.000 views are mine ;)
peace
Yes
Mark Brown.
No
yes you are because the sound quality is downright shiity
@@justincredible2249 this is a rare artifact you expect it to sound crystal clear? You are stupid
1st sample later used in Diary of a Madman by Gravediggaz, also produced by RZA
This sounds like the Prince Rakeem album that was suppose to follow his single.
How do you figure that?
@@MostHighJem well, i expect RZA continued to make music between making his single and getting dropped by his label. The very same year he drops this. And when you listen to this many tracks, especially the first couple, feel more RZAish than tracks that made 36 chambers. Had he not gotten dropped these songs would have been on his debut album as Prince Rakeem.
Still has his Prince Rakeem flow
the original bring the ruckus!!!
Yo. those drums are all over enter the 36 Chambers.
Yo that shit of the hook
@@GeeMoney843 Those sound like the 7th Chamber drums
@@eddied80 word. I respect that observation. I was rocking 7th chamber a couple of days ago
This is WAAAAY better than "Ohhh we love you Rahkeem" lol. Down with the Sound since the beginning!!!
Wu fans should all know Sunz of Man/Killarmy too.
I love how I'm how I'm hearing this for the 1st time, and I've been a Wu banger since 93
Rza said a lot of beats we were hearing on 36 Chambers and other solo projects of the Wu are old beats he been did. Those joints are nice and tight as hell tho. Loving this demo from the 1st track and it was bused on the GraveDiggaz 1st album. 👊👊👊👊👊
Man imagine if wutang rereleased this and remade the beats and everything it would be epic
rza started off so raw
O.m.g this is hip hop gold! Thank you for sharing! Never knew this existed till it popped up in my recommended just now.
STRAIGHT RAW! This is that basement sound. Where it all started. Thanks for sharing. SUPER DOPE!!!
Now if it turns out that ONCE UPON A TIME IN SHAOLIN is an HD top quality version of this tape, I'll start saving right now
Damn, that's even the original logo that Allah Math drew up, according to RZA!
Yeah & its also in the description genius
This sounds so ahead of it's time for 1992
Yo RZA used this beat for Gravediggaz "Diary of a Madman" I'm so glad I heard this. Even this tape kills all new hip-hop
Because besides from few this new shit ain't hip hop. Idc what nobody says Future don't make the same kind of music as Nas or Wu-Tang, which is cool it's just this new shit needs it's own label.
Loud Records A&R office was the place to be back then, did promo for them and anything that came in got played...
22 and just now hearing this underground diamond 💎 true from the dirt 🌆
That's young. You were years from being born when it was made
@@silewis9396 that's true and salute to hip hop and you peace
👐🐝🔥
This rare tape showcases the core energy, the talent and heart that made the wu tang work so damn well. The beats are simple and dusty af, but it just shows how the vision came through even on a cassette.
There's a sound and groove with 90s beats that cannot be made today. Even with samples.
the rugged equipment, analog. especially the e-mu SP1200 drum, machine/sampler 10 seconds of sample time.
@@TapeFlip Who's doing this?
I want a whole hour of these Demo Cutz
I'm genuinely lost for words, this is unbelievably good. Thank-you whoever put this up, you should be knighted for services to hip-hop, your a star !...
Karaoke machine rhyming days...the nostalgia is heavy with this one!
UA-cam recommended this to me. Blissful life.
Cuttin Heads became my favorite track on Enter the 36 Chambers
uff sounds like the ol days, makes me remember the time i was 22 years then
Who else coming back regularly to get their dose of this musical drug?
This shows how ahead Rza was.. this came out when I was a 4th grader in 1992 & @ that time it was ganksta rap & whoop there it is
I can see that their rap and delivery of lyrics were still getting honed...yet not one single wack beat...RZA!!
