...into the middle of “Wu Massacre’s” first single, “Our Dreams,” sets the tone for this release by three of the Wu Tang Clan’s most well-known members: Method Man, Ghostface Killah, and Raekwon. However, this is no mere return to the 1990s Wu formula of steady beats and stripped down samples overlaid with brutally compelling raps. Instead the album represents a boldly dynamic approach...
...fuse each of their three highly successful musical visions and their most irresistible elements. Combining the expert sampling of recent Ghostface Killah releases such as “Fishscale,” the classic vicious rap bite of Method Man, and the slick production skills and entrancing vocals of Raekwon, “Wu Massacre” delivers a hearty slice of outstanding rap. This release should leave members of the Wu Army suitably impressed, and shows that the spirit of its members is still as strong as ever...
Triumph. This word alone might suffice to describe the long-, long-awaited arrival of “Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… Pt. II,” by Chef Raekwon.

...finally talk about Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) outside the warm, record-filled confines of WHRB’s studios in the basement of Pennypacker. And for the past few weeks, I have been. I’m slowly indoctrinating my roommates in the ways of Ghostface and Raekwon. Not everyone has heard of the Wu-Tang Clan, and of those who have, probably even fewer really care that much, so I’m doing my part to spread the love. The student body is finally genuinely excited about a Harvard-sponsored concert...
