The Genius sums up the Wu-Tang story in just one sentence on "Reunited;" "Reunited/Double-LP, world excited/Struck a match to the underground, industry ignited". The Wu-Tang Clan is raw, honest hip-hop at its best, and though they are arguably the best in their field, they haven`t forgotten their underground roots. Back together after a multi-platinum debut as well as gold and platinum solo albums by several group members, Wu-Tang deliver the most anticipated album in rap history, WU-TANG FOREVER.
The RZA, whose name is used to describe his razor sharp production, is probably the only producer in hip-hop whose sound is so clearly defined and so hard to imitate. Combining the complex lyrics of the Clan with unique sounds and frequently off-beat singing, the RZA is the group`s musical mastermind. Whether the focus is on the GZA`s wit, the grimy world-view of the Method Man, Raekwon and Ghostface`s hard-core street smarts, the lyrical wizardry of the Inspectah Deck or the certified insanity of the Ol` Dirty Bastard, Wu-Tang are lyrically, musically and conceptually light years ahead of other MCs.
