The W - Plak

ENGLISH

The W is the third studio album by the world's baddest Hip Hop group Wu-Tang Clan. Released in 2000, the album debuted at number 5 on the Billboard 200, and instantly topped the R&B/Hip Hop Albums Chart after release. Containing the hit "Gravel Pit", the album was certified Platinum a few months later.<br /> After their 1997 album Wu-Tang Forever [MOVLP1055] and several solo projects, The W has a more rugged, less polished sound than most Wu-Tang related albums from that era. Group mastermind RZA produced The W with roughed up Soul samples and tight, tough beats. Paranoid kung fu samples and bizarre sounds drive the fantastic nightmare. The back-to-basics approach (the group's massive debut Enter The Wu-Tang [MOVLP215] comes to mind) works so well because it puts the focus back on some of the best rappers in the game.<br /> The album also features guest appearances from Isaac Hayes, Redman, Nas, Busta Rhymes and Snoop Dogg.<br /> <br /> 180 gram audiophile vinyl <br /> Wide spine sleeve<br /> First pressing of 1500 numbered copies on crystal clear vinyl<br />
