Hieroglyphics , the Wu, the Beatles and a little bit of Funk



























Over 15 years ago, the Wu Tang Clan exploded onto the the rap scene like Mandingo in some white girls mouth. It's nice to see that the Wu, and Wu related projects are still in full effect. One of my favorite Wu related projects was released a year or two ago. Entitled "Enter the 37th Chamber," the E Michels Affair, a soul/funk instrumental group, devoted an entire album to covering Wu Tang beats. If you're a sample-junkie, fan of raw dirty soul, or just a Wu Tang fan, you will cream your pants listening to their rendition of C.R.E.A.M. Is it better than the sample by the Charmels? That's up for you to decide, but there is no doubt that C.R.E.A.M. by the El Michels Affair is fire. Just when I though things couldn't get any better, I somehow stumbled across the project "Enter the 38th Chamber." A joint venture between URB magazine, the now closed Fat Beats and the El Michels affair, this album took the instrumentals found on "Enter the 37th Chamber" and laid over some vocals by underground rappers. The project never got released, but that did not stop a few leaks from coming onto the blog scene.

Here is my favorite:

A-Plus, Knobody & the El Michels Affair - C.R.E.A.M.

Another Wu related project that this blog has been bumping a lot of lately is the Wu Tang vs. the Beatles: Enter the Magical Mystery Chambers mix released (
for free!) on Tea Sea Records. Here is one of my favorite songs off of this mix that DJ Grey Bush also included in his Hip Hop Mix: 7:

Wu Tang Clan vs. the Beatles: Baby I Got Your Money

Since I am on this hip-hop journey right now and its my first post in months, I thought I'd add an extra song (not Wu related) just for good measure:

Chris Young the Rapper feat. Del tha Funky Homosapien - Stoned
