DOWN 'N' DIRTY. SIX YEARS AFTER THE WU-TANG CLAN'S 36 CHAMBERS POISED THE ORIGINAL NINE STATEN ISLANDERS TO TAKE OVER THE RECORD INDUSTRY, THE WUS HAVE EFFECTIVELY SET UP HIP-HOP'S FIRST DYNASTY. RELEASING ONE LONG-PLAYER ODE TO STREET LIFE AFTER ANOTHER, WITH EACH MEMBER PLAYING A DIFFERENT ROLL IN THE MONOPOLY, THEY HAVE STORMED THE MUSIC WORLD, WITH MORE THAN A DOZEN SOLO AND COLLECTIVE ALBUMS AND A CLUSTER OF BREAKBEATS, RHYMES OF PASSION AND KING FU CINEMA SKITS. AFTER COUNTLESS COMPLICATIONS -- FROM REALEASE DELAYS TO JAIL SENTENCES TO LACKLUSTER ALBUMS -- THE WU-TANG CLAN ARE ONCE AGAIN POISED FOR HIPHOP DOMINATION. WITH U-GOD AND INSPECTAH DECK DROPPING SOLO DEBUTS, ODB'S LOONY NIGGA PLEASE DEBUTING IN THE TOP TEN, METHOD MAN AND REDMAN'S DOUBLE-FISTED JOINT, BLACKOUT!, HITTING STREETS TODAY, AND A THIRD FULL-LENGTH FORTHCOMING FROM WU-AFFILIATE SHYHEIM, THE SHAOLIN POSSE PROVE ONCE AGAIN THAT THE WU-TANG CLAN AIIN'T NOTHING TO FUCK WITH.
