FACTS
Hell yeaaaaa!!
Atta Boy!! TRUTH!
right right...
The guy in the cover didn’t protect his neck
😂🤣😂🤣
Wu Tang sword sharper than the average
Damn comment you scary!
He met up with a man on a mission niggas said was impossible. He was a body dropper, a heart beat stopper, child educator, plus (obviously) a head amputator.
Fatal flying guillotine chopped off his fucking head
This is one of the tapes that Atilla stole.. 😂
Jerry Alexander 😂😂😂😂 Facts he up load it
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jerry Alexander lmfao yo relax
😂😂😂😂😂
🤣😂🤣
The first beat is used in Diary of a Madman by Gravediggaz
Dave Meidinger Yeah with a creepy sample from "West Side Story" film.
No wonder it sounded familiar. Thanks for reminding me.
Yea It Was Produced By Him And RNS From GP Wu. Classic
Yup, And track 6 "After The Laughter" later became "Tearz". Same beat used too
Johnny Mathis - no love
this is the dustiest shit i ever heard bro. sounds like it was recorded on a sony jambox rapping into a pair of headphones taped over some random tape they had laying around. fucking awesome.
Kathryn kaleigh hahaha exactly.
Kathryn kaleigh Yes haha! I remember..I also remember tapes with the writing worn off the sides from so much play. I remember the first time i heard Biz Markie it was played on a Teddy Ruxpin doll lmao. The 80's...
I definitely have recorded like this back in the day
I love it.... it’s so fuckin raw
😭💯👑
As an wu tang fanatic, this is a golden jewel for me.. Im mighty greatfull to whoever uploaded it..
Thankful
Right
Let’s be real here tho, etymologically great full is better by orders of magnitude than grate full
PLEASE DON'T EVER TAKE THIS DOWN. Seriously
I second that!!
I third this
This chit belongs in da hiphop museum craaaaazzzy!!!!
IT IS THE HIP HOP MUSUEM DUDE !!!! THIS ROOM IS SO CROWDY BUT WALK AROUND N CHECK ALSO OTHER ROOMS ....YOU WILL REMAIN ASTONISHED
@@c0rry i think they are making actual hip hop museum but i aint sure
True story. I was running with Blackwatch (home of X-Clan, Isis and Queen Mother Rage) in late 1990 into 91. We were up in INS (Ian North Studios) on Murray Street in Manhattan. We were in the recording room when we heard a brother in the next room mixing down a track called "Oh, We Love You, Rakeem" that we could hear blaring over the speakers. X-Clan were riding high at the time, so we didn't pay it much mind because it was kind of pop sounding (something we later realized was Tommy Boy industry fuckery), but the brother mixing it down was a cool as human being and a generally nice humble, but street dude... "one of us"...a Black geek/need type. He had a strange vernacular and kind of talked fast, but with a pausing between certain words. He told Paradise of X-Clan how much he admired them and what we were doing, the movement and the Clan. He also told Dise about how he had to rerecord due to a sample clearance not happening in the form of Denise Williams "Free", which probably was the best thing that happened to this brother in retrospect.
Long story shorter, the good brother left the studio and upon us moving into the mix down room, we realized he left his DAT (Digital Audio Tape), which without a music lesson, is everything. Your mix, next to as important as your master. Hours of work (and money) that can kill your record deal, single or career if lost. The next day Paradise instructs my brother Derek and I to return the DAT to the owner. Blackwatch was a movement of staunch protocol, but Dise was like a big brother to us and we had wanted to get out of the office, so we took no issue with skating for a few hours. This was the last days of old NYC, so we'd likely hit the now defunct Playland Arcade while on the run. Anyway, we went down to what I think was Polydor or Tommy Boy itself in Manhattan (I'm skeptical about it being the latter is because it was supposed to be cloak & dagger down low that the DAT was even lost), but don't quote me on that met the brother who was ever so grateful and returned the DAT. Little did I know that we had played a minor role in Hip Hop history, not just with X-Clan and creating some of their memorable visual/audio aesthetics (i.e., the second logo, iconography for Professor X album, D creating the beat for Fire & Earth), but for getting RZA (Rakeem) that DAT back which effectively ended his career at Tommy Boy as chronicled in WuTang: An American Story.
After watching the series, I wonder...had the original 'Free' Denise Williams mix blown up, he got an album out of Tommy Boy (who passed on Wu like idiots) and Rakeem not got dropped by, would his discontent with industry politics have been sewn into what we now know as WuTang? This is why I will always respect that brother.
CFGodwell aka F.Corey
Amazing and vivid story. Respect to you. About Blackwatch, in 1991 me and my uncle were beaten pretty badly by NYPD on Liberty and Sutphin in Jamaica Queens. I was 20 at the time and called them from the number on back of an X Clan tape. I was eventually conversing with Sonny Carson himself. He asked me if I was ready to be the East Coast Rodney King I told him I wasnt seeking any of that I just wanted NYPD to pay for beating me while handcuffed in the back of a squad car. He wound up actually coming to our home. After meeting and seeing that our eyeballs were not hanging out of socket he decided our case wasnt sensational enough and never returned. We wound up turning to the NAACP for help. But respect to him, you, X Clan, Blackwatch and that whole movement.
@CFGodwell wow, thank you for sharing this legendary story, that’s peace fam, one love King ✌🏾❤️🤴🏾
Cinematic! I wanna se this event as a key scene in the movie "wutang - the prequel"
Awesome story tell u what Tommy Boy droppin em was the best thing to happen that let the Wu do their thing bringing us that real shit
@@nojusticenopeace17 absolutely. They had more freedom at Loud/RCA. Tommy Boy would've restrained them and they don't strike me as the types to get played by a label
got that early version gravediggaz beat right in the beginning but flipped a little .. i swear rza can make the same beat sound different like 5 times dude is a flat out genius
Yh man that beats diary of a madman by gravediggaz well spotted
Thanks. That was gonna drive me crazy
Man prince paul produced the gravediggaz. But im sure youre right. Producers share and collaborate. Large professor actually made most of eric b amd rakims beats
Maaaan prince paul can NEVER catch a break!
Prince Paul didn’t produce that particular beat on the Gravediggaz album though.... Forgot who’s credited for it, but it was definitely one of the producers in the Wu circle...
The Rza was on some different level back then. Needs to come back with that hunger for real.
He drank that Hollywood punch. Only way back from that is by being blacklisted.
Too rich to be hungry
Sledge RZA edge is fully Fed
things happen40 I truly agree, he went Hollywood! Sitting with the white folks, enjoying that money and fame. I believe Dirty would’ve told RZA to leave that shit alone.
Hunger?? He already made it tf
This is like discovering The book of Enoch..... Or better yet the Dead Sea scrolls.
Bruh, facts!!!!
YOOO!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣that’s a fact!!!
Much better bro! Peace!
Better! Because it's real!
When I heard bring da ruckus it reminded me of hearing unreleased version of down 71 the getaway
I love how in the beginning of this you hear grave diggers diary of a madman the beat before it ever made it to that track that's insane
It’s even excellent in its rawest form. Much like old punk rock. This is a masterpiece. They should release it on iTunes.
Agreed. It reminds me of those old underground punk rock tapes. They sounded awful too but the energy on them was undeniable.
@@lorenzobaines6222 whn ur ear adapts to those raw 4 and 8 track recordings it gets to where clean production sounds like trash..at least to me but my whole life been spent playing in underground metal and punk bands and loving this early 90s Wu sound
Agreed. 99% of the HD remastered music from this early 90's era sounds horrible. The only one I found that sounds incredible is Main Source "Breaking Atoms" album. A beautiful record already that now sounds crystal clear. I hated The Stooges remastered album. Sounded like the engineer was losing his shit. LOL
This is why Wu-Tang clan is in the Hall of Fame greatest group one of the greatest groups ever
From this to 36 chambers shows that RZA definitely put in 1000 hours in the studio to perfect his sound 👐🏽👐🏽👐🏽
This should be put in the Smithsonian!
This is a national treasure.
94 was perfect for Wu-Tang to break. People wouldn't have been ready in 92. And Cuttin Headz is one my favorite Wu beats.
Its definitely up there
But they was ready..this demo circulated NY in late 92 and Enter the 36 was 93 so i dont understand ur comment
Nothing new in 92
93
Cuttin heads is clan in da front backwards I’m pretty sure too
Dope how RZA brought the first tracks intrumental back in Diary of a madman for Gravediggaz.
Yo. Rza was sampling drums from all over the place. I love how he flipped this BDP drums in that 2nd song
I love that second track-couldn't stop bopping my head! ✊
RZA should remix this and release it as an EP.
Ever since watching the wu saga...I’ve been getting all types of wu tang recommendations...gotta love it...real rap raw right here...it gets no better than this...just imagine if they would have cleared his single there would be no wu tang...thanks Tommy boy for this greatness
Same here. And that's facts...I'm glad Tommy Boy passed up
The one with rza and odb was on ODB album. I like how they go line for line
"Cuttin Headz"
This Demo was raw ... these dudes was in the basement for real. 🤦♂️😆. The first track was used by Gravediggaz for Diary of a Madman.
What pleasure it was to hear the original Tearz and Bring the ruckus in their entirety
They have kids all over the world trying to make this dirty sound on Mac books...they call it lofi
Yep see that..they need just to go back to cassette
Samuel Jones III they do a damn good job sometimes also
DJ KATANA without a doubt!
this aint the dirty sound we love.
this is just a very poor quality rip from an old cassette
lo-fi has been a thing long before kids were recording on macbooks though. A lot of the more dogmatic people in the punk/indie rock/black metal communities might say that it's not true lo-fi unless it's recorded on cassette on a cheap boom box or a 4-track portastudio. Back in the 80's and 90's those were the only options a lot of poor kids had to make their own recordings. It seems weird to me that people are now using digital plug-ins and filters to try and recreate that fuzzed out tape sound.
I feel so privileged as a teen and early 20s.
In music with Wu Tang, Biggie, Tupac, Mobb Deep, Nas, Busta, Cypress Hill, DMX, Eminem, Busta Rhymes, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Offspring, on and on.
and on.
And OMG sports, the 90's Nicks, Michael Jordan and Bulls, Rodman, and Tyson.
I think in terms of music we had it better.
The Jets were still shit then though. I should know, I watched a lot of it.
Im 41 now. Turned 16 in February of '94. Was 19 when WuTang Forever dropped. Their ideology and thug demeanor was how I approached the girls back then. Ironically till this day I skool them on knowledge and wisdom and then show them the understanding. Its why and how I pull adult teens (18 & 19) at age 41. Young women period. WuTang Is Definitely For The Children. These youngin' gals are able thru Wutang Rhetoric, see and understand my youthfulness the past 6 years.
@@7LAMPSofFIRE ugh...kinda creepy.lol
@@7LAMPSofFIRE 😐
@jimmie jenkins I did, I said Tupac.
Tearz almost exactly the same as on 36

Gotta wonder how much they are sitting on from this era.
No
Never have I needed something so badly and not known it existed. A thousand thanks for this gem of an upload!
I appreciate this uploader guy hearting every single comment
You can tell this group was going to be legendary regardless of the quality, amazing. Thanks for uploading it.
Who’s here listening to this in 1992?
EBK SCORSESE 16 year old me is here in spirit
Me. Waiting until next year for Souls Of Mischief's album to drop.
1992 13 year old me is.
@@Lapua79 its honestly great at least wu will never be forgotten
@@bayareanewman1566 my 15y.o. me is jealous, because it listens to stupid country music :D
(hey, it was a phase xD)
The 27 people that gave this a thumbs down that’s the decapitated heads the Wu Logo is holding!
30 thumbs down from 30 plebians who don't appreciate a great piece of hip hop history
Who else is listening to this after midnight???
Robert Dozier it's Danm near midnight, I'm listening to it though.
Rn
4am right here.
everyone
man, this is so fucking dope. Even though it's very low quality, these RZA beats still sound as raw and dirty as what we actually got.
The diary of a madman beat 🤯 also love the original demo of Cuttin Headz
Dirty dust demo. RZA stayed dedicated to seeing his Vision come to life. ✊🕶
It’s crazy because this is just a demo! From 1992 at that but even then it’s nothing short of amazing and genius!!!
Who here after watching American Saga?
We need two more seasons.
Rather bump this than anything coming out in 2019.
You must've never heard of Westside Gunn, Conway the Machine and Benny the Butcher..or 38 Spesh..
Loll yeah. The thing is, there is good rappers today’s. They are not a majority. Back in the days it was the opposite. 90% good rapper vs 10% commercial. Gotta keep your ears open for the good stuff, dont give up lol
I don't know about excluding everything in 2019. Gangstarr dropped a new track with recordings of Guru. Hit me harder than I thought.
Straight up!!!
More upvotes. This needs more upvotes
Dirty was so ill. I miss that brother
The track at 14:00 is mesmerizing! I wish RZA, GZA, and ODB did some side projects as a group, just the cousins, you know.
+monkmode yeah had it on repeat for a minute... that shit is totally golden!!!
that would have been dope.
monkmode weren’t they a group back in the day?
Jonathan Amalidosan yeah they did, RZA GZA and ODB made a group before Wu and called them selves the All In Together Now Crew. GZA was the Genius, RZA the Scientist and ODB was the Specialist. Don’t think they made any recordings together though:/
Edit:
They also made a group called the Force of the Imperial Master(FOI) and released a track called All In Together Now. The track went from Brooklyn, Downtown Staten Island, New York, all the way down to Miami and caught the attention of rapper Biz Markie. They never had a serious record deal under that title. I may be wrong on some of this info but I’m pretty sure the majority of it is correct.
O.m.g this is hip hop gold! Thank you for sharing! Never knew this existed till it popped up in my recommended just now.
my god early wu tang clan this could be the very first demo tape 1992, this is fucking awesome the start of the hip hop wu tang clan hip hop magic, my all time favourtite hip hop band, and this is pure magic the kings of hip hop.
Are thet all still alive
Matthew Riggs one or two i know are not alive anymore, and well and some left so it yeah we still have some of the original members. and wu tang clan is still making music today.
What's even more amazing is this isn't even RZA'S, GZA'S, or ODB'S first album. Before the recording of the 36 chambers, the Wu already had 20+ members. AllahWise(AllahMathematics) designed the "W" this picture is like a first draft. AllahWise would later produce Bronx War Stories in 1994 for the Killa Beez album
noman Chaudhry dude this is the first demo tape in 1992, well before the first album.
Jamie Warrior Warlord McCallum RZA released an album in 1991 called "OOH I love You Rakeem", a track called Sexcapades features RZA and ODB, also one version of the instrumental on said album is called the "Wu-Tang instrumental". GZA had an album the same year entitled "Words from the Genius". This mixtape marks the full joining of the members, but beforehand, RZA, GZA, and ODB, worked together, under WB records, which is who released the latest "A Better Tomorrow".
Nobody--and I mean NOBODY drops it like the Wu.
This was 1st WU logo originally designed by Mathematics
The best shit I've ever herd!!!
PERIOD!!!Even WU TANGS demo r FIRE!Even tho it sounds like They recorded it,On a fisher price my first beat machine!😂
I don't know Who's the Hero that keep it plus uploaded it But Daaaaammn This is the Real MasterPiece!! Thank You!!!!!!!! ...... Gracias!!
22 and just now hearing this underground diamond 💎 true from the dirt 🌆
That's young. You were years from being born when it was made
@@silewis9396 that's true and salute to hip hop and you peace
👐🐝🔥
Imagine listening to this in a hip-hop landscape filled with lazy jazz, soul and funk samples everywhere. Nothing sounded like this back in 1991.
I quite liked those types. Brand Nubian, A Tribe Called Quest etc.
Didn't have to imagine... I was there. Group rap was popular then... You had to be super special to be solo
Lazy Jazz, soul and funk samples?
I had of it's time for 92 nothing sounded like this in 92
@Chris Calzone to the early Wu sound? Ur tripping if thts wht u meant..lol sounds nothing alike.and im a huge GB fan but not as much as the Wu
In the movie "The 36th Chamber of Shaolin", there are 35 chambers which are levels of training in the art of Shaolin Kung fu. The Protagonist wishes to leave the temple and create a 36th Chamber outside of the temple. The 36th Chamber was teach the people. The distinction between the two is important and interesting.
that style is about 20 years ahead of it's time
STRAIGHT RAW! This is that basement sound. Where it all started. Thanks for sharing. SUPER DOPE!!!
The original Wu Symbol.
You can tell they weren't trying to push the whole gangsta image too hard until they were ready to put out the 93 album. This shit has a more classic cypher vibe
Loud Records A&R office was the place to be back then, did promo for them and anything that came in got played...
first beat is "diary of a madmen" - gravediggaz
This is still better than most modern rap abulms.
Correct.
Joe Tavarez that’s a lie
@@Jadlotian no...it's not.
@@Jadlotian foh
This is better than todays shit, but its still Trash.
Thats crazy to hear "diary of a madman" track that early. RZA really on another level
Enormous respect for uploading this! Beautiful early raw version of cuttin headz. Thank you
Rza said a lot of beats we were hearing on 36 Chambers and other solo projects of the Wu are old beats he been did. Those joints are nice and tight as hell tho. Loving this demo from the 1st track and it was bused on the GraveDiggaz 1st album. 👊👊👊👊👊
Fuck yeah Im so glad I stumbled upon this. Wu-Tang is for the children.
Humble beginnings....I love how they perfected their styles and flow. That's why they're vintage and geniuses. WUTANG FOREVER!!!!👐👐👐👐
Shit made me fall in love with Wu all over again. Felt like a kid listening & I’m 32. I was 5 when they put this out. Bobby spazzed on every joint. ✋🏾🤚🏾
Man this this demo is 10 times better than some these trash rappers songs that been mastered down, love it
Y Andre 💯💯💯
This is a lot better a lot of the stuff I hear today
Karaoke machine rhyming days...the nostalgia is heavy with this one!
I'm genuinely lost for words, this is unbelievably good. Thank-you whoever put this up, you should be knighted for services to hip-hop, your a star !...
I KNEW THAT CUTTIN HEADS SONG from ODBs 1995 album was an earlier track. You could tell they were younger on that song. One of my all time favorite Wu tracks ever. They definitely remastered it but I think it might be the original recording of the lyrics. I wish all of Wu Tang in 1992-93 recorded like 5 albums worth of material man.
The original version or Bring Da Ruckus and old unused lyrics and beat is incredible.
There's a sound and groove with 90s beats that cannot be made today. Even with samples.
the rugged equipment, analog. especially the e-mu SP1200 drum, machine/sampler 10 seconds of sample time.
@@TapeFlip Who's doing this?
The 2nd track is rockin'! Love this whole thing thanks for putting it up!
Amazing!!! 17:15 Tearz!
Yo RZA used this beat for Gravediggaz "Diary of a Madman" I'm so glad I heard this. Even this tape kills all new hip-hop
Because besides from few this new shit ain't hip hop. Idc what nobody says Future don't make the same kind of music as Nas or Wu-Tang, which is cool it's just this new shit needs it's own label.
Goddamn. Thanks for posting this. Respect to You and Stellar.
RZA tracks were on a whole new level back in 91/92 killing it, his beats in the early 90's were ahead of their time, think 36 Chambers, return to 36 Chambers, Built for Cuban Linx, Iron man and Tical.
Liquid swordz
Track 3 was Clan in the front by GZA.. After the Laughter is the only track that stayed the same as Tearz
It's 'Cutting Headz' on ODB's album...pretty much the same beat though.
Kristopher Evans except it’s more on tempo and sounds more like they did it live with microphones 💯
I heard a rumor that this was recorded in the trunk of an '86 Pontiac.
Incredible upload.
This is a gem 💎
My sister gave me this when I was a kid. Never forget this dark ass rap. Wu Tang clan ain’t nothing to fuck with
I'm choking on the dust on this!!! How the f%*k you found this, I won't know but we are all so damn grateful for it!!!
This shows how ahead Rza was.. this came out when I was a 4th grader in 1992 & @ that time it was ganksta rap & whoop there it is
They should remaster this
Dr Tre they did on dirty's album
And sell it on Itunes
They did
They did on different albums
sometimes the raw form is the best
I love how I'm how I'm hearing this for the 1st time, and I've been a Wu banger since 93
1st sample later used in Diary of a Madman by Gravediggaz, also produced by RZA
uff sounds like the ol days, makes me remember the time i was 22 years then
true story 1996: i'm walking on university place to my job at a cafe. RZA is standing on the corner, legs spread wide, hands in pockets, actively looking smugly at every passerby (mostly NYU students) to see if they recognize him.
This is WAAAAY better than "Ohhh we love you Rahkeem" lol. Down with the Sound since the beginning!!!
Wu has the grimiest beats of all time. Thank you for uploading this.
The original bring the ruckus beat??? That shit fiyah...I’m dead
"Ohhhh we love you Rakeem. Yeah yeah, aight...." - 😂
*edit* actually I think he said "yeah girl, aight..."
Either way, it was a shot 😂
