Wu Bonus
As far as I'm concerned, beyond those key Wu LPs these would have to be the best Wu bits and pieces. Kodwo hipped me to both the Sunz of Man twelve inch and the Killah Priest which he described as "Gnostic Hip-Hop". That's a record I picked up in NYC when I visited as blogging eminence about 4 years ago- back in the day, sighs!
The Mary J Blige/Method Man is quite a healthy antidote to Wu Tang's lack of estrogen. However the hilarious N Tyce twelve inch, dealing with her cheating behind her boyfriend's back, (which pre-dates all the famous Wu material but is still blessed with the RZA's signature sound) is also sexually complicated in an interesting way.
The Ghost Dog CD, an import which differs from the inferior standard film soundtrack is another must-have. The RZA instrumentals, which are the highlight of the movie, are reproduced here in all their glory.
