Flashback Friday: Kut Klose and The Wu-Tang Clan

We’re just a couple of days away from bidding farewell to 2011. Before y’all go out and get crazy tomorrow night (don’t call me looking for bail), play these albums in preparation for the new year.


Our girl Kimberly Jackson knows how to get on my good side. She nominates one of my favorites.

Kut Klose, Surrender (1995)


Kim said: “This CD was a fave of mine because these three ladies came from nowhere and just blew me away. With the title song “Surrender” and my fave “Get Up On It” with Keith Sweat, those songs made me wanna fall in love even though I was just 17. Other songs I fell in love with were “I Like” and “Lovely Thang.””

Edward reintroduces the most infamous crew in hip hop.

The Wu-Tang Clan, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) (1993)


Edd said: “In the early 90s, there were a handful of albums that turned me from casual rap fan to permanent hip hop junkie. Blame the Wu for my obsession. They blew my mind because there was absolutely nothing like them at the time (or since, really). A gang of dudes off the corner pretending to be ninjas? Sign me up. I also loved that each member of the original nine-member crew had a distinct sound. Every time ODB or Method Man or GZA took center stage, you knew exactly who it was. 36 Chambers is a classic album from a classic crew.”
