#27 Wu-Tang Clan, 'Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)' (1993)

We’ve seen multiple entries from the various solo members of Wu-Tang Clan, we now have the group’s debut, making a major leap into the Top 30 from the bottom 300s. Drawing its title from the martial arts films, ‘Enter The Dragon’ and ‘The 36th Chamber Of Shaolin,’ this record served as the blueprint for much of the hardcore Hip Hop that would follow throughout the ‘90s. Artists like Nas, Jay-Z, The Notorious B.I.G. and Mobb Deep would look to this release as inspiration for their own work.
