Think Differently Music Presents...Wu-Tang Meets The Indie Culture Instrumentals



Coming four years after the retail album that highlighted the Indie Underground's illest emcee's teaming with the Wu's elite and some of their more celebrated affiliates is the "Wu-Tang Meets The Indie Culture Instrumentals".

I won't even begin to lie, I was all over this LP release back in 05' when it first dropped (The actual album, not the instrumentals)...for guys like me who are knee deep in both the underground and the mystique behind Hip-Hop's all time greatest crew/group you just couldn't ask for anything more. I mean it had some of my all-time favorite emcee's on it...Ras Kass, Planet Asia, R.A., Littles, MF Doom, Del, Tragedy.....It was just incredible...Actually went out and copped the CD and The Vinyl....Despite this joint's undeniable illness, I remember a lot of people overlooking it and even needlessly hating....I was stupefied as to why so don't ask, but that's what teh mood was on the net and in a few of my close circles...SMH.... For me, everything from the cover art, to the guest list and actual musical content was damn near perfect....the best comp. in years....

Another really dope aspect of this release originally was the production....Now I walked into the whole situation of coppin' this expecting that the usual names from the Wu camp would handle the beats...ya know, 4th Disciple, Tru Master, Mathematics, Rza and so on and so forth.....yet as I thumbed through the booklet while simoultaneously bumpin the album I was kind of surprised to see that a somewhat new name was handling the majority of the workload and that his output was nothing short of amazing.....This compilation was officially Bronze Nazereth's arrival for me. I had seen his name pop up here and there on things...I believe he did a few joints on Rza's "Birth Of A Prince" LP and I know he was on that Black Market Militia LP.....Still, for the most part up until the "Wu-Tang Meets The Indie Culture" record he was mostly a mystery to me....The Detroit beatsmith couldn't have had a better debut and once again Rza proved he was still sharp in picking new, talented recruits.....grab these instrumentals with the swiftness kids, few producers have put together a more cohesive and consistent beat rundown on a major release in the past 7 or 8 years.....be sure to peep out the extra unreleased track "Cars On The Interstate" that Mathematics did...damn shame it didn't make the final cut....
