WuTang X ATCQ = A Clan Called Wu - Enter The Marauders MIX
November 9, 1993 will forever go down as one of the greatest days in hip hop history. Two of the genre’s most revered albums dropped on the same day: Wu-Tang Clan’s debut ‘Enter The 36 Chambers’, & A Tribe Called Quest’s third LP ‘Midnight Marauders’. I remember riding my bike to the mall, with money I had earned from my after-school job. I had anticipated this day for awhile, and saved up in advance to pick up both CD’s (at that age $40 felt like $500). For the months that followed, both albums fought for playing time on my single-disc CD player. One moment, I was transported to the boulevard of Linden, and the next to the rugged streets of Shaolin. Those albums stayed in my rotation forever (literally).
To mark the 25th anniversary of both LP’s, I thought it might be a good idea to try and take the vocals from Wu-Tang’s album, and blend them over the instrumentals from Midnight Marauders. I wasn’t sure it would work at first, but as is usually the case, inspiration hit at midnight when I was trying to sleep (the coincidence of the timing is not lost on me). A couple of hours later, I managed to pair up every single Wu-Tang vocal with a suitable beat from MM. The intent was not to improve on the originals in any way….that would be impossible, as I consider them both to be perfect bodies of work. Rather, it was about orchestrating a fun concept, and putting a totally new spin on these well-worn classics. The contrast of Wu’s gritty street raps over Tribe’s jazzy production works in an unexpected way. Now, I present to you my personal tribute to these legendary groups: A Clan Called Wu “Enter The Marauders”.

I already shared it on my Facebook page, and I just finished listening to it. It's an end-to-end burner. Classic material. Q-Tip and RZA need to jam to this.djfilthyrich wrote:Mindbender Futurama wrote:I fucks with this so much. Amazing idea, amazing work.

I'll actually have a deluxe version available for purchase shortly with 2 (possibly 3) bonus tracks. I MAY also look into extending some of the tracks to feature more verses. One thing I realized when making this though.....Enter the 36 is a lot shorter than I realized. Once I cut out all of the intros and interludes, it paired down to about 45 something minutes (That might also include the remix of 7th Chamber). That's before I cut out verses. Thanks for the share, and if you're interested in purchasing the deluxe version, just DM meMindbender Futurama wrote:I already shared it on my Facebook page, and I just finished listening to it.

This mix is killing it though - over 6K plays on Mixcloud in the first 24 hours are good numbers man, well done.

This mix made a lot of things possible that I couldn't crack before, like being featured on Okayplayer and 2dopeboyz (after trying for ages), Miss Info, etc.....but the one thing that stood out to me was getting the co-sign from Preemo!
