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 Ali Shaheed’s jazzy production works in a pleasantly unexpected way. Now, I present to you my personal tribute to these legendary groups: A Clan Called Wu “Enter The Marauders”.
Special shout out to my homie Dirtdog for the front cover (the less-impressive back cover was done by me ), and to Step One who gave me the inspiration to weave the Sucka Nigga phrase with Shame On A Nigga
"It's been a quarter of a century since Wu-Tang Clan dropped Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers and A Tribe Called Quest released Midnight Marauders. To commemorate this date back in 1993, DJ Filthy Rich releases the super dope blend tape "Enter The Marauders." This is a must listen." - DJ Premier (Facebook)

Download link for the DELUXE VERSION will be available soon for purchase. DM for details. The deluxe version contains 2 extra bonus tracks not found on the version I released to the public. Also, the tracks will be separated and labeled instead of 1 long file, and it will be in high-quality audio (the streaming version was only encoded at 128, and further compressed by Soundcloud & Mixcloud's compression algorithms). Plus, you'd be supporting your friendly neighborhood DJ, and ensuring I take the time to make more mixes like these in the future.

tbh, this mixtape is executed well but wu guys rappin over tribe beats just don't fit ... to me, it sounds kinda constrained ... all the ruggedness that made "36 chambers" an exceptional album is missing on these blends...

The idea was not to find similar gritty beats.

1) combine these 2 because they were released on the same day 25 years ago [hence, the concept]
2) combine them because it's the contrast that makes this interesting
The contrast of their rhymes on these softer beats gives their lyrics a new take (multiple ppl actually came and told me that these beats brought out some of the lyrics a bit better). Remember, I'm not trying to replace the originals....just give them a different feel. If ppl want rugged, they can always go back to 36 Chambers

@djfilthyrich I know you usually don't make your mixes available for download but I'd love to have a high quality mp3.
