The Wu Tang Clan

Today we listened to the Wu-Tang Clan's first album. A question came up that was "What is the difference between Wu-Tang Clan and NWA's music?" We talked about it for a little while and the ultimate answer was that the Wu-Tang Clan had more aspects of jazz and they rapped more slowly, while NWA had more aspects of funk in their beats, rapped with an angrier sound, and rapped more quickly. The Wu-Tang Clan was more dangerous than NWA because they said some worse things, and they actually carried out the things that they talked about. One thing that I liked a lot about the Wu-Tang Clan, was that they had a lot of euphemisms. They were really good lyricists and I thought that added a lot to their music if you listened well. I also liked that there were many members of the group, so there were many interesting stories being told and many different voices, so that the listeners wouldn't be bored. I though that was very strategic from the label. Overall, I liked the Wu-Tang Clan because they never made me bored, they had good beats, and they had great lyrics.
