Wu-Tang vs The Beatles: Enter The Magical Mystery Chamber
- story Peter Macia
We know we know, but this is actually pretty decent. It won’t induce the same media frenzy as The Grey Album but that probably shouldn’t have caused that media frenzy in the first place, just sayin. Some fellow named Tom Caruana took Wu-cappelas from various group and solo albums and put them over new productions made vaguely from Beatles samples and Beatles covers samples and some shit that couldn’t possibly be Beatles samples but must be. Thankfully, his pilfering of Liverpool’s finest is barely recognizable, except for Ghost’s “Mighty Healthy” which is now Pretty Toney rapping directly over Paul’s singing (kind of awesome) and dirty skank. If anything, Caruana holds pretty true to RZA and co.’s original mood, if not making Shaolin sound a whole helluva lot more awesome than it actually is.
UPDATE: If you don’t know who The Beatles are, here are some helpful charts.

These don’t seem to be real samples though, which would make it a lot better. Im eh on this.

The music is pretty good and fits the style of the WU. However, IMO the little skits from Beatles interviews etc is a bit cheesey, contrived and obnoxious and the albums status would be cooler without it.

funny how track 24 (samples “you’ve really got a hold on me” by she and him) has nothing to do with the beatles.

just cause i adore music and also want to be a dj without having to do school over again (???!) someday and tell people random shit like this simoniz: she & him covered that song from smokey robinson & the miracles in 1962 some other bands that covered the same song were the temptations, supremes & the beatles. but z’s voice really does make it her own doesn’t it??

I would like to point out that most of you are retarded or have terrible taste in music. This album is PURE FIRE… he even managed to make the Beatles listenable.
Wu Tang 4ever, wreckognize punx.

Just to reiterate imtrailing’s point: “”You Really Got a Hold on Me” [sic] was the first track recorded for The Beatles’ second UK LP, With The Beatles, and features John Lennon on lead vocal with George Harrison on close harmony.” Inspectah Deck on City High is really chill, and I don’t really mind the interviews, but there are a lot of them, so I could see them getting on someone’s nerves.

[...] Wu-Tang meets Indie Culture Vol 2. tho maybe not as good as the new (surprisingly good) mashup Wu-Tang vs The Beatles, which proves that well-composed art is more important than a novel [...]

The whole project is dope. personal faves….track 4 “Forget me not” and the smith bros. joint is rediculous. never heard of Tom Caruana but him and RZA should have a sit down and do something together.
