Has there been a thread about this yet? And could they really not come up with a better title?

Yeah the title is really terrible.

10 years old at that.

There's some good stuff on there. It's Killah Priest, I believe.

― Cristal Waters (nordicskilla), Thursday, 22 September 2005 20:23 (twenty-one years ago)

btw gygax, the "indie" in this context is indie rap.

― Cristal Waters (nordicskilla), Thursday, 22 September 2005 20:25 (twenty-one years ago)

woah thanks, i had no idea! you're like the Ruben Fleischer of thread descriptions!

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 22 September 2005 20:26 (twenty-one years ago)

whatever.

― Cristal Waters (nordicskilla), Thursday, 22 September 2005 20:26 (twenty-one years ago)

DAMN I thought they met the Shins or something.

Liz Phair doing backing vocals on a posthumous ODB track?

― Cunga (Cunga), Thursday, 22 September 2005 20:31 (twenty-one years ago)

If I'm reading the interview right, it's all Wu beats?

― Lukas (lukas), Thursday, 22 September 2005 20:32 (twenty-one years ago)

As far as the title goes ... at least it gets the point across. It's a crowded market out there, need to get your message out.

― Lukas (lukas), Thursday, 22 September 2005 20:40 (twenty-one years ago)

If I'm reading the interview right, it's all Wu beats?

But only one RZA beat.

― Jordan (Jordan), Thursday, 22 September 2005 20:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Flap Your Wings Say Wu

― donut Get Behind Me Carbon Dioxide (donut), Thursday, 22 September 2005 20:50 (twenty-one years ago)

That title is great. It reminds me of classic dub album titles like "SCIENTIST MEETS THE SPACE INVADERS" or "SCIENTIST ENCOUNTERS PAC-MAN"

Wu Tang Rids the World of the Evil Curse of the Indie Culture

"Biochemical Equation" single streaming at hiphopdx.com, and it ruuuuules.

four years pass...

Frank Radio and iHipHop Distribution are proud to announce the highly anticipated follow-up to 2005's "Wu-Tang Meets The Indie Culture Vol. 1." On November 10th, the newest and freshest sounds in underground electronic music encounter the grimiest and most hardcore hip-hop click in this one-of-a-kind album: "Wu-Tang Meets The Indie Culture Vol. 2: Enter The Dubstep."

As Vol. 1 sought to introduce hip-hop fans in general, and specifically, the famously large, loyal and diverse fan-base of the Wu-Tang to the burgeoning world of underground hip-hop, so Vol. 2 seeks to expose another untapped resource of underground talent, skill and artistry to this very same avid and intrepid fan-base.

The project serves a double purpose as well: many of the pioneers and practitioners (DJ's and producers) in the Dubstep world came up in a time when Wu-Tang ruled the international airwaves. Unlike much commercial hip-hop, the immediacy of Wu-Tang's sound spoke to many outside of the scope of the typical hip-hop fan, across oceans and at home. Their music and style helped to shape an emerging artform that hadn't yet defined itself. Now, in 2009, as dubstep continues to grow, expand and encompass more styles and subgenres, the Wu-Tang sound is reintroduced into the mix, to spawn a new and unique musical crossbreeding, that is greater than the sum of its constituent parts.

This groundbreaking album is trail-blazing the collaboration between Dubstep and Hip-Hop, with stomach-pounding, bass-thumping guttural beats, and gully, gritty and grimy lyrics that break into the next decade in the chapters of each respective genre's history. With Scuba, Parson, Trillbass, Dakimh, DZ, Rogue Star, Stenchman, Datsik & many more producing not remixes, but complex re-interpollations that include a veritable goldmine of Wu-Tang verses from the vaults that feature Raekwon, Ghostface Killa, RZA, GZA, Method Man, U-God & Masta Killa, Wu affiliates Killah Priest, Bronze Nazareth, Prodigal Sunn, Solomon Childs, Son One & more, and guest spots from Busta Rhymes, MF Doom, Pimp C, Three 6 Mafia, Ras Kass, Vast Aire, Canibus, Lord Jamar & many more, this one of a kind compilation is at the forefront of an emerging cultural and musical blend that is taking place on the margins of the mainstream, but will be talked about for years to come....

i want to hate on this but "deep space" is kinda rad

― moonship journey to baja, Sunday, 15 November 2009 22:30 (sixteen years ago)

i know this is probably the ethan p line on this but it does kinda argue for the "this genre should just be rap beats" thing doesnt it

― hoos-kingofthedrugs (deej), Sunday, 15 November 2009 22:53 (sixteen years ago)

― freek-a-leekanomics (Whiney G. Weingarten), Monday, 16 November 2009 01:18 (sixteen years ago)

lmao

― hoos-kingofthedrugs (deej), Monday, 16 November 2009 01:48 (sixteen years ago)

I pack boss clout, sucker mcs get Washed Out and tossed out
As i throw the vocal Javelins that cause a hasty unravelin
My rep ain't Small, Black, so you better fall back,
As my Memory Cassettes dub over your wack raps
Fuck sales, I'd rather go chill with Ducktails
Cruise off in my Big Pink sedan and puff Ls
Wu-tang forever roll with indie and
I chop you down and shine like I'm a Neon Indian
Peace

Didn't Wu-Tang Clan actually invent dubstep on "Careful (Click, Click)"?

― Tuomas, Monday, 16 November 2009 10:01 (sixteen years ago)

haha good call

― estebutt bannez (The Reverend), Monday, 16 November 2009 14:26 (sixteen years ago)

i saw an ad for this and hoped to continue pretending it didn't exist

― Nanobots: HOOSTEEND (BIG HOOS aka the steendriver), Monday, 16 November 2009 14:37 (sixteen years ago)

Haven't listened yet, not sure if this is more or less jolting than seeing the Bomb Squad open for PE and realizing the Shocklee brothers were playing mostly dubstep.
