There is a good clean version

zhvugnah

The first track has bleeps, but the tracks that have kung fu sound effects in place of the cursing are pretty cool. Obviously not as good as the original, but worth an entertaining listen. Not worth 12 credits, though. Pick a song or two that you like and listen to a ridiculous version.

This is the most hilarious thing I think I've ever seen... I want this to LOL at with friends, but why 12 credits?

Comeback Kids: The 10 Best Musical Resurrections

By Arye Dworken, eMusic Contributor

Remember that band you loved that broke up? Well, next year, they're playing Coachella. We live in an age when band reunions are bordering on passé, which can obscure the fact that a well-executed comeback is often difficult to come by. Take Limp Bizkit. That once incredibly popular band released an album this year that you probably had had no idea existed. Or on a somewhat more credible note, Duran Duran reunited and recruited famed… more »

Active Child Talks Classic Hip-Hop

By Hua Hsu, eMusic Contributor

With his strident falsetto and taste for grandiose, imposing production, it is easy to hear the influence of Pat Grossi's training as a choir singer on his debut album, You Are All I See. What might be less obvious is the influence of 1990s hip-hop, a moment Grossi witnessed firsthand as the son of Priority Records' Vice President of Sales. "(My dad) was the one who was somewhat wheeling and dealing the albums out," Grossi… more »

Icon: Wu-Tang Clan

By Hua Hsu, eMusic Contributor

About halfway through their game-changing 1993 debut, Enter the Wu-Tang, a radio interviewer asks Method Man, Raekwon and Ghostface about the Clan's "ultimate goal." They jockey for the privilege to answer. "Can I say this one?" Rae thirstily begs, before Meth offers a simple "domination." "This is longevity right here," Ghost cuts in. "We gon 'keep it raw." Mission: accomplished. From their Staten Island-as-Shaolin self-mythologizing to their inventive business model - separate solo deals under the… more »

Six Degrees of Illmatic

By Jayson Greene, International Editor

It used to be easier to pretend that an album was its own perfectly self-contained artifact. The great records certainly feel that way. But albums are more permeable than solid, their motivations, executions and inspirations informed by, and often stolen from, their peers and forbearers. It all sounds awfully formal, but it's not. It's the very nature of music — of art, even. The Six Degrees features examine the relationships between classic records and five… more »

The Wu-Tang Clan’s debut album Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) wasn’t an across-the-boards blockbuster like Dr. Dre’s The Chronic, the other seminal hip-hop record of the early ’90s, but its impact was just as widespread. Where Dr. Dre was loose, hedonistic, and funky, the Wu-Tang was tense, scary, and funny. Enter the Wu-Tang is a series of intense, surrealistic soundscapes that draw equally from pop culture, martial arts, and gangsta traditions. Other hardcore gangstas simply boasted about their hardness — the Wu-Tang clan boasted, but they supported their inventive rhymes with stripped-down samples and lean, menacing beats that evoked their gritty, urban surroundings more effectively than their words. And that’s what makes Enter the Wu-Tang so effective — the group’s unique lyrical obsessions and the distinctive, innovative production techniques of Prince Rakeem. After releasing this pioneering debut, all the members pursued solo careers that explored various elements of Enter the Wu-Tang in more depth — and, occasionally, with more effective results — but this contains the roots of everything that followed. [Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) was also released in a "clean" edition, containing no profanities or vulgarities.] – Stephen Thomas Erlewine
