Wu Tang Manual

Author(s): RZA

Music

Since the release of the revolutionary Enter the Wu-Tang, this band has been Hip Hop's leading creative force. Over four seminal group albums, and a multitude of ambitious side projects, the Wu-Tang Clan have constantly redefined the outer limits of what Hip Hop can do and where Hip Hop can go. Spearheaded by the RZA, the "Abbot" of the Clan, The Wu-Tang Manual unravels the intricate web of personalities, warrior codes, numerological systems and Eastern spiritual ethics that define the Wu-Tang dynasty. The Wu-Tang Manual also contains the first official and comprehensive lyrical encyclopedia of the Wu-Tang, complete with musical, technical and anecdotal analysis and annotation by the Clan.
