This sampler contains snippets of a lot of songs that no one had heard up to that point plus various members talking over instrumentals. Metallic silver & black Wu-Tang Forever promo/sampler cassette: They played this whole promo cassette on Power 99 in Philly one night almost a month before the album dropped and I just happened to be in front of my deck ready to record. You waited 5 minutes for one picture to load.

All the website was capable of back then was pictures & text. I remember going on during computer class in school while everyone else was searching pictures of cats and shit lol. Oh, the early days of the rap internet lol.

I love this sticker because it has the original, , & websites on it. one night, they had a stack at the counter. Wu-Tang Forever promo sticker: Grabbed this at the Wu-Wear store in Philly while I was down on South St.

The store was actually a little disappointing tbh, all they had were a few different generic Wu-Wear tees, none of the cool shit you saw them wearing at the time. Wu-Tang Forever was a big part of my life that summer, below are some of the stories behind the items pictured above:īlack & white Wu-Tang Forever promo photo: Took a trip up to NY and stopped at the original Wu-Wear store at 61 Victory in Staten Island and copped a few shirts along with this promo photo they had at the counter. Wu-Wear, The Source cover, the million dollar rap video, the Rage tour, MTV darlings. By 1997, everyone was a Wu-Tang fan and the album was their most commercially successful. The anticipation for this album could not have been any higher. Deck on 'Triumph', Ghost on 'Impossible', GZA on 'Severe Punishment', RZA on 'Duck Seazon', every Meth verse, etc. A variety of reasons led to the change in production, but there's no denying this album has some of the best bars each member has ever laid down. Wu-Tang Forever was a much more mature Clan album than all of the previous Wu releases. Sure it could've been cut down, but as the biggest Wu fan in 1997, I would take as much music as you could possibly feed me at that time so I didn't mind the length at all.

Everyone has opinions & critiques about this album but I loved it. I'm not going to talk about the music too much but more about some of the cool items above. Wu-Tang Clan released their long awaited double album Wu-Tang Forever 24 years ago today on June 3rd, 1997.
