Thirty-three years ago today — November 9, 1993 — hip-hop history was made twice in one day. Wu-Tang Clan dropped Enter the 36 Chambers and A Tribe Called Quest dropped Midnight Marauders, two albums that didn't just define an era, they rewired the whole sound of the culture.
I've been living with both of these records since day one, and I always knew they belonged together. The grit and raw energy of Shaolin meets the smooth, jazzy bounce of Tribe — it just fits. So I went in and mashed them up, track for track, vibe for vibe, into something brand new.
I call it "A Tribe Called WU," and it's up on YouTube right now. Press play, turn it up, and let the Clan and Tribe rock together the way they were always meant to. This one is for the real heads — happy 33rd anniversary to two of the greatest albums ever made.
