I've heard the album 36 Chambers and it's easily one of my favorites but I was wondering if anyone here knows if they have any other amazing albums like this one. It could be the whole clan or any of the individual members' albums. I have heard Only Built 4 Cuban Linx but I want to know if they have any more great material because I got hooked on them.

Also can you suggest other rappers with a similar sound?

If you like Cypress Hill, you might like the Psycho Realm.

Cypress Hill and Wu-Tang Clan had a piece together as Soul Assassins. So you might give that a try.

And anything by de la soul.

I've heard Entroducing and it's pretty good and I've heard almost everything MF Doom has done. Dr. Octagonecologyst is a great album so thanks for that even though it doesn't really remind me of the Wu-Tang sound

I also really like the albums by De La Soul that I checked out, especially 3 feet Higher and Rising

Redman and Method Man both have solo albums that are good. It's been years since I've listened to them, but I remember them being awesome.

Their greatest hits is Best of Rza I do believe...

Wu-Tang Clan is awesome. Wu World Order. A shame Ol' Dirty Bastard is dead though.

I really liked their new album. It wasn't the greatest, but it was a new Wu-Tang CD so it was awesome. Redmans latest CD was also really good.

You should check out Army of the Pharaohs (AOTP). It's pretty similar to Wu-Tang seeing how there's like 10 guys in it. Including but not limited to: Jedi Mind Tricks, 7L & Esoteric, RA the Rugged Man, Celph Titled, Outerspace, and everyone else that's awesome.

Try to catch them in concert. They put on a good show. I caught them at Bumbershoot in September. People were going fucking crazy and people were smoking weed everywhere. Just take a look at this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jyf9ezfEU1k). Never seen a crowd so pumped.

As far as bands that sound alike check out N.W.A. (I recommend the album Straight Outta Compton), Geto Boys, Lost Boyz and The Luniz.

Wu Tang Clan, also known as WTC also known as World Trade Center. Have only been in my life as figure of something being funny. I listen to WTC like every day though. So its hard to tell if their good or not.

No rap album will ever surpass Illmatic in my opinion, especially not that.

Army of Pharaohs is pretty cool and it features plenty of rappers I already listen to. This is closer to that rough Wu-Tang sound I was looking for especially with Jedi Mind Tricks being part of it.
