I used to just have 36 Chambers in my CD player in my car when i first got my license. I never took it out, i love that album. Never really went past that for Wu Tang Clan. Always told myself i would check other stuff out. I guess there's still some time.
Dr Octogon (and a few of KKs odd ball incarnations) and Del TFH were the ones i listened to most.
i never got into Wu or a lot of the others. i liked hip hop on the surface, but not really a fan of rap. and yes, there is a difference.
. Ha! Dr. Octogonecologyst lol . You may be the only other person on earth I have met that knows Dr. Octogon... Other than the guys I used to skate with. That was some funky stuff. 3000!

I've gotten back into rap lately, but I've been listening to older stuff like NWA and Public Enemy. I thought I had outgrown rap, but it just turns out most newer rap sucks.

I know all about that album. I originally heard Blue Flowers on some random underground hip hop radio show that I think was broadcast out of Santa Barbara in the late 90's. They played a lot of dope stuff, & helped me explore the underground side of hip hop more. I eventually found an instruemental version of Octagonecologist, but then was able to special order the album from a tiny record shop near me(along with other underground stuff). Later I found out about places like Fat Beats & Aron's down in Hollywierd & was buying all kinds of offbeat un-commercial stuff. Unfortunately for Kool Keith, Dr Octagon was the only album of his that I really liked. That Black Elvis album was alright IIRC, I'll have to listen to that one again.

All this talk about Octagons reminds me of ANGLE DANCE:
You guys are into some bizarre sh$t, like me? Awesome.

I have been listening to the above list all night and it's been really good stuff. I haven't spent a lot of time listening to hip hop, but I'm glad you made this list. :D

Wow, I came across this thread and had to same something. Wu-tang is definitely one of my top rap groups of all time. I have just about every album made by them and the individual artists. My favorite song is the art of chessboxing. The ODB God rest his soul was the illest. "Brooklyn Zoo". Along with the turbo grafx they remind me of my so missed teen years.

There is still good stuff out there. Just gotta dig for it due to all the piles of crap on top. Del has to be one of my favorite rappers. I saw him a few months ago live, and it was pretty great.

With the Wu, I originally was a Method Man fan BITD, but I switched around a bit over the years. I became a Rza fan for awhile, & even a U-god fan(love that baritone voice, always wanted to hear him team up with Chali 2na, Xzibit & Nine for an album). Ultimately, I've become a Gza fan, along with Inspectah Deck, they're the most consistent in quality along with Masta Killa. I'd love for Gza to release a new album, it's taking him forever! Inspectah Deck has a nice new album under the moniker of Czarface.
Here's some more dope tracks for your listening pleasure:
