The best part about this album is that every word said is worth being said and is set up to be heard. The end product is something that's banging, but soft enough to feature the lyrics. Rza's beats on this album are a marriage of old samples and extra add-ins, like snaps and choruses of the ODB (as he was still known at this time) singing out gibberish. This album is the true epiphany of great beats mixed with some of the most intelligent street rhymes ever spat. From the first time you hear those intercut samples from kung-fu movies and the Rza's beats with "Bring tha motherfuckin' ruckus!" shouted over it, 36 Chambers becomes musical heroin. This album is hands down cemented permanently in my Top Ten records of ever.
