On Day 26 of our January Month of Samples we still have more Wu-Tang sets to unload. This time, we’re hittin up the debut album of Wu-Tang member Masta Killa. Released in 2004, No Said Date has a sound reminiscent of Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), with its dark and dramatic beats and samples from martial arts films. The album also features all nine of the original Wu-Tang Clan members.

oooooohhhh mmmyyyy goooood i never thought you’d post that one day daaaaaammmmn!!! no sampling for the “masta killa” track !? well maybe bruce lee’s vocals but anyway I grab dat!!!
Yo Thomas ya killing em. IMO this album and 1 by cilvaringz is one of the last fully Wu vibe albums to drop ( clan appearances, wu elements on production, kung fu skits etc )
On point fam, on point.
yesssssir!
Glad you like….glad you like
Toyko I would agree with you regarding the “Wu vibe”….but the album was about 6-7 years to late. “Secret Rivals” was out like 99-00…or at least the instrumental.
