Wu-Tang and ATCQ Albums Turn 20

20 Years

On November 9th 1993, arguably two of Hip Hop's most loved and classic albums were released by A Tribe Called Quest and the Wu-Tang Clan. There shouldn't be a discussion over which is the better body of work as the two are completely different but they both still hold a sound that we yearn to hear today. Everyone has their favourite albums and these will almost always be brought in to the conversation.

Check below for a selection of videos from both albums. 

Roc Marciano - The Sacrifice (Video)

Roc Marci is definitely in pimp mode currently. Today he dropped the first video from his "The Pimpire Strikes Back" project, which you can get here. He shows his not so gentle side on the Madlib produced "The Sacrifice".

RIP Heavy D

Today marks the second anniversary of the passing of Heavy D. Nuthin' but love!

Slaughterhouse & Eminem on BET's The Backroom (Video)

Slaughterhouse and Eminem dropped verses for BET's "The Backroom" yesterday.

Rhythm Roulette with Marco Polo (Video)

Once again with have a Marco Polo feature. This time he's the next to show his skills on Mass Appeal's "Rhythm Roulette".

Marco Polo - West Coast Love feat. MC Eiht, King Tee & DJ Revolution (Audio)

To say I'm looking forward to Marco Polo's upcoming LP is a bit of an understatement. He continues to drop heat with this track featuring MC Eiht and King Tee. DJ Revolution supplies the scratches.

Fashawn - The Beginning (Video)

Fashawn drops the first video from his upcoming album "The Ecology". This track is produced by Evidence of Dilated Peoples and as usual the two come together for a great record.

Eminem - Don't Front feat. Buckshot (Audio)

Yep, another Eminem post. Sorry but this had to be added. The full version of Slim on the classic Black Moon track. Unfortunately "Don't Front" doesn't have a Buckshot verse. He's only the chorus. An album from Eminem with more production like this please. To think, Duck Down nearly signed him in the 90's.

Emilio Rojas - No Shame...No Regrets (Video)

Emilio Rojas drops a one take video for the title track of his album "No Shame...No Regrets". He kind of gets a lot off his chest in this one and mentions having a meeting scheduled with Chris Lighty the day he passed. If Baby Chris was meeting with him, that should tell you the type of potential Emilio Rojas had/has.

7 Days Of Funk (Snoopzilla & Dam-Funk) - Faden Away (Video)

Here we get our first look (and listen) at Snoop's new music in collaboration with Stones Throw producer Dam-Funk. The result for "Faden Away" is, well, funky. Look for their "7 Days Of Funk" project to be on its way December 10th.

Mathematics - Shorty / Four Horsemen (Video)

Wu-Tang's long time producer Mathematics drops a two in one video for a couple of tracks from his album "The Answer". The first half of the video features Cappadonna and Masta Killa on "Shorty", then the second half is for the track "Four Horsemen" which has verses from Inspectah Deck and Method Man. The full version of the track also features verses from Raekwon and Ghostface.

Check the video below.
