Q: What
is your criteria for listing Wu-Tang albums?
A: It must be released or promoted as either a full album or
an EP, and needs to have been released on CD (the Wu-Tang Clan
and Gravediggaz Demo Tapes are the only exceptions). I won't
list "vinyl only" albums as they are out of the reach
of most people. CD-R's and MP3 exclusive albums I will accept
also, provided they are complete releases.
Demos and Promotional albums are not listed. The only exceptions
I made were for the two Deadly Venoms albums, because they were
both completed and only label problems prevented their release.
Q: Why
do you still list albums by artists who are no longer part of
the Wu?
A: I like to think of my website as a "Wu-Tang Legacy"
site, where you can find everything by anyone who was at once
part of the Wu. I list their post-Wu albums out of pure interest
because as a fan, I'd still like to collect as much of their
material as possible.
Anyone who follows hip hop will know that crews often reunite
after years of dispute. The same can be said about Wu-Tang artists.
Just wait and see.
Q: Why
don't you list Stetsasonic's third LP "Blood, Sweat &
No Tears?"
A: Because by this time Frukwan was no longer a member
of this group. Hence there was no Wu involvement remaining.
Q: Where
can I buy the Warcloud albums?
A: They're no longer available. I don't know where you can download
them either.
Q: Where
can I buy 1.4.0. Productions' albums?
A: Send a US money order (or an international money order if
you're non-American) or simply send cash, to the amount of $15
US (includes shipping worldwide). Remember to include your name,
mailing details, and the album name to:
1.4.0.
Productions (Shortre)
124 Lexington Ave.
Staten Island, NY 10302
USA
Or email him
on Othorizedfam140@aol.com.
I have ordered from 1.4.0. personally and have had no problems.

Q: Does
KGB's "The Final Cut" EP exist?
A: In my opinion, No. Usually even the rarest of rare songs
will be leaked in one form or another. Until I hear a track
from this EP, I will assume it doesn't exist.
Q: Does
Dreddy Kruger's "Nightmare In Hell" album exist?
A: No. It seems like someone made the whole thing up a long
time ago and is something which has lingered around since.
Q: Does
Killah Priest's "Forth He Shall Come" and Sunz Of
Man's "Nuthin' New Under The Sun" albums exist?
A: Like many others, I was conned in to sending $40 US for both
these albums and to date I have received nothing. While a few
singles from these "so-called" albums have been leaked,
it's been revealed that the albums themselves are nothing more
than a scam.
Q: Does
Killah Priest's "Welcome" EP exist on CD?
A: No. Someone fabricated an online scheme which claimed to
offer this EP in CD format with a bonus track. The whole thing
of course was fake. To date, "Welcome" is only available
in vinyl format through "Oplus Records".
Q: Why
don't you list Prince Rakeen (RZA)'s "Ooh We Love You Rakeem"
on your Albums page?
A: This is not a proper album. Granted, it has many tracks.
But there's only 3 unique songs, the rest being remixes. It's
actually classed as an "extended" single anyway.
Q: Why
don't you list the DJ Spooky/Killah Priest's "Catechism"
release on your Albums page?
A: Same reason as above.
Q: Why
don't you list United Kingdom's "United Kings" release
on your Albums page?
A: Same reason as above. Incorrectly billed as an EP.
Q: Why
don't you list Shabazz The Disciple's "Take Your Time (EP)"
on your Albums page?
A: Although being released in much the same circumstance as
"The First Testament", this EP was a demo only (confirmed
by Shabazz himself). Demos don't quite meet my criteria.
Q: Why
don't you list the COINS EP on your Albums page?
A: Because I can't confirm whether this was a demo or promotional
release. As such, refer to the question detailing how I list
albums (above).
