(PLEASE SEE THE IMAGE OF THE COVER, LABEL OR BOTH, SHOWN BELOW) (Note: this is a REAL image of the ACTUAL item you are bidding on. This is NOT a "recycled" image from our previous auction. What you see is what you’ll get.  GUARANTEED!) This album, apart from its nostalgic value that it holds with many fans of the early 90's NYC-come-east-coast-hip-hop sound is a pure classic thrown on the scene from the Wu dynasty. Lyrically, the playful, carefree and crude ODB slices it up on his first album, serving an array of harsh, honest lyrics with almost a battle theme to them, and yet at the same time maintaining the essential crude raw style that defined him. If he was to play a character in a old school kung fu movie, he would be the drunken, self indulgent and womanising master, seemingly harmless unless provoked. Production on this album was, naturally, done by the RZA. Providing the similar eerie and melodic beats of previous solo Wu work, with samples ranging from Kung Fu Movies to old jazz and blues records. The guest appearences are of a stellar selection: Method Man, Raekwon, Killa Priest, Masta Killa, Zu Keeper, Buddha Monk and Prodigal Sunn, making this album an all star cast and representing brooklyn on the grandest of scales. (EXCERPT FROM AN ANONYMOUS ONLINE REVIEW) · CONDITION: · THE RECORDS: (IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight) (a) WE GRADE THE VINYL AS STRONG VG++. A few light abrasions  ARE VISIBLE, but they appear fairly  insignificant relative to the overall condition of the vinyl, and are only moderately visually distracting. For most part, the vinyl looks impeccable, without any MAJOR visual flaws or imperfections. Much of the original luster is intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new. (b) The records come in their original  (all-black), custom, inner sleeves, which are UNIQUE to this album (c) The album comes with the original single page album insert (d) The records are pressed on a RELATIVELY  thick, inflexible vinyl. This is NOT a thin, flimsy ('dynaflex' type),  vinyl, but not the thickest, most rigid vinyl, either. · THE COVER COVER IS NEAR MINT, STILL IN ITS ORIGINAL SHRINK WRAP The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover: - Cover has a minor 'bump' (1/2" tear) on the opening side  (VISIBLE ON FRONT SIDE ONLY) - Cover has a visible "wrinkle"(crease)  in one of the corners. - Cover has a few tiny wrinkles along the seams NO OTHER VISIBLE FLAWS OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE  COVER POSTAGE & SHIPPING: We offer THREE postage rates for both Domestic and International Mail: Media Mail, Priority Mail and Express Mail for domestic, and First Class, Priority International Mail, and Express International Mail for international orders.
