basic instructions before leaving earth

I am not going to pretend to know a whole lot about Wu-Tang, other than that their output especially during the 1990's was impressive and influential. RZA set the standard for hip-hip production, took part in many side projects including the Gravediggaz, who I have posted on previously. His razor-sharp production along with GZA's lyrics that are intelligent, "The white image of Christ is really Cesare Borgia/N' uh, the second son of Pope Alexander," and funny, " Lyrics are weak, like clock radio speakers." This all adds up to an incredibly well-put together album replete with crazy kung-fu movie quotes. If someone didn't know hip-hop, I wouldn't think twice about suggesting this classic album. The mp3 posted is the last track on the album, and for record consisting of a mostly dark atmosphere, it makes for a sweet ending
