Wu-Tang Clan’s sophomore album Wu-Tang Forever was released on June 3, 1997, and it spread across the globe like a swarm of Killa Bees, topping the charts in both America and Europe.
After releasing four critically acclaimed Wu-Tang solo albums, the world was primed and eager for the release of the follow-up to Enter The Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers.
They kicked off the promotion for the album on February 11, 1997, with the lead single ”Triumph’, which boasted a budget of $800,000. However, it’s the fact that it’s nearly six minutes long thats the outstanding fact according to RZA…….
“…I did “Triumph” ….radio and video stations was telling me it was too long… ..I had to edit it.. ..I told them… …take it as is… ..or they wont get nothing, feel me? …Next thing you know, we did the impossible: We got a 6 minute song on the radio… 6 minutes man, that’s serious, its unheard of.. …a 6 minute video…”
This 25th anniversary re-issue is available across 4 x slabs of 180gm vinyl.
