It's been awhile! Andy and Tyler return to the podcast chambers to welcome back, welcome back, welcome back the Wide World of Wu exploring ODB's iconic debut album. Are the beats better than the bars and are the bars better than ODB emulating an intimate encounter? Check it out to hear what we think.

Tyler and Andy dust off the mics and dive back into the wide world of Wu, exploring the underrated jewels of Masta Killa's 2012 album Selling My Soul. The two contemplate the short roster of guests and explore the unifying theme of soul woven through the tracklist.

Guest host Josh Tee joins up again with Andy and Tyler to reminisce about some of the greatest appearances of Wu-Tang Clan members on TV. Would you invest your money in Wu-Tang Financial? Would you satiate your hunger along with Wu-Tang in Space Eating Impossible Sliders? Who wins the battle rap between Method Man and James Corden? How many rhetorical questions are needed to properly hype a podcast episode? Is this enough? Can I stop now?

Andy and Tyler are joined by indie-rap guest host Josh Tee fka The Peruvian to break down the 2005 compilation Dreddy Krueger Presents Think Differently: Wu-Tang Meets the Indie Culture. Who's got the best beats & bars? What are the top tracks? Is MySpace coming back? Tune in to find out as we revisit this meeting of the mouths that brought MF DOOM, Del tha Funkee Homosapien and Aesop Rock face to face with GZA, U-God & the RZA.

Is Method Man an unsung hero of the horrorcore movement? Did Booster get the credit he deserves on "Bring the Pain"? What's up with all the car crashes at the beginning of this album? Hosts Andy and Tyler definitively answer none of these questions, yet spare no fun in revisiting Method Man's chart-topping 1994 debut TICAL.

Andy and Tyler dive headfirst into the 2018 9th Prince EP THE MADMAN'S REVENGE and find themselves digging its stellar production and formidable verses. Though neither Any nor Tyler owns one of the coveted original CD-Rs, they agree this lesser-known release has an effective lineup of contributors and solid replay value. Somehow both indie-pop darlings HAIM and Eurodance hip-hop chart-toppers SNAP! make their way into the conversation.

Hosts Andy and Tyler crank up the party vibes for Ooh I Love You Rakeem, the debut release of Prince Rakeem who would later be known as the RZA. While the EP is often recognized as a failure-to-launch that led RZA to redouble his efforts as a producer and emcee with the Wu-Tang Clan, Andy and Tyler find they're more smitten than expected with this formative endeavor. 

Andy and Tyler suit up and chop it up, diving into Ghostface Killah's legendary debut Ironman. They fawn over its beats and its barred-out tracklist, revisiting nuances like Cappadonna's monumental verse on "Winter Warz," its diverse sampling of audio clips and the origin story behind Ghostface Killah's obsession with Clarks Wallabees. 

Andy and Tyler go in on Raekwon's (and Ghostface Killah's) legendary 1995 album ONLY BUILT 4 CUBAN LINX, exploring its beats, bars, and its magical connection to John Woo's 1989 film The Killer. Tyler forgets the obvious tie-in between The Killer and Enter the 36 Chambers but sneakily edits it in after recording was completed. Rewind selector! 

Guest host Shahab joins Andy and Tyler to revisit GZA's immaculate solo album Liquid Swords, exploring its iconic beats, bars, and memorable tracks. The gang discusses seeing GZA live and tries to piece together an understanding of the "Hell's Wind Staff" skit that begins "Killah Hills 10304."
