So how come NYC's Village Voice magazine didn't pick up on Wu-Tang Clan? (maybe they were in the albums)

No, Wu don't reach the albums until 1997.

"the start of hip hop's secret golden age, not that you'd know it from that wack VV poll. joel and i came up with this for 93:

1) wu - 36 chambers
2) the beatnuts - intoxicated demons
3) tribe - midnight marauders
4) de la - buhloone mindstate
5) snoop dogg - doggystyle
6) black moon - enta da stage
7) krs-one - return of the boom bap
8) souls of mischeif - 93 til infinity
9) lords of the underground - here come the lords
10) alkaholiks - 21 & over"


(Jeff adds: not too surprised that the Wu didn't make the Pazz & Jop poll, but I was expecting at least to see Snoop's "Who Am I (What's My Name)?". Anyway, needless to say I was totally ignorant of all of Ethan's suggested LPs save for Snoop and De La Soul at the time. And I still haven't heard 6 through 10 tho' most of them are on my "to buy" list.)


*sort of
