Garment Renaissance

Wu Tang is the greatest

Yesterday marked 17 years since "Enter the 36 Chambers" dropped and changed music forever.

Let's not forget that the Wu were ahead of their time in every sense.
While most rappers were stuck on the same champion hoodie since '91, the W opened WU WEAR with a full line of apparel and flagship store.
