Take a good look at this album. When you're a generic indie kid like i was and then you stumble across this it's like having your head smashed against a wall. All my prejudices were thrown away and that album became one of my favourites instantly. The flow, the lyrics, the characters on show, the production, the sampling... all perfect.
I'm going to be completely blunt and say anyone with even a passing interest in music should listen to the Wu at some point. Essential.
