The W is the third studio album by American hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan. It was released on November 21, 2000, by Loud Records and Columbia Records. After their 1997 album Wu-Tang Forever, several of the group's members released solo projects before The W, which has a more rugged, less polished sound than that of most Wu-Tang related albums from that era.
